Source Code (2011)
Director Doug Jones cemented himself as one of the best new voices in sci-fi thanks to this high-concept thriller. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as a man plugged into a device that allows him to relive the last eight minutes of another person's life. The purpose being to prevent a catastrophic terror attack, lending an extra touch of urgency to the plot.
12 Monkeys (1995)
Terry Gillium's "warts-and-all" approach to time travel is unlike anything we have ever seen before in the genre. Which, in 1995, was an inviting and inspired take as time traveler Cole (Bruce Willis) chases down the Army of the 12 Monkeys in the past before they unleash a hell plague on Earth that infects the future. The film scored Brad Pitt a much-deserved Oscar nom for Best Supporting Actor.
Terminator 2 (1991)
James Cameron pretty much remakes his first film, with a bigger budget, and a deeper exploration of humanity in the eyes of a time-traveling murderbot. The end result is a blockbuster that revolutionized the industry, special effects, and blockbuster filmmaking for decades to come.
Arrival (2016)
Amy Adams will break your heart with her fierce and emotional portrayal of an expert linguist charged with discovering a way to communicate with an alien species whose non-linear means of communication literally cause our hero to fold space-time. The film's strong themes hinged on memory and loss and how the two can become one's present -- no matter how long ago we grieved -- make "Arrival" much deserving of its several Oscar nominations, including one for Best Picture.
