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 View Quote Based on a Robert Heinlein short. Terrific movie! |

The timeline map for Predestination is pretty awesome too, but does contain some major spoilers.

Quoted:
Here are mine, in no particular order: 1. Thrill Seekers Thrill Seekers Apparently in the future, tourists pay to be present at disasters, plane crashes, etc., in the past. But what happens when one of those disasters accidentally gets prevented? 2. The Butterfly Effect The Butterfly Effect The main character's method of time travel is kind of goofy, but this movie more than any I can remember shows how quickly time travel can fuck things up and how hard it is to unfuck them. 3. Star Trek IV, The Voyage Home Star Trek IV, The Voyage Home Humpback whales are extinct in the century where the main characters live. They have to go back in time and retrieve two of them to communicate with an alien space probe that is destroying earth because it can't find any extinct whales to communicate with. By far the best of the Star Trek movies with the original cast, and I don't care what anybody says. 4. Edge of Tomorrow Edge of Tomorrow A soldier is stuck in a time loop until he can figure out why and how to stop it. 5. Back to the Future Back to the Future This would probably be #1 if these were ranked in a particular order. A kid goes back in time and has to be careful to preserve the timeline so he doesn't accidentally prevent his own birth. 6. Twelve Monkeys 12 Monkeys In a bleak future, a convict is being used as a time-travelling guinea pig to find out why the world ended and to try to prevent it. 7. Source Code Source Code An army pilot keeps looping back to the past to try to prevent a terrorist bombing. 8. Planet of the Apes Planet of the Apes This is the Charlton Heston version from the late 1960's. No spoilers, but if this film doesn't have the ultimate surprise ending, I don't know what does. 9. The Time Machine The Time Machine It's rather tame by today's standards. Still, it was one of the first and best for its time and has to be included. 10. The Terminator The Terminator A robot from the future tries to assassinate the mother of the resistance fighter that defeated the robot army years in the future. View Quote |

Not a movie but Steins;Gate actually does time travel right.
Steins;Gate Zero, not so much. |

https://scdn.nflximg.net/images/0518/160518.jpg This was an interesting one. Pretty different from your typical time travel movie. It's like a sci-fi chick flick. But if you're a time travel fan, it's worth a watch. View Quote |

1. Groundhog Day (clear winner)
2. Millennium (so bad it's good) 3. Time Cop (Jean Claude van Bad) |

Planet of the Apes is not a time travel movie. It simply happens in the future. The relativistic speed of their travel thru space caused time to slow for the astronauts but time on Earth elapsed as it always had.

Every time travel movies ignores the fact that a "time machine" would also have to be some sort of spacecraft/teleporter. The earth moves.
That also ignores germs. How do we know that the time traveler won't kill humanity with their germs? What could have been "the common cold" 2000 years ago could kill humanity today.. And vise versa. That is, after all, the only explanation for Aliens in War of the Worlds. |

2nd vote (I think) for 'Time trap' (2017)
Time Trap IMDB On a night stop away from home, mindlessly watching TV, and this came out of left field and turned out much better than it started IMHO. Also, I'm sure somebody else has mentioned that time plays a critical role in 'Arrival', that was....different. |

Quoted: The first time I saw it, I thought it was a good movie, but I was still confused. The second time I saw it, it made a lot more sense. The third time I saw it, I prepped myself by studying a diagram of exactly how the time travel worked. I really need to see it a fourth time. View Quote I did and now I have to wait two years to see the movie for the first time. |

Not a movie, but the 12 Monkeys TV show on Syfi is really good. Much better then the movie
