All Time Worldwide Box Office (2025 archive)
<p>Based on The Numbers’ all-time top 100 films by <a href="https://www.the-numbers.com/box-office-records/worldwide/all-movies/cumulative/all-time" rel="nofollow">worldwide gross</a>, unadjusted for inflation.</p>
Time Travel ( & Related Themes) Movies + Series
Time travel, time loops, time distortion, alternate timelines, parallel universes, multiverse & related themes
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><a href="https://boxd.it/3ZVxm" rel="nofollow"><b>Check out the official top 100 narrative feature films by women directors list</b></a></p><p><b>FAQ (please read before commenting)</b></p><p><b>1) Why is [movie by male director] on here?</b><br />In most cases (Slumdog Millionaire, The Act of Killing, Out 1, Bela Tarr's movies) there's a female co-director who isn't credited everywhere. When it comes to new movies the reason is often that by the time I added the movie they credited as co-director and the credit was later changed to something else. Most of the time it's explained somewhere in the comments but of course it's possible that I accidentally added something that shouldn't be on here.<br /><b>2) Why is everything pink?????</b><br />It's sorted by colour, which you would notice if you spent more than 10 seconds looking at the list before commenting.<br /><b>3) Why is [movie by trans director] on here?</b><br />Trans women are women, if they made movies before they came out as trans women I'm gonna include it.<br /><b>4) What's the point of this list?</b><br />Female directors are still underrepresented in the film industry and this list is a place to highlight their movies no matter how good or bad they might be. If you want to watch more movies directed by women but are overwhelmed by the amount of movies on here I'd recommend you <a href="https://boxd.it/2qIJg" rel="nofollow">this list.</a><br /><b>5) Do you add shorts?</b><br />No. The list is already long enough as it is. Unfortunately that means I can't include a lot of silent films but I have a separate list for them <a href="https://boxd.it/ZL2G" rel="nofollow">over here.</a><br /><b>6) Do you take recommendations?</b><br />Yes!!</p>
