About this list
16 movies · Updated 2026-09-26
A character must move to another point in time or repeatedly experience the same period. Visions, alternate lives and wishes without that displacement stay outside this list. The entries describe the device so you can choose a journey or a loop.
Hallmark sends characters across years by train, hourglass and other improbable routes. Some stories trap a person in the same day until something changes. These films use an actual trip through time or a repeated period as a substantial part of the story.
