Every Time Travel Movie Ever, Ranked

io9 lists Every Time Travel Movie Ever, Ranked

"With the release of yet another time travel movie this week (Project Almanac), it's time for us to look back at the great time travel movies of our past. Here are all the major time travel movies ever, ranked. Here are the rules: No animation. No short films. And no movies that where someone is frozen (or something) and then they wake up in the future (so Mel Gibson's Forever Young, Encino Man are OUT)."

Normally I'd just read this and nod and humf at some. But they criminally ranked Timecrimes way too low so I had to take a crack at it:

These are good movies worth seeing roughly in order favorite to least

1. Back To The Future (1985)
2. Groundhog Day (1993)
3. Primer (2004)
4. Back To The Future 2 (1989)
5. Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)
6. Timecrimes (2007)
7. 12 Monkeys (1995)
8. Donnie Darko (2001)
9. Terminator (1984)
10. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989)
11. Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
12. Looper (2012)
13. Interstellar (2014)
14. X-Men Days of Future's Past (2014)
15. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)
16. Hot Tub Time Machine (2010)

These are fine, worth catching on cable or renting:

• Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971)
• Time Bandits (1981)
• Midnight In Paris (2011)
• Army of Darkness (1993)
• Safety Not Guaranteed (2012)

• Men In Black 3 (2012)
• Brigadoon (1954) - this musical really doesn't fit on this list
