Weekly Poll Results: Best Time Travel Movie
Alright so maybe last week’s poll was a pretty obvious one, but still, I thought Terminator 2 would have given Back to the Future a run for its money. As it turns out, the battle of the time travel movies was no contest: Back to the Future snagged nearly half of the votes. 12 Monkeys was a distant second, followed by T2 and Primer. I must admit, the omission of Donnie Darko was a big oversight on my part, and I’m guessing it would have at least been in the top 5 as well. Any thoughts on the results? Did we miss any other lesser known time travel flicks?
1. Back to the Future — 45%
2. 12 Monkeys — 15.6%
3. Terminator 2: Judgment Day — 11.8%
4. Primer — 11.4%
5. The Butterfly Effect — 4.3%
5. Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure — 4.3%
7. Timecrimes — 1.9%
7. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban — 1.9%
7. The Time Machine (1960) — 1.9%
10. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home — 1.4%

Posted by Sean on March 18th, 2009It bears repeating, everyone should check out Chris Marker’s La Jetée.

Time Bandits is way better than a good portion of the movies in your poll.

Posted by Jeff on March 18th, 2009I’ve never seen Time Bandits, but I’ll take your word for it. I also would have tried to fit in Timecop if I could have.

Posted by paulie on March 18th, 2009I’ve seen this trilogy 30 times or so. It’s permanently in my memory.
Posted by chris on March 18th, 2009This is truly my favorite movie ever. Period. I LOOVE Time Travel movies. I live off them. And yes, Time Bandits was a good movie. The fact that it’s from Spain is a plus on my scale.
Posted by ShenEvil44 on March 18th, 2009Late on the reply, but everyone should check out a Japanese flick called Summer Time Machine Blues. It’s hilarious and the time-travel bit is handled quite well.
Posted by Chris on March 25th, 2009“Somewhere in Time” (1980) with Christopher Reeves and Jane Seymour should definitely be up there. Yes, it is a slow, romanatic chick flick but VERY much a great time travel movie- good music too!
