Mine is The Time Machine (2002) by director Simon Wells

A novella, so against the rules: This Is How You Lose The Time War

Since it’s letters exchanged between adversaries, it’d be rough to translate to visual media.

duffman,

Not my absolute fAvorite but I think most time travel fans would appreciate this absolute gem of a movie: I’ll Follow You Down.

It’s dark beautiful and underappreciated.

Timecrimes

Cavemanfreak,

Was looking for this! I think a lot of people have missed this one because it’s in spanish, but it’s really good!

limited_characters,

Primer and Dark are great. I also really enjoyed Tenet.

Dark was neat. Lost interest after season 2 :/

Assassin 33 A.D: Black Easter.

It’s a Christian time travel movie where terrorists go back in time to murder Jesus before he can be crucified (therefore preventing Christianity from ever existing) and an atheist skeptic scientist has to go back in time to rescue Jesus, and also rescue his own faith.

The movie is crazy and I love it.

Having never heard of Black Easter, I wrote a brief synopsis, supposing the three magi were Herod’s assassins.

It’s no more far-fetched then current extrapolations regarding the Magi.

BreadOven,

Know what I’m watching on the next movie night.

Zeroc00l,

Tv show: Tripped a great watch, low-ish budget but very well done. Starts off as kind of a stoner comedy but gets way deeper, while still being fun. Also it’s more of a dimension travel show rather than time travel.

Movie: Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel probably my favourite time travel movie, heaps of fun and the actors & story are great.

Movie: Primer a pretty smart movie, I think the directors (who also starred) were scientists so the story is quite grounded in how time travel would (likely) work out.

Movie: Time Lapse a gripping movie about a camera that can show the future, mostly filmed in one house. A good watch.

Time Trap (2017). It’s a bit campy and a fun watch.

Archer,

I hate that the end of the movie is the beginning of a much more interesting movie! I wanna see it!

I_Fart_Glitter,

Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut, but that’s a book.

It’s not my favorite ever, but I’m currently watching a weird Canadian, 30 year old-woman-finding-herself comedy drama that is based around a magical therapist who uses time travel in his sessions. It’s called Being Erica and it’s on Hulu. I can’t stop watching it.

masquenox,

12 Monkeys.

No other “time travel” movie needs apply.

Primer, 12 Monkeys it’s good but Primer is better.

It’s so good, I got excited when a tv series was announced. Unfortunately the show was bollocks. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻)

masquenox,

I never bother with spin-off shit - it’s always just money-grabbing and little else.

Patariki,

Just because It hasn’t been mentioned yet: Terra Nova. It’s a shame it had to be cancelled because of Spielberg’s ego.

uhmbah,

Spielberg’s ego?

Patariki,

The series creators wanted to film the series in Hawaii. But another little dino project was also filmed on that location: Spielberg’s Jurassic Park. Spielberg also happened to be a producer of Terra Nova. He didn’t want Terra Nova to be filmed on Hawaii out of fear it would be too similar to Jurassic Park and he practically vetoed it away. This forced the creators to look elsewhere and i believe they settled on New Zealand. The problem however was that it was massively more expensive to film a series there. The costs eventually canned the series.

uhmbah,

Thanks for the explanation

lorez,

Back to the Future is the only correct answer.

I can’t count on my fingers how many times I’ve seen that fucking movie reprise on television. Way too overplayed that it ruined the film series for me.

Pietson,

It's far from my favourite but since most others have been mentioned I'll give Kung Fury a shout. It's hilarious.

OrangeJoe,

Tank you

theherk,

This movie is such a gem.

BruceTwarzen,

Dark and primer

kakes,

Recently watched Primer and absolutely loved it. I keep seeing Dark recommended as a followup - I really gotta see this show.

Is Dark a sequel? Or just a spiritual successor?

intensely_human,

Neither

kakes,

Just similar vibes, apparently.
