Whatnerd's 10 Best Movies Told Backwards With Reverse or Nonlinear Narratives

Time travel pops up everywhere in fiction—movies, TV shows, books, comics. Whether it's going back to kill Hitler or forward to an unknown future, sci-fi loves jumping into different time periods. But what about movies where the protagonist isn't the one going back in time, but rather the movie itself?Directors like Christopher Nolan like to manipulate their narratives in various ways, and one of those ways is to play with the story's chronology. By choosing to unfold a story in ways other than linearly straightforward, we get unique cinema experiences that blow our minds. Here are our picks for the best movies that use reverse narratives—to big and small degrees—and tell their stories in unusual ways." - whatnerd.com
