Okay, so the other day I was really in the mood for a movie like “About Time.” You know, that charming, feel-good flick with a bit of sci-fi and a lot of heart? But I’d seen it like a million times already. So, I set out to find something similar. Here’s how I did it:
The Search Begins
First, I fired up Google, naturally. I typed in “movies similar to About Time.” Pretty straightforward, right?
The initial results were… okay. Lots of lists, some familiar titles, some I’d never heard of. I started jotting down some names.

- “When We First Met”: Looked interesting, time travel and romance, seemed good.
- “Palm Springs”:This was pop-up serveral times, but it’s more comedy.
- “The Time Traveler’s Wife”:I should watch this.
Diving Deeper with keywords
But I wanted to get more specific. I started thinking about what I really loved about “About Time.” It wasn’t just the time travel; it was the warmth, the family aspect, the British humor, the overall optimistic vibe. So, I refined my searches.
I tried things like:
- “romantic comedies like About Time”
- “feel-good movies with time travel”
- “British romantic comedies”
This helped a lot. I started seeing some less obvious suggestions, and it gave me more keywords to play with.I get more movies which I am interested.
IMDB, Reddit… and My Own Brain!
Then, I remembered IMDB has a “More Like This” section. Perfect! I went to the “About Time” page and scrolled down. Found a few more possibilities there.
Finally, I hit up Reddit. I figured there had to be a subreddit dedicated to movie suggestions (and there is, of course!). I searched within the subreddit for “About Time” and found some great threads with people asking the same question. Score!
The Final List
After all that digging, I ended up with a pretty solid list. I haven’t watched them all yet, but I’m feeling good about my options. It was a bit of a process, but hey, finding the perfect movie is serious business, right?
That is all my experience, thanks for your reading.
