Time travel movies

Post by gallax »

Overlords of CYE :bow:
Me and some buddies gonna watch a ton of time travel movies this year, mainly for fun but also to look for plot holes, lazy writing, paradoxes etc.
We've kicked off last week with Safety Not Guaranteed (piece of shit) and Predestination (entertaining watch but full of holes) last week.
I've already compiled a list that I haven't seen or have seen but are up for a re-watch:

Haven't seen:
Sound of my voice (2012)
Je t'aime je t'aime (1968)
The Amazing Mr. Blunden (1972)
Time After Time (1979)
Source Code (2011)
Interstellar (2014)

Re-watch-worthy:
12 Monkeys
Primer
Terminator (1+2)
Edge of Tomorrow
Groundhog Day
Timecrimes
Looper (not impressed the first time, but that could change)
Edit: Back to the future (don't why I missed that one, thanks for the reminder)

I'm sure I've missed tons. Any recommendations that play around with the subject in an interesting way?
Add on...

These all feature some sort of time travel:

The Time Machine (60s one)
Planet Of The Apes (preferably the o.g)
The Terminator
Army Of Darkness
Midnight In Paris

if you want something lighter to rinse out all the paradox pondering try Godzilla Vs King Ghidorah (1991), it's built around time travel and is absolutely bonkers

Peter Cushing played a better Dr. Who than most of the official ones.

The only thing more overrated than Looper is Rian Johnson's career as a director.

Best X-Men movie imo.

Agree that looper is pooper. The ridiculously terrible & inconsistent prosthetics constantly took me out of the derivative plot with mediocre final twist.
1. Nas
2. Drake

that's pretty much it fam.
