Top 5: Methods for Time Travel

Who wouldn't want a chance to travel through time? Whether you're revisiting the past, fixing mistakes, or just going to see what it was or will be like, it seems like a great time. Unfortunately, science hasn't quite gotten us to that point, but that simple things like "facts" have never stopped Hollywood from making a buck on our wildest fantasies.

The Qualifications:

• The device must be made in a movie. I'm not interested in your theoretical gadgets, and blah, blah, blah technical words.
• Listed in order from best to worst.

The List:

1. DMC Delorean (from Back to the Future) The Pros: To quote Doc, "The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?" Well said. In addition to its sleek design, you only have to get moving to a relatively modest 88 mph. I'm also fairly certain Huey Lewis and The News was in the tape deck. The Cons: Not very useful unless you happen to have some plutonium sitting around (or an impossibly well-timed lightning bolt). Oh, and you may have to make out with your mother in order to assure your own future existence.
2. Hot Tub (from Hot Tub Time Machine) The Pros: Sure, the tub in question only takes you to one place, a ski lodge in 1986, but could you reasonably ask for a better place to go? Also, this time machine didn't seem too concerned about paradoxes, so feel free to stay behind and build your empire, as the inventor of google, or whatever you end up calling it. The Cons: The only band playing that night was Poison and you have to be the same age you were in 1986. If you haven't been born yet, no problem, but I would be stuck in my 3-year-old body.
3. U.S.S. Enterprise (from Star Trek IV and Star Trek: First Contact) The Pros: You're on a freakin' interstellar spaceship. The Cons: They never seem to time travel just for the hell of it (that's what the holodeck is for). They're always having to fight to save the whales or fight The Borg.
4. Phone Booth (from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure) The Pros: George Carlin. The Cons: Getting stuck with these guys:
5. Time Displacement Bubble (from The Terminator) The Pros: You are no longer trapped in a dystopian hell-scape dominated by cyborgs bent on your demise and forced to masturbate quietly to your one prized possession: an old, beat up photo of a pregnant Sarah Connor. And you inadvertently sire the savior of humanity while actually sleeping with Sarah Connor. The Cons: First off, time travel looks rather painful for us non-cybernetic organisms. When you stop rolling around in agony, you realize you're naked, have no money, and there is still a cyborg bent on your demise (and worse yet, he succeeds).

I would so see this movie:
