2. Time Travel Movie - About Time

About Time is certainly the most emotional movie in this list. The film captures a relationship between a father and a son and the time travel part offers the opportunity to wax philosophical about death and regret in life. The romantic comedy part between Domhnall Gleeson and Rachel McAdams is what made us hooked to the film, but the relationship between the time-traveling father and son Gleeson and Bill Nighy got tears in our eyes.

The film is a masterpiece thanks to its animation and performances depicting a realistic future and how space travel would look like at that time. Featuring Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood and William Sylvester play the leading roles in the narrative, this film should surely be in your watch list if you haven’t seen it already.

4. Time Travel Movie - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

One of the best films in the Harry Potter franchise, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, is one of the best time-travel movies ever made. Directed by Alfonso Cuaron, the film’s execution was tremendous, from brilliant cinematography to the motifs that clue the audience to the shifting time scenarios, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is worth a watch as it is full of curiosity, danger and of course the amazing story telling.

5. Time Travel Movie - Edge of Tomorrow

Edge of Tomorrow is a perfect mix of Tom Cruise’s action packed scenes, Emily Blunt’s incredible strength, Christopher McQuarrie’s unique skills as a writer, and Doug Liman as an ambitious writer. Edge of Tomorrow is worth a watch, what’s the best part about this film is that every scene is so fresh even if we’re watching the same day play over and over again. The secret ingredient can be Tom Cruise playing an outright coward, which stands in a complete opposite direction to the public perception of his onscreen persona, which therefore results in a wonderfully refreshing experience for the audience.

Interstellar is set in the year 2067, where humanity is struggling to survive, and shows how a group of volunteers take up a mission to travel through a wormhole near Saturn, hoping to find a safer place to live in a distant galaxy.

8. Time Travel Movie - Primer

Most time-travel movies try to keep the time-travel mechanism simple, but that is not true for the 2004 released Primer. Written, directed and starring Shane Carruth, the indie drama revolves around two engineers who accidentally discover the mechanism of time-travel while tinkering with entrepreneurial tech projects. Primer is one of the most scientifically intense time-travel movies ever made as Shane didn’t remove any scientific part from the film and used charts to explain the exact mechanism of time travel.
