Time...

These are crazy, uncertain times right now.  Those of us staying at home find ourselves with an abundance of time:  time for family, time for worry, time for fun, time for prayer, time for togetherness, time for isolation.  In honor of all of this time we have on our hands, here is a collection of thoughts about, songs about, quotes about, and movies about time.


  • Turn, Turn, Turn! - The Byrds
  • Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper
  • Time is on My Side - The Rolling Stones
  • Time Travel - I've always loved movies (and after learning to love reading in my adult years, books) about time travel.  
    • Who doesn't love the Back to the Future series?!
    • The Lake House
    • Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
    • The Time Traveler's Wife
    • X-Men:  Days of Future Past
    • About Time - If you haven't see this one, you seriously should...I just love it!
    • Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
    • 13 Going on 30
    • 17 Again
    • Arrival
  • 9,986,000 Minutes - This scene in The Office where they are saying goodbye to Michael gets me every time.
  • Do You Remember the Time - Go back to simpler times...and just enjoy this song.  I remember being so excited when he would release a new video (Thriller started it all, Smooth Criminal, Black or White, etc).  These were epic moments growing up.
  • The Time of My Life - Bill Medley - I mean, come on! 
  • The passing of time - I've also always loved watching things that show the passage of time
    • Forrest Gump
    • Mr. Holland's Opus
    • Frequency
    • Biopics, etc.
    • long-running tv shows
    • LOST
    • the finale of Parks and Rec
  • Garth Brooks has so many amazing songs that relate to time (and his Vegas show and recent stadium tour were 2 of my all-time favorite concerts...and 2 of my all-time favorite moments with friends)
  • A Time to Kill - not really a movie about time, but a great movie with time in the title (and why not use some of this time we have watching Matthew McConaughey).
  • And of course, some Harry Potter quotes:
What are some of your favorites thoughts, quotes, movies, and/or songs about time?
