    For fun, if you are a geek, nerd or techie, then you might also love science fiction movies either for the science fiction or for the spirited discussions that follows because you can debunk most of the science used in the movie, or rather can expand on the technical science used and justify and validate it's use in the movie. Here's a list of twenty time-travel movies. Have you seen them all?

Some make for fantastic entertainment but the time travel makes no scientific or logical sense, while others might err in the opposite direction, sacrificing good storytelling in the interests of technical accuracy. What we really need is a handy guide to help us navigate this increasingly crowded field to ensure we get the best of both worlds, so to speak. The Ars Guide to Time Travel in the Movies is here to help us all make better, more informed decisions when it comes to choosing our time travel movie fare. I've seen all of the movies listed except for Donnie Darko, Hot Tub Machine, and Primer.
