What time travel movie is this?
I saw a movie between 1985-1990 (on VHS) having to do with time travel to the past. The only part I remember is when the boy, who has traveled back in time, gets in trouble for using money that appears to be counterfeit he's using present-day money in the past). Any idea what movie this is?

Best answer: I remember it too. Not back to the future. Don't know the title, but heres a few more details:
The time machine swirled around really fast and then showed up in the same spot ~100 years earlier
The kid shows up at a gas station, and "fixes" the price/gallon price incorrectly (ie $1.00 instead of $.10)
I think there was a discussion about knickerbockers

Best answer: I'm pretty sure it's The Blue Yonder (IMDB).

Also, there was an older scientist guy. Maybe his grandfather? I think that some of the time travel adventures had to do with this older guy's family/past

Response by poster: Wow, that was fast. The Blue Yonder sounds right, although I was 6 or 7 when I first saw it. I'm going to try to get my paws on it. Thanks!

Another boy-time-traveler from the early '80s:
the public TV show Voyagers.

I definitely have a copy of this on VHS - it was one of the Disney Sunday Movies.
On my (handmade) label its just called The Time Machine, and sits right next to Fuzzbucket and The Deacon Street Deer.

You may be thinking of "Somewhere in Time" with Christopher Reeve.

I won't discuss the details it as it's a major spoiler, but it definately involves time travel and the problems of backdated currency.
