OK, one to Spud for a very silly time travel film with plot by SF author Josef Nesvadba, which amused a lot of SF fans when he was guest of honour at a British convention in 1980-ish. Watch out for the reversed video title sequence and the impressive number of accidental deaths the hero causes while trying to prevent Hitler from being saved. It's free to watch on Youtube, but the subtitles are a pretty dire translation

Two to go!
