Votes: 114,222 | Gross: $0.42M
The directorial debut of Shane Carruth, who also wrote the screenplay and produced, edited, scored as well as starred in the film, Primer is a pretty divisive film. Some will tell you this one of of the most brilliant time travel films ever made whilst others will have no idea what’s going on and tend to find the whole experience rather boring. But there is no denying that Primer caused a splash, is a unique piece of work and an utterly assured debut by Carruth.
Aaron (Carruth) and Abe (David Sullivan) have boring technology day jobs and spend their nights creating and selling error-checking systems from Aaron’s garage. When they pursue a new project, a device to reduce the weight of objects, Abe discovers an amazing side-effect: the device seems to alter time, allowing an object to be temporarily doubled.

Votes: 304,913 | Gross: $0.07M
Based on the short story All You Zombies by Robert A. Heinlein, Predestination is an Australian science fiction film directed by Michael and Peter Spierig, aka The Spierig Brothers. The two had already made two previous features together, but Predestination marks the point where they really start getting into their own and actually provide a fresh and original take on the time travel genre.
The whole point of the narrative is its intricate web of time travel conundrums. Suffice to say that the film deals with an organisation known as The Temporal Bureau which sends its “temporal agents” through time to prevent crimes before they occur.

New York, 1980: airplanes have replaced cars, numbers have replaced names, pills have replaced food, government-arranged marriages have replaced love, and test tube babies have replaced ...... See full summary »
Director: David Butler | Stars: El Brendel, Maureen O'Sullivan, John Garrick, Marjorie White
Votes: 848
“Come today…soar on wings of fancy to the magic days of tomorrow’s existence…see life, love in 1980—find out what your grandchildren are going to do!” [2]. A man who had been struck by lighting and died in 1930 is revived in 1980 New York City.
In this future, things have drastically changed: airplanes have replaced cars, numbers have replaced names, marriages are arranged by the government, procreation has been changed, pills have replaced food, and there’s a lot of singing. Minus the singing and Wesley Snipes, the basic premise sounds very similar to Demolition Man (1993). It is an unusual film that mixes the musical and sci-fi genres, along with a bunch of corny jokes that must have been relevant for the era.
What really stands out in this film is the set design and special effects, which paved the way for future sci-fi films. The massive art deco style New York city-scape was created by a team consisting of 205 technicians over a five-month period, and cost $168,000 to build

The first of two entries directed by Terry Gilliam found on this list, Time Bandits is one of the director’s earlier directorial efforts in which he still seems to be somewhat caught in his Monty-Python roots. Gilliam also produced and co-wrote the film (with Michael Palin, which might also explain the lingering Pythonesque humour in this feature) and the film features an all-star British cast including Sean Connery, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Ian Holm, Ralph Richardson and David Warner.
Kevin is an eleven-year-old boy living with his dreadfully dull and gadget-addicted parents in England. He seeks his escape in books and seems far more interested in history than anyone else in the household. Then one night, when he’s laying in bed, a knight on horseback storms out of his cupboard and disappears in the woods, which soon also disappear as a stunned Kevin finds himself in his bedroom again.

Chris Marker, a French writer, photographer, documentary film director, multimedia artist and film essayist, only made one fictional narrative in his career in the form of La Jetée, a 28 minute long science fiction film, made up almost entirely of still frames.

The story deals with a post-apocalyptic world, where the only hope for mankind’s survival has become time-travel. Experiments to achieve this are carried out in the catacombs of Paris, where people have taken refuge, but they are to no avail as the the test subjects either die or lose their mind in the process. This is where our nameless protagonist comes in. He has a very strong memory of a particular event in his childhood, when he saw a woman on a pier at Paris airport, and this might be the key to successfully send him back in time.

34. Frankenstein Unbound (1990)
R | 85 min | Drama, Horror, Sci-Fi
The ultimate weapon which was meant to be safe for the mankind produces global side effects including time slides and disappearances.The scientist behind the project and his car are zapped from the year 2031 to 1817's Switzerland.
Director: Roger Corman | Stars: John Hurt, Raul Julia, Nick Brimble, Bridget Fonda
Votes: 4,136 | Gross: $0.33M
Roger Corman’s return to directing in nearly twenty years begs the question, why would a studio finance so much money to a B movie maker? The premise of the story is that a device meant for peace has been created and ends up causing time rifts, sending one of the scientists back to 1817 Switzerland where he runs into Frankenstein. This pretty much sounds like an Abbott and Costello or Three Stooges pairing, but it’s meant to be serious.
The budget was $11,500,000 and it only grossed $334,748 domestically. It has a somewhat impressive cast of John Hurt, Raul Julia, Bridget Fonda, and Jason Patric starring in it. Possibly not quite ready for the time period, it has developed a strong cult following. It is a strange mix of high brow and low brow, with a decent amount of gore.
So if you’re a Frankenstein, Corman, or sci-fi fan than it’s worth giving this one a go.
