Okay, it's generally agreed this one is pretty cheesy and full of holes. (Capsule review: Swiss cheese.)

So let's have at it:

What are the greatest time travel movies ever made?

Well most of the time travel films I have seen are full of holes.

Even the best time travel movies can be picked apart but that shouldn't take away from the fun when watching them.

I'm not going with the obvious ones like "Time Machine" or "Terminator" as the top of the list, I'll kick it off with 1985's "Trancers" as my personal favorite. Short, clever, entertaining, and full of holes.

Time After Time, of course. Back to the Future. Millenium. Just to name a few but i have plenty more.

Timerider with Fred Ward, also a bit cheesy but not stupid except for the rogue cowboys of Peter Coyote.
