There's a movie with the same idea as The Lake House, but it was filmed earlier. A man (a writer?) ends up sending love letters to a woman sometime in the turn of the 20th century, maybe earlier. I think it was filmed in the 90s.

Somewhere in Time (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somewhere_in_Time_%28film%29)

That's my all time favorite movie!

Or possibly The Love Letter (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0140340/)

Sounds better because in Somewhere in Time, he travels back but does not write her any letters.

I was hoping Quinn F would pull through. Thanks!

Glad to help.
