Assassin 33 A.D: Black Easter.
It's a Christian time travel movie where terrorists go back in time to murder Jesus before he can be crucified (therefore preventing Christianity from ever existing) and an atheist skeptic scientist has to go back in time to rescue Jesus, and also rescue his own faith.
The movie is crazy and I love it.

Tv show: Tripped a great watch, low-ish budget but very well done. Starts off as kind of a stoner comedy but gets way deeper, while still being fun. Also it's more of a dimension travel show rather than time travel.
Movie: Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel probably my favourite time travel movie, heaps of fun and the actors & story are great.
Movie: Primer a pretty smart movie, I think the directors (who also starred) were scientists so the story is quite grounded in how time travel would (likely) work out.
Movie: Time Lapse a gripping movie about a camera that can show the future, mostly filmed in one house. A good watch.
Groundhog Day
Tenet. I know it became fashionable to hate it, but it's my favorite Christopher Nolan movie because it's just fun to watch, which is not common with Nolan movies.
I think John David Washington and Robert Pattinson have great chemistry. You need to be comfortable with being clueless about what's happening because the story is told from the limited perspective of the main character. If he doesn't know, the audience doesn't know. When he finds out, you find out. So what the movie seems to be "about" shifts a few times based on his perspective and his assumptions.
Yes, it's clearly just an excuse for Christopher Nolan to indulge in impossible looking practical effects scenes and I love it.
Terminator 2
A novella, so against the rules: This Is How You Lose The Time War
Since it's letters exchanged between adversaries, it'd be rough to translate to visual media.
Project Lazarus...and steins gate has already been said but both are fantastic.
Voyagers. Early 80s with a similar idea to Quantum Leap. I was at a very influential age and absolutely loved this show. It was cut short after the tragic death of the lead actor.
The Time Machine (2002) and the Back to the Future collection.
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time!! It's my favorite anime movie and time travel movie. It wasn't widely released in the US though so the dvd is EXPENSIVE.
Just because It hasn't been mentioned yet: Terra Nova. It's a shame it had to be cancelled because of Spielberg's ego.
Prisoner of Azkaban was for me the only good Harry Potter movie, because I dig time travel movies
While “The Butterfly Effect” was all right, Erased (both the anime and the live action series) really polished the concept and ran with it. It’s very rare for me to have praise for a live-action version of anything anime, but it gives strong S1 Stranger Things vibes while being incredibly different.
Time Machine, the 1960 one with Rod Taylor. I love that machine!
Goodnight Sweetheart is just the best.
Somewhere in Time, which someone already mentioned. I wish I liked it more, but it gets credit because the Jack Finney book Time and Again, which it is very loosely inspired by, is one of the best time travel stories ever.
And Continuum. Not because it's the greatest, but no one had mentioned it yet, and this thread could be a great reference for anyone in the future. No pun intended.
I'll tell you yesterday
Wanna guess what my favourite time travel show is?
it isn't time travel, but Counterpart is a very similar trip.. incredible cast and story..
