Top 5 Time Travel movies
Time travel is a concept that has existed since the end of time. You will have found that this list contained films that have never been seen before. As you read, you will read brief descriptions of the plot without any spoilers.
All movie descriptions and photos (unless otherwise cited) in this post are taken from IMDb.
5. Déjà Vu
After a ferry is bombed in New Orleans, an A.T.F. agent joins a unique investigation using experimental surveillance technology to find the bomber, but soon finds himself becoming obsessed with one of the victims.
Denzel is simply amazing. This movie particularly stuck with me for a few reasons, most of them including spoilers. So, I’ll just leave you with a crazy coincidence (or was it?!) that I experienced after seeing this movie. I boarded a boat while the Beach Boys’ song Don’t Worry Baby was playing in the overhead speakers. That’s all I’ll say.
4. Midnight in Paris
While on a trip to Paris with his fiancée’s family, a nostalgic screenwriter finds himself mysteriously going back to the 1920s every day at midnight.
This is Rachel McAdams’s first appearance in my top five list of best time travel movies of all time. Midnight in Paris is lovely and lighthearted and sometimes silly. It’s a beautiful insight into Woody Allen’s creative mind.
3. Predestination
As his last assignment, a temporal agent is tasked to travel back in time and prevent a bomb attack in New York in 1975. The hunt, however, turns out to be beyond the bounds of possibility.
Is Predestination a good movie? I don’t know. It messed me up. Its timeline is twistier and twisteder than pretty much anything else I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t resist including a diagram of the timeline below.
2. Tenet, Memento, and Interstellar
Christopher Nolan deserved a spot of his own in my ranking. One of his strong suits is blending suspense and surprise as they relate to time. I may prefer Memento out of these three, but they’re all worth mentioning.
Armed with only the word “Tenet,” and fighting for the survival of the entire world, CIA operative, The Protagonist, journeys through a twilight world of international espionage on a global mission that unfolds beyond real time.
A former insurance investigator who now suffers from anterograde amnesia uses notes and tattoos to hunt down his wife’s murderer.
When Earth becomes uninhabitable in the future, a farmer and ex-NASA pilot, Joseph Cooper, is tasked to pilot a spacecraft, along with a team of researchers, to find a new planet for humans.
1. About Time
At the age of 21, Tim discovers he can travel in time and change what happens and has happened in his own life. His decision to make his world a better place by getting a girlfriend turns out not to be as easy as you might think.
Not only is About Time one of my all-time favorite time travel films, but it’s also one of my all-time favorite movies of all time ever. Little apart from life itself could possibly prepare you to experience this story. It’s silly and quick, lovely and serious, fun and dangerous.
Riddle:
What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in a thousand years?
