Cyborg 2087 (1966) starring Michael Rennie of the original Day the Earth Stood Still. It also starred Warren Stevens, Eduard Franz, Karen Steele, Wendell Corey and John Beck. Quite a cast for a low budget, but still entertaining pic for its time (pun not intended).

There's also The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya. However, it assumes you've been following the series. Ideally, it should be watched after having read the first 4 books (of which the fourth is the one the movie is based on).

According to IMDB, there's been at least 5 film/TV versions of this story. Here's a recent one from 2010:

The live action version is better [1].

But you need a region-free DVD player if you want to watch it.
[1] Yes, it has a totally different plot from the anime. That's because they're both sequels to a novel from the 1970s.

There are some good South Korean ones (like Ditto, Il Mare, and My Sassy Girl), and some not-so-good ones (like 2009: Lost Memories).
I also thought Returner was a lot of fun.

I second Mr. Nobody. Just watched it this weekend and it's an intellectual trippy sort of film. Some amazing cinematography and camera tricks. Reminded me of a cross between a Terrence Malick, Kubrick, and Terry Gilliam film except more light-hearted. A little over-long, but if you find string theory, alternate time-lines, and the Big Crunch (look it up) interesting subject matters - then this is the movie for you.

Of course, the last time I saw it was as a kid, so it might not have aged well.

Thanks. I'll be checking out Netflix streaming to see if they have any of these.
Love time travel movies!
Not a movie, but the Doctor Who episode, "Blink", rocked.

The Academy Award nominated short it was based on (12:01 PM) is also great. Kurtwood Smith stars in the story of a repeating hour. That short was in turn based on a short story by Richard Lupoff.

I know this is a 5-month bump (hey, cool, time travel within DVDTalk!) but having just stumbled upon this thread, I wanted to add:
Memento. It's not a time-travel movie, per sé, but since the story is told from a reversed-time perspective, it's almost as if the viewer is the one doing the time travelling. Either way, at least worthy of an honorable mention here IMO.

How about Titanic, since we travel from the modern day back to when the Titanic actually sailed, via the memories of Rose?
Also, William Murdoch was a cyborg assassin from the future, traveling back in time to kill the parent of the leader of the resistance.
