<p>For my dissertation. I'm going for a more metaphysical rather than sci-fi genre approach to time travel, hence the inclusion of films like Lost Highway and It's a Wonderful Life.</p>

Movies featuring time-travel, time loops or related themes.
What is included in this list:
* Mechanical travel, past or future
* Time loops, repeat-the-day mechanic
* Cryogenic / suspended-animation one-way trips
* Consciousness/soul transfer through time
* Time anomaly without named mechanism
* Non-linear consciousness / experiencing time wrong
* Predestination loops, closed-time-curve
What is not on this list:
* Pure multiverse, no time element
* Memory manipulation only
* Simulation/VR without time mechanics
* Non-linear narrative with no in-world time mechanic
* Ghost stories where nobody travels
* Pure prophecy / precog without affecting the past
* Counterfactual reality glimpses (Christmas Carol variants)
* Cross-time communication
* Time-flow manipulation without character displacement
There are a few edge cases I decided to include even though not formally fulfilling inclusion parameters they as view like a time-travel or time-looper.

<p><b>Every Cyberpunk Movie ever made</b></p><p><i>Last Updated: 30 apr 2026<br />Something missing? Let me know, so I can add it to the list!</i></p><p>Cyberpunk is a sub-genre of sci-fi. At its core, it's about High Tech, Low Life. Often set in near-future settings where science has developed significant technological advancements, but not necessarily for the better. These technological advancements often lead to a fall in societal morale. The common folk often gets left behind technologically, despite the advancement of society as a whole, because of corporate greed, while the elite relish in their benefits. Causing bigger and bigger wealth inequality, this results in conflict between the have's and have-nots. The worlds of cyberpunk are often ruled by mega-corporations that wield more power and influence than even governments do. With greedy corporate executives ruling the world from tall skyscrapers, overlooking the dirty, grimy streets in which cyberpunk heroes try to put bread on the table by doing dicey jobs often for or against these mega-corporations. </p><p><i>High Value conventions, tropes and cliché's</i></p><p><b>High Tech, Low Life</b><br />The core of the genre is all about High Tech, Low life. In settings where science has developed fantastic inventions, those futuristic technologies often aren't beneficial to society as a whole. These technological advancements often lead to a fall in societal morale. The futuristic technologies are often in contrast with the deprived common folk.</p><p><b>Aesthetics</b><br />Dirty streets, neon lights, noodle shops, giant skyscrapers with kanji and huge digital billboards, and holographic ads. Cyberpunk stories often take place in gigantic megacities, drenched in perpetual night and rain. These cities are often inspired by Japanese city planning. </p><p><b>Cyborgs and Cybernetic enhancements</b><br />Humans have started enhancing their own abilities with cybernetics. Technology has allowed us to increase our strength, swiftness or it can help us jack into cyberspace. Unfortunately, these cybernetic enhancements are often exclusive to the elite of society or are often used to create super-soldiers.</p><p><b>Androids</b><br />Androids are machines, beings, or constructs that resemble humans in almost every way except one, they often lack a sense of empathy. These Androids often blur the line between human and machine, making us wonder what makes somebody human, a question often addressed in cyberpunk media.</p><p><b>Hacking and Hackers</b><br />Hacking and hackers are an essential part of Cyberpunk. Hackers are the rebels of the Cyberpunk world. Hackers often hack into large mega-corporations, to secure vital information that will help them take it down.</p><p><b>Uncontrolled Capitalism and Corporate Greed</b><br />One of the most prominent themes explored in Cyberpunk works is the effects on society if capitalism was left uncontrolled. In a world controlled by mega-corporations, the well-being of people is second to the profit of these companies. These corporations exploit people and every resource available for their own financial gain.</p><p><b>Mega Corps</b><br />The worlds of cyberpunk are ruled with an iron grip, these corporations often control either an essential resource or a vital technology. With them being so immensely large they have complete monopolies and no rivals. Allowing them to do whatever they want and charge people as much as they want. These corporations often show no regard for the well-being and lives of people.</p><p><br /><i>Low Value conventions, tropes and cliché's</i><br /><b>Punk</b><br />The punk in Cyberpunk isn't there for nothing, the punk spirit is an important part of cyberpunk. From punk fashion to actual punk music it's hard to imagine cyberpunk without it.</p><p><b>Globalization of Asian culture</b><br />Asian culture is often predominantly displayed in Cyberpunk media, especially Japanese and Chinese culture. From Japanese city planning inspiring the cities of the future to ramen shops on every block.</p><p><b>Vintage Analog Tech</b><br />Even though cyberpunk stories are set in the future, the tech is often from the past. Most technology in cyberpunk is still analog. Big bulky screens, typewriters, and many more bygone technologies are often featured in Cyberpunk works. </p><p><b>Cyberspace</b><br />A physical representation of the digital world. Cyberpunk movies often have characters jack into some sort of virtual reality, which is often indistinguishable from the real world. Or alternatively, Cyberspace is used as a physical representation of the internet and all the information it contains. Cyberspace is also used for virtual reality games, so in-depth and realistic that people prefer them over the real world. </p><p><b>Ecological disaster</b><br />Cyberpunk stories are often set in a world after an ecological disaster, that's often caused by human advancement in some way. Climate change, pollution, and over-exploitation of natural resources often play a role in this. This leads to the destruction of forests and mass extinction of animals, which are often replaced by robotic copies of themself.</p><p><i>This text was originally written for my <a href="https://letterboxd.com/remedyraccoon/list/cyberpunk-ranked/" rel="nofollow">Cyberpunk Ranked</a> list.
