Time Travel Movies

I'm planning a time travel movie marathon so I'm starting a list. Titles you can add will be greatly appreciated.

Here's what I've come up with so far:

1. Back To The Future trilogy (of course!)
2. Donnie Darko
3. Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel (lol)
4. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (check this one out!)
5. The Lake House (hey, time still quite checks into the plot)
6. The Time Traveler's Wife

And those are the only ones I can think of right now. I just know I am missing out a lot.

I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

All these posts and nobody has mentioned Timecrimes?

So definently the following...

Primer
Timecrimes (Los Cronocrimenes)
12 Monkeys

and if you can track it down, I also wholeheartedly recommend a japanese film by the name of Summer Time Machine Blues.

The same goes for the rest of you.

Not precisely a movie but the New Outer Limits episode "A Stitch In Time" is IMHO the single best time travel story ever filmed.Period.

Apart from the Back to the Future trilogy, I'm convinced that the following four time travel movies won't let you down:

Los cronocrímenes - Timecrimes (2007)
Triangle (2009)
12 Monkeys (1995)
Primer (2004)

Butterfly effect
The Jacket

One of my favorites is Frequency. . . but only the radial waves travels in time in that movie.

[–] Sai_Soudou 14 years ago

Groundhog Day
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

Also I haven't seen it but Time After Time sounds like an unusual one - HG Wells meets Jack the Ripper.

I know you said movies but if you ever decide to also mix in TV shows, then Quantum Leap jumps about in time a lot.

Have a fun marathon.
