Just curious what everyone's favourite top 10 time travel movies are.

Mine are;

1. Donnie Darko
2. Back to the Future
3. Back to the Future 3
4. Dreamland
5. The Time Machine (1960)
6. Back to the Future 2 (Whilst i like all the BttF movies this is my least fave)
7. 12 Monkeys
8. The Terminator
9. S. Darko
10.Bill & Teds Excellent Adventure

I've heard good things about Primer but haven't got around to see it yet.
And just to reiterate, the question isn't which is the "best" but which are your favourite.

I like all of the above and Im adding the Lake House. Woulnt exactly call it a time travel movie cuz no one travels on it except mail but its still got to do with the present tampering with the past and really gives some major brain twisters figuring out how time paradox works.

Would you consider 2001: A Space Odyssey a time travel movie?

There are not many time travel movies that I don't like, but I am thinking you either never saw Time After Time or forgot about it. There are not many Top 10 lists I have not seen it in. Somewhere In Time is also very good for what it conveys.

I just saw Timecrimes last month and thought it ranked right up there with Primer.

I like Timecop. Ron Silver and Ron Silver occupying the same space at the same time.

well besides Back to the Future trilogy which is always one of the first ones that comes to mind i would like to add...

-Deja Vu (2006) (8-9/10) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0453467/
-The Butterfly Effect (2004) (9/10) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0289879/

p.s. i also liked 'Primer' (2004) ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390384/ ) as mentioned above. it's low budget but it's interesting ;) . i give that a solid 7/10.

also... i can't believe the OP listed 'S Darko' as 'one of the best' time travel movies as it's a average movie at best overall as it lost all the quality etc etc that Donnie Darko had. i gave 'S Darko' a 4/10 (maybe a 5/10 AT BEST)

Yes I liked Butterfly Effect, the first one. The next 2 were awful. The 2nd was not much better than a porn flick. ;-)

I also liked Somewhere in Time, an old movie starring a young Christopher Reeve.
