If About Time hit the spot, these will too

Loving someone whose time with you keeps slipping
The difference: The travel is a curse here — grief outweighs comfort

A life outside time and the love that makes it ordinary again
The difference: Glossier and more solemn — little of the Curtis humor

Long love examined honestly, argument by argument
The difference: No magic and no cushion — the fights draw real blood

The same mix in both: stillness, then romance

Tender and dreamlike in the same breath

Drama with a pulse of stillness, in both cases
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Time travel running in the family, secrets and all
The difference: German YA adventure — destiny plot over daily-life warmth

Supernatural gifts complicating a small-town romance
The difference: Southern gothic YA — showier and far less tender

Romantic romance, and it commits to that

Both lean on tenderness more than on fantasy

Dreamlike drama in both cases

Romance built on stillness, twice over
The difference: 26 years apart, and the 1980s show
