Trying to go real obscure on you. It's a cartoon, but it centers around time travel and isn't the worst movie ever.
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

MRGRAY, you win the prize... This has to be one of the most obscure movies (cartoons) ever made, or at least ever posted here. However, it might be the most thought provoking and challenging one to figure out. It could have multiple meanings, but there is definitely a message about life hidden within it. It goes in many directions, moving from one scene to another without warning or explanation. At times it can be confusing, and you say to yourself, "Huh..?". It keeps you wondering what that meant and why, as it leaps to wherever it wants to go. Those, who watch it, will interpret it differently, and find their own meaning as to what it means to them.
I think that I understand the movie's messages and what they're telling me. However, I won't post what they are out of fear that I might bump my head into some hard object, and leap back in time. Once there, I would find myself back in 1965, sitting in my philosophy and religion freshman college class. The professor would have just turned the movie off, and would say, "Your assignment is to write a ten page essay explaining what this movie means to you." Then as I rode my bicycle back to the dorm I would fall off of it, hit my head on a hard object again, and leap into the future, where I would find that I got a D- on my essay.
MRGRAY, I have to believe that you are an intellectual, who once taught a college philosophy and religion class, or at least took one.
p.s. I must warn anyone, who decides to watch "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time", that it lasts for at least an hour or more. At times (Not many) it might help, if you know how to read kanji. You should also know that any comedy, drama, or adventure you might find while watching it is incidental at best. It's a movie that challenges you to think, and try to figure out the message and meaning of what you have seen.
p.p.s. I don't believe "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" is actually about time travel. I think time travel is only a vehicle it used to tell the tale of its message of life.
p.p.p.s. I Googled several sites that told the movie's story. All of them simply related a synopsis of what they had seen. None of them bothered to think what it meant. I wish that all of those, who wrote those simplistic reviews, would fall off their bicycles, bump their heads on a hard object, get transported back in time to my freshman college philosophy and religion class, and get an F on their ten page essay.
p.p.p.p.s. I thought it only fair, that I post a link to the trailer of this movie (cartoon). Relax, it's only a minute and twenty seconds long:
