10 Time Travel Movies That Start In The Past

From The Time Machine to Time After Time, some classic time travel movies open in the past. Time travel movies usually start off in the present before the protagonist’s life is upended by traveling to the past or the future – or both. The Back to the Future trilogy begins with Marty McFly enjoying his typical teenage existence in 1985 before sending him to 1955, then 2015, then a dark alternate version of 1985, then back to 1955, then way back to 1885 before finally returning him to 1985. But that’s not always the case; some time travel movies open in the past (relative to the movie’s definition of the present).
