All good choices, OP, especially The Butterfly Effect and 12 Monkeys.

Honorable mention should go to Primer, as well.

There is only one choice for the all time greatest time travel movie, though...

Predestination

That’s a good flick.

Primer FTW.  I have seen it several times and still catch new things when I rewatch it.

What absolutely blows my mind is the two main guys wrote, directed, filmed, and scored the whole movie themselves. On a threadbare budget.

And it's considered to be perhaps the best time travel movie ever. From a scientific standpoint.

I'd call it time dilation instead of time travel.

Plotting a position in the universe is not the hard part of Time Travel.
The actual Time Travel is the hard part.

There is no such thing as absolute position or movement in space.  Everything is relative to something else.  So if your time machine that doesn't ignore Earth's movements is supposed to appear "in the same place" it was, there is no way to know where that would be.

Besides, it's a lot easier from a storytelling perspective to assume it's relative to the Earth.

Unfortunately, I don't believe it is currently on Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Prime.

But it is definitely worth purchasing.

A very good movie of its own right. But considering it was pretty much just a passion project with the same guy directing, producing, writing, acting, editing and doing music, lol and making the whole movie for $7,000... it's a fucking masterwork.

That's  a great first date movie.  Richard Matheson (One of my favorite horror writers) wrote that after vacationing with his wife
at some seaside resort.  The place had an old photograph of Maude Adams in the lobby and he sort'a fell in love with her ( Many decades too late).
