Good time travel movies?
- Thread starter Dream
- Start date
"Time After Time" is definitely a favorite and it's directed by Nicholas Meyer from Star Trek II. Also one of my favorites is "Grand Tour: Disaster in Time" with Jeff Daniels.
I like how Bill and Ted is the only time travel film that I can think of that truly only has one timeline, and one version of it
Primer is a total mind-scrambler. They actually made diagrams to help explain it.
The Terminator movies?
I didn't think the remake of The Time Machine (Guy Pearce) was as bad as everyone else apparently did.
12 Monkeys is probably my favorite of the genre.

Time Chasers/Tangent. 
(I actually say that with an ounce of seriousness. It's not "that" bad a movie.)

Have you seen 12 Monkeys?
My all time favorites are The Terminator and Back to the Future.
Why aren't good time travel films still made? It seems like the last one I can remember where the time travel isn't incidental (Like in the latest Star Trek movie) is The Lake House.
Also, I never cared much for Primer. It just seemed more confusing and hyperfocusing on the time travel rather than actually trying to tell an engaging story with good characters.
It's already been mentioned, but Frequently Asked Questions about Timetravel is about two years old and Anna Farris rocked that with her cock out.
Meanwhile it's not completely out yet, but some people have seen Aubrey Plaza and friends mess it up in Saftey not guaranteed... OH! look, that's got Chloey from 24 in it too.

Journeyman was enjoyable, it's just a shame hat it last only one season.
yeah it's a time loop.. so yeah it also qualifies.. but it's also deadly dull because no one can actually change anything... whereas Bill and Ted they can change things but the writers still made it play into one time line!
The Time Travelers (1964)
Time After Time hasn't been mentioned yet? Wow.
That's a great one, although a lot of people mix it up with Somewhere in Time which came out around the same, er, time.

Plus, its stars include Malcolm McDowell (Star Trek: Generations), David Warner (Star Trek V, Star Trek VI), and Mary Steenburgen (Back to the Future, Part III).
The Terminator & the Back to the Future trilogy are my all-time favorite time travel movies. Actually, Part II is my favorite BTTF movie. I love all the paradoxes, the way it goes inside the first movie, and the quick pacing of the whole affair. Plus, it has one of the most awesome movie cliffhangers of all time.
Then there was this really good one that I saw at a film festival a few years ago. It's about this guy that's experimenting with time travel in his basement and keeps traveling back to this one party over & over again. However, he can only stay for 11 minutes before needing to return to his own time. But he keeps arriving in the wrong order. So when he first arrives, everyone else already knows who he is. It's very timey-wimey.
I enjoyed that. Liked how Gillian coverted it for 12 Monkeys.
