Forget Tony Stark And Captain America, Bill And Ted Are The Best Time Travelers In Movie History
Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure is celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2024, having released in February 1989.
Whenever I watch time-travel movies, I find myself yelling at the screen a lot. You know how people shout at horror movie characters when they inexplicably head into the dark basement or wander alone into the woods to investigate a strange sound that’s obviously coming from an eight-foot-tall monster? That’s me, but I’m desperately trying to get Denzel Washington to understand his future self left that note in the past for his present self to find.
I’ve spent so much time thinking about how time travel movies and their characters mess up that I even wrote a book about it–So You Created a Wormhole: The Time Traveler’s Guide to Time Travel–which I’m obligated to plug roughly once a year for the rest of my life.
