The Lake House (2006)
Dumb movie
This movie has horrible acting and the whole plot of the movie doesn't work. I get that there is a 'magic mailbox' and I am actually OK with that. It's not that this plot is 'implausible', it's just that the plot doesn't follow its own rules. SPOILERS: Sandra Bullocks character is a doctor and early in the movie Keanu Reeves character dies in her arms and after that fact her boss tells her to take time off at a place she loves (ie the house she sold, 'the lake house'). So when she is there, that is when she finds the first 'magic letter' from two years in the past from Keanu Reeves character. So they start corresponding through time and ultimately fall in love. OK, I'll buy that. But when she figures out he dies on that day, she tells him through the 'magic mailbox' not to be where he died on that day. So he doesn't get hit by that bus and he doesn't die. Then she tells him to wait two years and then meet her at the mailbox (ie that very day she warns him about his impending death) And he shows up. But if he hadn't died that day, she would never have found his letter because she never would have gotten the advice to go back to the house she had sold. He changed her past in that he didn't die, but the rest that happened because of it still happened. END OF SPOILERS. So that is why the movie was implausible. It didn't follow its own rules.
