(Please note: This story contains spoilers of Avengers: Endgame.)

If you’ve watched Avengers: Endgame, you would know that the superheroes build a time machine to go back in time to 3 time periods, so that the Avengers can bring back the Infinity Stones and make their own gauntlet to snap half of all life back into existence.

Time travel plays a crucial element in the Avengers: Endgame plot and if you liked that, here’s a list of 10 other super engaging films that involve time travel.

10. Idiocracy

Idiocracy is a dystopian comedy that released in 2006 featuring Luke Wilson and Maya Rudolph. The film takes you to a future in 2505 where the American society is dumb, morbidly consumerist, extremely lazy, anti-intellectual with no regard for human rights. Doesn’t sound too unrealistic, does it? The dumbed down version of America that main protagonist wakes up in post “hibernation” is more than relevant today.

9. Predestination

Starring Ethan Hawke, Predestination revolves around a temporal agent who as his last assignment is tasked to travel back in time and prevent a bomb attack in New York in 1975. The film is based on Robert Heinlein’s sci-fi short story All You Zombies, and demands repeat viewing for you to catch every minute detail in the plot that fluctuates between different time zones.

8. Looper

Imagine a future where time travel exists illegally and it’s available only to those who can pay up for it. That’s the time Looper is set in and here the mob usually just sends their target into the past, where a hit man known as a looper is waiting to kill him. Things get complicated when one such looper’s future self is sent back in time to be killed. Featuring Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Emily Blunt, Looper is considered one of the most best films revolving around time travel in recent years.

7. Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure

Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure stars Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter as high school buddies (yes, this film released in 1989), who want to save themselves from flunking their history class. So Bill and Ted travel back in time and return with important historical figures to help them complete their history presentation. Imagine Abraham Lincoln, Genghis Khan, Joan of Arc, Billy the Kid, Napoleon, Sigmund Freud, and Socrates in the future. Interesting?

6. 12 Monkeys

A reluctant Bruce Willis is sent back from the year 2035, to stop an unknown and lethal virus that has wiped out 5 billion people in 1996. The virus has been spread by a mysterious army of 12 monkeys. But unfortunately, Willis is mistakenly sent back into 1990 and is locked up in a mental institution. Oops!

Also starring Brad Pitt and Madeline Stowe, 12 Monkeys is a must watch.

5. Edge of Tomorrow

Live. Die. Repeat. When planet Earth is attacked by invincible aliens, Major William Cage is assigned on a suicide mission to beat them. Cage is killed and thrown into a time loop in which he finds himself reliving the same battle and his death, except that he finds himself improving his fighting skills with each loop. Edge of Tomorrow features Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, what more do you need?

4. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

With the Time Turner in Hermoine’s hand, Harry Potter has to escape the deranged killer Sirius Black who has escaped from Azkaban prison and is apparently bent on murdering the boy wizard. Directed by Alfonso Cuaron, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is considered one of the best in the series.

3. Back to the Future

In this most popular of all time travel movies, Marty McFly is sent back to the 1950s by an eccentric scientist, Doc Brown. Now Marty has to make sure that his parents fall in love or he’ll cease to exist in the future. Besides this, he also has to return to save the scientist’s life. Starring Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd, Back to the Future remains a cult classic.

2. The Terminator and Terminator 2

Arnold Schwarzenegger features as a future T-800 Model 101 Terminator, who is sent back to 1984 Los Angeles with orders to kill Sarah Connor, the future mother of Skynet's most fearsome enemy, John Connor. Although Schwarzenegger plays the villain in James Cameron's original, he reprises the role in 1991's sequel as the hero. T1 and T2 are better than Cameron’s other big ‘T’ film -Titanic.

1. Groundhog Day

In this popular cult classic, Bill Murray stars as a self-centred TV weatherman who reluctantly goes to cover the annual Groundhog festivities in a small town. His real predicament begins after his realises that he is reliving the same day over and over again. While his nightmare continues, he finds a way to use the incredible situation to his advantage.
