Which movie do you think used time travel the best? I personally think it’s Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, because I love the idea that everything that happens has already happened in the future. Unfortunately, the Cursed Child book ruined this completely. But tell me which movie do you think handled time travel the best, and which ones completely failed trying to make a good story?
In terms of the way time travel is portrayed, Primer. In terms of entertainment value, Edge of Tomorrow

Because its a dumb idea executed *so well.*
Just from the synopsis you are thinking "ill watch on a plane maybe" tier movie.
Its kinda like Steely Dans Aja - a completely stupid concept done with so much effort and skill that you get kinda mad at how well it turned out.
Yacht rock is a dumb idea - Aja is a maximalist execution on that dumb idea.
Time loop romance comedy movie is a dumb idea - Palm Springs is a maximalist execution on that dumb idea.

Primer was brilliant for how low budget and unassuming it was. The lack of budget and "college project" vibe made the time travel aspect work much better.
I imagine it would be far less impressive to see it for the first time now, after hearing all of the hype on listnook and elsewhere online. It's a movie that exceeds deservedly-low expectations.

Right from the start it broke the very believable logic of the movie and started introducing some weird magical stuff caused by time travel, if I remember well it was about the same wristwatch meeting itself from another timeline and causing an explosion or something.
I gave up when there was something like a weird storm caused by time travel.

First movie that came to my mind too. How is this not the top rated proposition. How is Harry Potter the movie that launches this discussion (and don't get me wrong, I love HP). Even Terminator is a better contender for top time traveling movie somehow. Edge of Tomorrow also deserves a top spot.

I'm older. Saw Back to the Future when it came out at the York Theater in SF. And I love it. But the execution of time travel in HP3 was brilliant, and Cuaron's direction of the movie makes the reveal and the subsequent execution of the scenes that follow put it at the top for me as well.

I love this film and this shaped what I aspire to be. I want to find not fame nor riches, but true contentment in life and pure happiness with my family.
Although the final intended message of the film was that of the son’s eventual giving up of using his time travel powers, it was the way the father used his powers which really moved me.
To spend your powers to read books or to walk down the beach with your son, it was truly mind blowing for me.
We should really ought to know what truly makes us happy and what truly makes our lives beautiful.

Thank you. I don't know why this didn't pop into my head first but once I saw this I knew it was Timecrimes for sure.
For anybody who doesn't love subtitles, the film is incredibly laid out and follows one character from their POV the whole time. So all of the storytelling doesn't really need that much dialogue to drive it. Plus the performances are great for such a small film.
Incredible twist, and manages to keep you intrigued even once it shows its hand.

Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy? Or was that only in the books, don't quite remember.
But they're both some of my top favourite books and movie, so if the movie does include it, it would obviously be my favourite.
If not, I've always had a soft spot for the Time Machine. It's corny af, but the visuals and soundtrack make it a joy to watch. It portrays time travel in its most base form, and I love it.

Planet of the apes, the first one - that ending scene was classic

I hate every ape I see,
From Chimpan-A to Chimpanzee!
You finally made a monkey out of me!

Terminator 2: Judgement Day
It holds up so well, even if the sequels were hit and miss, and is a classic.

I like the original Time Machine movie. Besides the book itself, I liked the visual hypothesis and the genuinely eerie feeling of what could be in store in the future. The idea of radiation sending us underground, which mutates us into cannibalism. And the descension into the dark ages for the surface dwellers who don't read anymore, don't question anything, accept their cruel fate, and follow a siren in a trance state rather than fighting.

Star Trek IV. Scotty gives away the secret to transparent aluminum and talks to a computer mouse. Chekov asks where the nuclear "wessels" are. Spock mind melds with a whale. McCoy saves a patient from dialysis with a pill. Kirk tells the crew "Everyone remember where we parked" the cloaked Bird of Prey. The crew saves the world by saving the whales. It's perfect!

Had to scroll far down to see this one! Love it and one of my favorites. Has both the back in time and travel to the future elements. Also has the pure despair of trying to change the past being futile

Primer is my favourite movie about time travel.
Tenet has the most impressive/intricate use of time travel.

Most time travel rubs me wrong. A flash, and a bang and you are somewhere else in another time.
I liked how *Tenet* changed that convention. It seems more grounded to me.

I'm more of a 'time-loop' type. I think that counts as timetravel as well. I really like "In The Tall Grass", "Triangle", "Primer". I think Resolution and The Endless also fit somewhat.

Not a movie, but there's an episode of Stargate where they get stuck in a time loop. [I love how bored they get.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l3D1zrNhrlc&pp=ygUSc3RhcmdhdGUgdGltZSBsb29w)

Edge Of Tomorrow is fantastic. Also loved Interstellar, Tenet, Back To The Future, and of course, The Time Machine.

12 Monkeys.. You can try all you want, but you can't change time.. Because whatever you do, it already happened.

somewhere in time is overlooked a lot. Very minimalist in its scale and story.

That I like the most? Probably Back to the Future. Maybe Flight of the Navigator. This century? Edge of Tomorrow. Endgame is also pretty high.
The best one? Or even the one that has my favourite interpretation of time travel? That's a different question

About Time. It really had a huge impact on how I want to be and how I want to act as an adult and as a father.
