One of my favorite movies is "
Somewhere in Time" (with Jane
Seymour - unfortunately, the male lead is Christopher Reeve whose name doesn't fit the pattern). It's a love story set (mostly) in 1912. That's the year the Titanic went down - and characters in Somewhere in Time could well have been among the upper class passengers on the Titanic. The story has an interesting twist for the philosophically inclined, and the film has a cult following here in the U.S. - with fan club, newsletter, and annual convention on the site where most of the filming was done. (I have a photo of my wife & I re-enacting the "Is it you?" scene, on the very spot where it was shot.) It's not too hard to find a rental copy, or the DVD is readily available. Show up with a copy, and watch it together

"Sassafras" is a deciduous tree found in North America - the sap was once used as the primary flavoring element in "root beer". Then somebody discovered it also contained a miniscule amount of some substance that might have future health implications to a small fraction of people - like, their kids would be born naked or something like that.
You might be able to find some incense, or a scented candle, featuring the sassafras aroma.
