Can't believe noone mentioned Primer
I heard about it but never watched it. Is it good? What is it about?
Its very good. Its a low budget indie film. Its about two unremarkable engineers who work on toy projects in their garage accidentally discovering a type of time travel similar to the movie Looper. The film follows the realization, experimentation and ultimately the downfall of the engineers due to the power of their own discovery.
Primer is famous for being extremely complex and hard to follow. The characters speak in real engineering jargon, and there's constant time travel paradoxes happening in the background which you don't pick up on without multiple viewings.
If you like being intellectually challenged, its great.
Should also be mentioned that the director is a massive POS, which is why I don't promote the movie even though I like it.

Dark
This show absolutely - if for nothing else but the casting that made you actually believe past/present/future characters were the same person.

Dark was absolutely incredible, one of the best pieces of media I've ever seen. Start to finish such a good story.
I feel like I missed a ton of details on my first watchthrough, but still enjoyed it a ton.
I'm curious if anyone has given it a second go, and if it added or removed from the experience?
I have given it a 2nd-3rd-4th go, each time with a new friend who hasn't yet seen it. And, no joke, I still pick up on a TON of details I've missed before. It's just... so good
Not only do I agree, but also recommend looking up supplementary info, like the companion website while rewatching to help connect dots.

The first 2 seasons of Travellers were really good. The 3rd was fine. They had to wrap up the story after getting cancelled and, as usual with that sort of thing, it felt a bit strained and rushed.

Really enjoyed Looper. It leaves just enough to the imagination to be super interesting. that scene with what they do to the man in the past really stuck with me.

Coherence came out in 2013, and the movie is phenomenal. Such an awesome take on the whole time theory.
+1 was another very good one, and more fun than mine bending, but does a great job tackling it.
I'm currently watching Dark, but enjoying it for sure.
Technically not a time travel movie but it has a few elements of it: Interstellar (2014)

It's far from my favourite but since most others have been mentioned I'll give Kung Fury a shout. It's hilarious.

Future Man (2017-2020) is silly and fun, but actually surprisingly smart with its handling of time travel.

Time Bandits (1981) by Terry Gilliam
Such a great movie with an amazing ending.

Samurai Jack. Without a doubt. Everything from the first episode to the last
Terminator 2
The Time Traveler's Wife is an interesting twist on things, including free will. I haven't seen the series version.
Assassin 33 A.D: Black Easter.
It's a Christian time travel movie where terrorists go back in time to murder Jesus before he can be crucified (therefore preventing Christianity from ever existing) and an atheist skeptic scientist has to go back in time to rescue Jesus, and also rescue his own faith.
The movie is crazy and I love it.

Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut, but that's a book.
It's not my favorite ever, but I'm currently watching a weird Canadian, 30 year old-woman-finding-herself comedy drama that is based around a magical therapist who uses time travel in his sessions. It's called Being Erica and it's on Hulu. I can't stop watching it.
Bodies (2023) on Netflix. I found it in my suggestions and thought the premise was intriguing so I decided to give it a watch. I ended up binging the entire season. It won't likely get a second season but it seems the writers planned on it just being a one off.

Dark or 12 monkeys. Bodies didn't start off great but that was also pretty good. Anything time travel has a 10x multiplier for how I judge it though tbh.
