This is a whole bunch of time travel movies. I'm including movies with explicit time travel, time loops, time manipulation, and communication/perception through time. I am not including traveling to parallel universes or through multiverses, nor am I including movies when someone sleeps their way to the future. I've tried to avoid movies when the time travel is just a dream. Some of these are judgment calls if they should be included; I've made that judgment call, though.

Films are ranked on their narrative use of time travel, their quantity of time travel depicted, and their general quality as a film.
