I really really like John Wyndham's Chronoclasm, which is a sort of 1950s Time Traveller's Wife. Man meets very odd girl who turns out to be from the future and knows all about him, teaches him to make the time machine that sends her back in time to meet him etc...
In fact loads of John Wyndham short stories are fab. I like Dumb Martian, which is about a man who buys a 'stupid' martian lady to be his wife while he's living in exile on some planet somewhere, and treats her like crap but she turns out to be not so dumb after all and kills him in the end.
I don't think any of them have been made into films, and they'd need updating a bit, but I like them lots.
