^ I don't remember watching it, even if I did when I was an adolescent or kid. Pre-70s cinema... I'm eager to discover it, and already doing that albeit steadily and slowly.
I loved The Time Machine (2002) though. I wouldn't say it is a masterpiece, but the year 2002 is somehow special for me. I realised it in the recent years. Edited by Shadowyzard - October 12 2021 at 07:14 |

I don't think that that Time Machine should be here. I wouldn't think of it as obscure. It's a classic film adapted from a classic novel made by a very famous writer. And when it comes to temporal dynamics, I tend to favour a deterministic view in that what is not here should not be here in a deterministic sense, but then I was bound to say that, just as you are bound to say that it should be here from that linear causal effect perspective.
It reminded me of a related one I love, Time After Time. Not much of a mind-bender, but a fun time-bender, featuring Evil from Time Bandits as another quite evil character. I love David Warner. Edited by Logan - October 12 2021 at 09:59 |

Hi,
The Navigator is the film I voted for. I think I remember an Australian film that also fits, but for the life of me, I cannot remember its name. Originally I thought "The Last Wave" would fit since it is hard to figure out where the images are from and all that, but I'm not sure that it would be a good choice. It's an interesting list, nonetheless, and there are some things that I will be looking for from that list. Time Bandits is fine, but ... I think it was just too satirical than otherwise, and in some ways The Baron Munchhausen would be better since things move all over the place from the earth to the moon to some planet out there and so on, but this could be a stretch and like Monty Python, I thought a lot of their material was about making sure they could "displace" your view and ideas. One shot in The Baron M film that I absolutely love is the one in the theater, and the character turns to his left, and boom ... they are somewhere else. That is a breath-taking shot and really, speaks more for our minds and imaginations than it does something else. But it was neat! (But I admit that the Botticelli thing had me dreaming about Uma for a long time. Been trying to make a bedroom like that in my own place!

I suspected he may have been a Morlock. The resemblance is uncanny.

How could I ever forget to add Russian Ark here? It is one of my absolute favourite movies and perfectly fits here.

It's a phenomenal achievement logistically, one single 88 minute take around the Hermitage... I have most of Sokurov's films. My choice: After Life (Kore-eda, 1998)

From this list I'm only familiar with Project Almanac, so voted accordingly. Others I can think of that are under 100K ratings are Synchronic and The Endless (and Resolution should be watched before this).
Several films on this list are on my "things to buy" list, so in due time I hope to watch more of these, especially Time Bandits, Time Lapse, and The Navigator.

'The Final Countdown', was not a bad movie at all. The only knock I had was it's superficial treatment of the time travel thing. I did enjoy the play on what might happen if they were to alter things in the past. Plus, any Navy vessel where Super Fly is the Commander of the boat can't be all bad.  |

^ Why do I think that was a slightly classier version of The Philadelphia Experiment ~?

Not sure if this complies with the OP but Altered States from 1980 directed by Ken Russell (don't let that put you off) and featuring William Hurt in his screen debut explores the possibilities of sensory deprivation techniques that regress the subject to a devolved state of being e.g. in this case, a prehistoric caveman

Voted Time Bandits.
^ Altered States is just brilliant. I hadn't realized it was William Hurt's first film.

Hi,
Not sure it fits, but I thought of THE TIN DRUM as a sort of story that bent time ... or at least bent one mind!

Freaks (2018) is another movie that I could've had added to the list.

I know it's not a movie, but the series "Dark" is probably ranks as one of the most bent series - mentally and temporally. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_(TV_series)

^ Agree about Dark, it's mind-boggling for sure.
