Most solid use of time travel in media (endgame spoilers incl.)

So now that the movie is out the Russo brothers explained how time travel works in the end game universe...

The movie Frequency with Dennis Quaid. LOVE that movie and no time travel actually occurs. A ham radio is used in the past and present day to communicate, when the past is changed, the future ( present day) changes.

Agreed! It's a great movie, and the little changes that occur from minor things (besides the major things, lol) really show how things are being affected.

Anyone play the old SNES game Chrono Trigger? I thought they did a pretty good job at time travel. With the game, if you take an item in the future, then go back in time and and find that same item, now you have 2...not the one disappearing. I like it that way better.

There were two weird movies about time travel I enjoyed .one was called lunopolis or something like that .

These guys find a small shack out in the swamp that leads to a underground base there they find a jet pack/vacuum looking thing which they steal . It gets crazy complicated .

Some details

They use Polaroid instant to document changes in reality .
The time machine only works correctly on the moon ( where it was designed)or in similar gravity , and there is a flying car.

I can't remember the name of the other one but it's from the 70s the government is experimenting with time travel on a group of youths or hippie or something the experiment makes you infertile .
The government shuts it down but the hippies hide in the past or future I can't remember I just remember the end where one of the girls goes back to the present to retrieve something . Skipping around the base hidding from the government goons .

Spoiler

she messes up and returns far into the future and almost gets hit by a car who pulls over and are aliens visiting earth so they put her in the trunk which grinds her up into fuel for their car

And of course Chrono Trigger !

I got a Chrono Trigger decal on my car !

Ok so the title says media so hopefully stuff written on the net is kosher... I think this guy had the best story. I've read up about this for years and really wanted to build his "device" but the story is so thick and I just haven't had the time yet. There is so much on the web about all this, it's a really fun story

I have this weird and obsessed idea. Since everytime you start a new game with the New Game Plus feature, you can get the same item again, over and over....so I thought back in 1995, why not play 99 times and have 99 of every item.
But only borrowing the SNES version, I got to 7 playthroughs and the file got erased one day...so when the horrible slow Playstation version came out in 2001, I started again....I'm not on my 45th playthrough. But at least I can back it up on a few memory cards....which I definitely do.
Obsessed........most would say yes.

Time Lapse was pretty good

Three friends discover a mysterious machine that takes pictures twenty-four hours into the future, and conspire to use it for personal gain, until disturbing and dangerous images begin to develop.
