8. Time After Time (1979)

In Time After Time, time-traveler H.G. Wells himself crosses over to grab Jack the Ripper who is escaping into the future. History and time travel blend fabulously in an exciting journey to explore a fantastical world about a futuristic state while trying to stop the dreaded killer. That's what Time After Time is, a fun intermix of the sci-fi film and detective thriller, a truly timeless classic. The film remains re-watchable because of the entertaining plot, an unusual idea, and especially the chemistry of characters with Wells in contrast to the modern world.
