Time travel movies are among my favorite science fiction motifs, although they can be poorly done. There is something about the idea of visiting the past that appeals to many people. It's not so much about misplaced nostalgia as an innate curiosity about what the world was like before us.
Of course, a common plot twist in time travel stories is that someone changes history, and then someone else has to fix the timeline. That gets a bit old after a while, but it does allow writers to explore alternate ideas. I've been watching Disney's Loki and it's interesting to see how they have taken this alternate timeline idea to such extremes.
