*The Signal* (2014), starring Brenton Thwaits, Laurence Fishburne and Olivia Cooke. (Top recommendation) DON'T WATCH THE TRAILERS OR READ THE SYNOPSES AS THAT RUINS THE MOVIES! *Resolution* 2012 and *the Endless* 2017 both by Benson and Moorehead *Oxygen* starring Melanie Laurent was pretty good too. *Upgrade* 2018

If you enjoyed the film, I recommend checking out the original novella it's based on: Robert Heinlein's All You Zombies. In some ways, it's even better than the movie because it's actually even tighter with regard to the time travel.

Another Earth [2011] manages on a very low budget to tell a story that makes you think along with a good character drama. Coherence. Low budget story about parallel worlds pretty much filmed in one single room, but it works. Features Nicholas Brendon from Buffy as an actor who was a supporting player on a cult tv show that has just come to an end.

Great list! Some I now need to track down and rewatch, others I had forgotten to watch at the time and fell off my radar. Primer requires intelligent, educated and thoughtful watching, and is definitely worth the effort. Existenz and Liquid Sky are so boggling I bought both to make sure I could watch them again!

"Time Crimes" was definitely good, but it was frustrating because the only reason it moved forward was because the protagonist *refused* to understand the situation, despite the overwhelming evidence in his face -- to include *him* in his face. He literally didn't recognize himself through a pair of binoculars. Also, "Predestination" is one of the best -- if not *THE best* -- time-travel films. "Primer" would be a contender. You've gotta' watch "Primer" *two times* to get it all.. and that still may not be enough.
