Forever Young (1992):  A guy in suspended animation for 50 years finally 
awakens and tries to find his old girlfriend.

Kate and Leopold (2001):  A baron from the 19th century named Leopold 
travels through time to the 21st century, where he falls in love with 
Kate, a businesswoman in the present era.  She already had a present-day 
boyfriend named Stuart.  But she falls in love with Leopold.  He takes 
her back with him to the 19th century, they get married and live happily 
ever after.  The twist is that Stuart turns out to be Leopold's 
great-grandson.  That means--you guessed it--Stuart had once made love 
to his own great-grandmother!
