No, Buckaroo Banzai is definitely "dimension travel" and not "time travel".

"Where are we going?"

"Planet 10!"

"When?"

"Real soon!"

I forgot about "Time Changer", a cute Christian film about a guy from the 1800s traveling forward to see what comes from choices he is making now... not a great film but worth watching for the performance of the lead character, who portrays out-of-place-and-time 1800s guy charmingly and humorously.

There's a pretty good list here: www.imdb.com/list/T7UlftSOW0s/

I'm going nuts trying to remember the name of a movie where a guy travels forward in time by getting in this pod thing. They do a really cool job of showing how this pod sits in a building disguised as something else for like 80 years, how the cars and shops change... I thought Hugh Jackman was the lead, but I can't remember anything else...
