The Ars guide to time travel in the movies

Movies about time travel

The nerds at Ars Technica really took the time to make a list of significant movies about time travel, complete with summaries and scores of just how time travel-y each one is…AND I LOVE IT.

• The Time Machine (1960)

• Superman (1978)

• Time After Time (1979)

• The Terminator (1984)

• Back to the Future (1985)

• Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)

Did I immediately go to my own list and start looking for more titles to add to it? YOU BET I DID.

I don’t know if I agree with all the decisions, but this is a great start if you’re looking to get your clocks off.
