My favorite one is Back to the Future 2.

Primer and Timecrimes may have the best time travel, but I wouldn't consider them the best movies with time travel in it. I'll put films with more lay back takes on time travel to favor the story like Terminator over it.
Switch Back 9
a lot of my threads involve me fucking up somehow. Perhaps I'm a moron?
Triangle is a really good one.

correct about everything
when you think about it, all movies are time travel movies.

Tie between back to the future and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

Back to the Future
The Butterfly Effect was pretty good especially with the alternate ending where
This ending is doubly dark because they mention that he had an unborn "older" brother who died in the very same manner meaning that he most likely went through a similar situation and decided on the same fate.
the main character travels back in time to when he was in the womb and strangles himself with his umbilical cord.

I didn't know your name was a time travel movie. If that's the case can I assume it's similar to this.

Bill and Ted might not be the best movie with time travel in it, but it has the best use of time travel in any movie I've seen.
The scene with them needing the keys, and decided to just use the time machine at a later point and get the keys and leave them right beside where they are now is brilliant. Having access to a time machine would pretty much solve most issues in a similar way, but unfortunately most movies ignore that (even Bill and Ted does, what with it's odd plot timer).
As far as the best movie, I vote Back to the Future.
I mean,
You can figure it out pretty quickly while watching if you're paying attention, but this kind of a spoiler for anyone going in blind/after watching the trailer.

Terminator
So good.
Altho the BttF movies are among my faves ever, strictly judging from the Time Travel theme, Looper is the best.

Thanks for spoiling Your Name. Fuck you.
Y'all need to stop quoting the image
Time Crimes is basically a much more engaging and user friendly Primer. It suffers from an on the nose English name but is much more watchable than Primer.

Predestination is a good one.
Solid movie. A bit depressing.

First reply nails it. Back to the Future is the king and always will be.
