Definitely The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror V when Homer uses the time machine and goes back to the prehistoric age and swats one bug which alters the course of the time and makes Flanders the ruler of the world. Good stuff.
One that I did not see mentioned that I enjoyed was Star Trek First Contact.

Totally agree about 12 Monkeys - hoped I'd be the first to mention it!

Well, Billie Piper is the main reason why I love the Chris Eccleston season

Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure. Possibly the best single time-travel movie (trilogies don't count) ever made.
And yes, the Back to the Future trilogy makes it four definitive time-travel movies. Plus, being an 80s child, I love the first soundtrack ("Back in Time," "Power of Love," "Time Bomb Town"). . . Y'know, I haven't listened to it in years. I'm gonna go dig it out.
The "Avallon" arc in Gargoyles. Enough temporal crossing and re-crossing to give you whiplash, but it all works out --no paradoxes.
I'm also fond of TimeDancer, a little-known Gargoyles "authorized fanfic" (apparently based on the series creator's notes) spinoff (Brooklyn gets the Phoenix Gate and embarks on a century's worth of adventures, from ancient history to the distant post-Earth future).

You set me straight long ago with a site that explained all to my satisfaction, you still have the address for the newbies, and other interested parties?
Another flick of interest: The Time Travelers (1964).

A weird, fun little movie. Addressed the paradox issue nicely.

I would have to say either Donnie Darko or Army of the 12 monkeys.
You can’t stop the Signal.
Keep spreading the word about Firefly!
