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?

    Doh! Arrival!

    Update:

    • Back to the Future, mutable timeline
    • 12 Monkeys, fixed deterministic
    • Primer, recursive overlap
    • Groundhog Day, time loop
    • Arrival, deterministic block universe, non-linear perception
    • Frequency, mutable via communication model
    • Star Trek (2009), branching timeline

    @tomasino maybe The Jacket (2005), it’s sort of a temporal consciousness time travel thing?

    Edit: I’ve had to correct this sentence like 3 times.
