We’ve all wished we could go back and live moments over. Especially high school. Wouldn’t you 
love to go back and say the things that you should have said, either to that bully in sixth period, to your autocratic home-room teacher or that girl in study hall whom you just could never summon up enough nerve to talk to? Well, one sub-genre of film is the time-travel adventure. I found a Web site that claims to list “The Top 15 Best Time Travel Movies,” which mentions some pretty good selections. There’s one big oversight, though: George Roy Hill’s 1972 film “Slaughterhouse-Five.” Based on Kurt Vonnegut‘s novel of the same name, the movie follows Billy Pilgrim, an eye doctor from Indiana who becomes “unstuck in time” and travels between World War II, his home in Indiana and the planet Tralfamadore/Dan Webster, Movies & More. More here.
Question: If you could go back in time to change one things, what would it be?

I don’t know if I would change anything, but I would love to just go back for a day to the time when everyone I have lost was still alive and spend time with them again.

I couldn’t think of one thing - but I did think of a thousand.
