Help me out. I'm trying to think of the quintessential films that demonstrate the different types of theoretical time travel.

  • Back to the Future
  • 12 Monkeys
  • Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure or Predestination

    • What else? I'm thinking Primer is a 12 Monkeys type, but maybe it needs another category. And what about multiverse? What's the best choice there?

    @tomasino primer is its own type, and one of the better ones in terms of probable realism.

    maybe edge of tomorrow for its own.... thing... basically groundhog day with extra steps.

    @earthshine @tomasino I agree that Primer is a different “type” than 12 Monkeys.

    “Groundhog Day” is absolutely a prototype for a distinct category of time travel film.
