The best was butterfly effect! And he continued n tried many dates!

And the painful ending after he tried many! Powerful.

Time cop was too creepy. Despite good stories n action i was disgusted by creepy, both.

Most Romantic was lake house, the mail box one.

Back future was good , i agree with one who said best family film, and with other most entertaining series, back to future. In it i agree 2nd was best but all series good. But not as good as butterfly effect!

I read Michael Crichton’s Timeline some years ago. I didn’t know in 2003 the releases the movie. It was pretty good with a young Paul Walker and Gerard Butler.
While not the best time travel movie in my opinion, those have already been mentioned, certainly worth a recommendation.

As always though, the book was better.

Endgame  (I'm truly surprised no one mentioned it...). Back to the Future  (it isn't brilliant, it's just hilarious!) Outlander  (not a movie, but it's original in that  they can't change the future , unlike most time travel films).

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Avengers: End Game was the best plot wise, because branching timelines were less brainrot than the grandfather paradox.
Ultimately time travel as a whole is just nonsense, but even fantasy should have a story that isn't paradoxical. So I like how they resolved that for story practicality.

The Flash movie almost did the same thing, but they added the grandfather paradox on top of it, and poorly thought out fulcrum points that change the parts of the past that were before his entry point, while also making unreasonable exceptions for Barry.
So it became even more illogical than back to the future's version of time travel.

Forget all answers  you will read in this page 😆 I pretend  I can name the definitive answer , to date, for the most complicated, inventive and mind-blowing experience of time travel: It's adapted from an Heinlein's short story called All You Zombies that I also consider the definitive answer, in literature, to your question.

No one else has mentioned "Somewhere in Time," a 1980 movie starring Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeves. Why is it the best? Jane Seymour, of course!

AviatorTom · Answer

The trilogy of  Back to the Future  movies is the most entertaining. We'll never forget 1.21 gigawatts, the flux capacitor and Doc Brown.

I like: the time Traveler’s Wife and Predestination. I also really love Coherence but it’s not really a time travelling style.
