Primer
The mystery is working out what's going on. The answer is a way cooler outcome than what you thought going in.
The only time travel movie i would describe as "realistic". One of my favorite movies overall.
The best movie about time travel is Back to the Future. The best depiction of time travel in a movie is Primer
Eh. You're allowed to disagree, and I wasn't even born when those movies came out so I didn't really experince it as a cultural moment.But personally I don't find 'em that fun or interesting. I've watched primer at least half a dozen times, but I'll never choose to watch Back again.
It's a very tight script. There's a lot going on, but everything goes together neatly. On the surface it's a simple flick, but if you pay attention there are so many little pieces that slip into place. If you watch it a second time knowing everything, and pay particular attention to the little details and seemingly innocuous dialogue, it's hard to ignore how elegantly the film comes together.
I found an article which goes into it more.
