Billed as a Shaun of The Dead for time travel, which means that it all takes place in a pub. I can't quite bring myself to like it that much. The plot's okay, and the paradoxes work well enough, but it seems that the plot is the only joke in it and that's told over and over again.
There are a fair number of films about time travel, but one of the more serious ones is Primer.
Each "copy" of the protagonists tries to make sure no paradoxes occur and repair the ones that do. The film is really confusing and takes some time to understand (and I'm not that sure I do now), but there is a rather good explanation on Wikipedia and one or two graphs around, so it has a cult following.
36 is a French cops-and-robbers movie. Two rival detectives try to take down a hardened gang of armed robbers with devastating consequences for both of them.
A really good cop drama, Daniel Auteuil plays Vrinks, head of the BRI (a sort of Flying Squad). Gérard Depardieu plays Klein, head of the rival BRB, as much an antagonist as the criminals. It ends up a bit like The Count of Monte Cristo, with lots of twists and turns and a surprise ending. Based on a true story.
