Top 6: Movies That Play With Time

Our Top 6 list for Episode 18 is about movies that play with time, excluding actual time-travel movies. Movies have a freedom to play with time in various ways. Most obviously, a movie can mix up the chronology of a narrative, so that events occur out of order. But there are other ways movies can play with time, and we think our Top 6 lists cover the bases pretty well.

What are your own favorites?

As always, we recommend listening to the episode before reading further.
