Time After Time (1979).

Tuck Everlasting?

Forgive me if I repeat any:
Berkeley Square (1933)
From IMDb: Leslie Howard (Ashley of "Gone with the Wind") gives a very forceful performance here as a young man who is fascinated by his ancestry and somehow transports himself to an earlier era, with unhappy consequences he couldn't have expected when events turn against him. // This was remade as "I'll Never Forget You" (1951).

The Enchanted Cottage (1945)
From IMDb: A homely maid and a scarred ex-GI meet at the cottage where she works and where he was to spend his honeymoon prior to his accident. The two develop a bond and agree to marry, more out of loneliness than love. The romantic spirit of the cottage overtakes them, and they soon begin to look beautiful to each other~but to no one else. // There's no time travel, but it has a mystical element.

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947)
From IMDb: At the beginning of the 20th century, Mrs. Edwin (Lucy) Muir, widowed for one year, decides to move out of her controlling in-laws' home in London to the English seaside with her daughter, Anna, and their devoted maid, Martha. Despite the rental agent trying to dissuade her, Lucy decides to rent Gull Cottage though it's reportedly haunted by the ghost of Captain Daniel Gregg. She does meet Gregg face-to-face but refuses to be frightened away. As time progresses, the two develop a friendship and a bond. Despite his statements to her that she needs to live her life, including finding another husband, Daniel seems not to approve of any of the men who enter her life.

Portrait of Jennie (1948)
From IMDb: Eben Adams is a talented but struggling artist in Depression-era New York City who has never been able to find inspiration for a painting. One day, after he finally finds someone to buy a painting from him, a pretty but odd young girl named Jennie Appleton appears and strikes up an unusual friendship with him.

Miracle in the Rain (1956)
From IMDb: In this fanciful tale set in New York City during World War II, a shy, lonely woman and a dashing soldier from Tennessee meet in the rain late one afternoon and end up falling in love. Sadly, Fate threatens to come between them.

Sandcastles (1972)

Somewhere, Tomorrow (1983)
From IMDb: Young Lori Anderson lost her father in a plane crash. While her mother appears to be picking up the pieces of her life, Lori isn't. She is resentful of every decision that her mother makes, from selling the family horse farm to a relationship with the local sheriff. Lori doesn't know what to do and turns to her father's journals filled with psychology and metaphysics for answers. One day, a client coming to see about the boarding of his horse, crashes in a plane with his best friend. The friend manages to escape tragedy, but the client, Terry Stockton, dies. However, Lori can see and actually touch the supposedly dead Terry after she finds him in the woods. After some struggle, Lori comes to believe that she is meant to help Terry. With the aid of her father's journals and Terry's best friend, they try to find out why Terry's spirit hasn't crossed over. A complication then develops in the situation when Lori and Terry begin to fall for each other.

Desert Winds (1995)
From IMDb: Jackie and Eugene are joined by a mystical wind tunnel which enables them to speak across a 500-mile desert. Believed by the Indians to be an omen of good luck, the wind inspires both characters to face their fears and follow their hearts.

Happy Accidents (2000)
From IMDb: Ruby Weaver has man trouble: She tries to fix them, so she's stuck herself with a string of losers. Her current lover, Sam Deed, seems different: He's sweet and tender. As Ruby tells her therapist about Sam, in flashbacks we see someone not quite of this world. In fact, Sam informs Ruby, he's from the future, 2470 to be exact. Ruby's sure he's delusional but believes she can fix him.

The Seventh Stream (2001)
From IMDb: Set in Ireland during the early 1900s, the movie is the story of Owen Quinn, an aging fisherman who, five years after the death of his wife, still can't move on with his life and spends most of his time alone, outside the town's society, mourning his loss. One night, a mysterious woman appears to him claiming to be a Selkie and asks him to help her to recover her skin, which has been stolen by a local fisherman. Owen doesn't believe this at first, but, when fish start to be scarce and only his former apprentice Thomas Dunhill seems unaffected, he starts to believe the woman's story. Helping the mysterious Selkie find her way home, Owen discovers a new way to see life. Before he knows it, he falls in love with the strange woman. However, it is said that romance with one of these creatures is always doomed. // If you like this, you might enjoy "The Secret of Roan Inish" (1994).


Time and Again (2007)
From IMDb: When Anna Malone finds an old music box hidden in a house she is renovating, she has no idea the joys, sorrows, and hidden dangers it will bring. // It's not really a romance but is quite intriguing as, each time the music box plays, reality changes for her.

The Edge of the Garden (2011)
From IMDb: Newly single Brian Connor buys a long abandoned house in the country. After moving in he begins to communicate with a woman who lived in the house 50 years ago and who died under mysterious circumstances.

I love this "Amazing Stories" episode, directed by Clint Eastwood: "Vanessa in the Garden". From IMDb: When a brilliant young artist's beloved wife dies in a carriage wreck, the grief-stricken husband is possessed with an incredible plan to bring her back through his art.

Also, there are these touching, time-spanning episodes of the "Twilight Zone" revival series:
1) "A Message from Charity" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn58g1J3DDA
2) "Her Pilgrim Soul" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8codF61ga6w


There have been some wonderful suggestions: Somewhere in Time, Time After Time, For All Time, The Lake House, The Two Worlds of Jennie Logan. I also vote for the novel "The Mirror" by Marlyn Millhiser. I've always wondered why no one filmed it; it would make a wonderful miniseries or even series as the two women adjust to their new bodies and vastly different environments.
