The Time Machine and popular culture

H. G. Wells certainly didn't invent the concept of time travel with The Time Machine, but he sure did popularize it. 

Time travel is easily one of the most interesting things you can see on any book, movie or TV show because the possibilities are endless, even if the science behind it is inaccurate. Heck, my favorite movie of all time is Back To The Future, and even with the time travel aspect being extremely "dumbified" for the sake of keeping the plot simple, it still manages to be an excellent movie that keeps you on your toes from start to finish, and it explores a world where anything can happen.

Another hugely influential movie, Terminator, also has a time travel plot, mixed with an action blockbuster movie, while Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure tries to bring the concept to a more humorous side. You can do pretty much anything with time travel because it has so much potential.
