30. The Final Countdown / The Philadelphia Experiment

Although most people would file this film under "flop," The Final Countdown contains such an amazing premise it has to be recognized. The crew of the U.S.S. Nimitz enters a storm vortex and is transported to Pearl Harbor in 1941, turning a favorite imaginary wargame scenario into real life. Although the actual film elements aren't necessarily memorable, it does give us an incredibly good look at the Nimitz (the film was shot on the actual carrier).



We tossed in The Philadelphia Experiment at the same spot, since it's essentially the reverse of The Final Countdown.
