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

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.

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.

LillyPip,

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!

MrEC,

Project Almanac

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.

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.

limited_characters,

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

Dark was neat. Lost interest after season 2 :/

crimroy,

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!

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.

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.

TurtsnGurt,

Bodies (2023) on Netflix. I found it in my suggestions and thought the premise was intriguing so I decided to give it a watch. I ended up binging the entire season. It won’t likely get a second season but it seems the writers planned on it just being a one off.

Technically not a time travel movie but it has a few elements of it: Interstellar (2014)

noroute,

Interstellar reminds me of Inception. Hard to follow and not much logic behind it.

No_Ones_Slick_Like_Gaston,

If this is your take stay away from Tenet

focusforte,

I’d argue that time dilation is a form of time travel.

Appoxo,
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

What I meant is it wasnt the main plot of the movie.
It was a concern but not the primary.

AWittyUsername,

Dark or 12 monkeys. Bodies didn’t start off great but that was also pretty good. Anything time travel has a 10x multiplier for how I judge it though tbh.

Prisoner of Azkaban was for me the only good Harry Potter movie, because I dig time travel movies

The ultimate mindfuck time paradox movie is for me “Predestination”

Bruncvik,

The movie is based on the short story All You Zombies by Robert A. Heinlein, and it does a great job preserving the spirit and internal logic of the narrative. When you take that into account, you’ll realize how impressive the filmmaking is here. It’s hands down my favourite time travel movie.
