Nick Land's review of Looper

Note sure about definitive, but Forever War is fantastic. It's just the physically possible fast forward time travel though.

All You Zombies is the tightest knot of time loops.

The Book of the War. Faction Paradox is great for time travel.

yeah this is very entertaining, good sci-fi. Stephen Baxter has some good novels that deal with time travel in a 'realistic' way, if you're interested in that. also try this website, it has great serials which touch on time travel, as well as in-depth non fiction delving into the subject, complete with recs.

in terms of films try primer, 12 monkeys and la jetee.

For me, it's YU-NO, The Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of the World but it's not really /lit/

This was my first thought too. Fuck it was such a good plausible rendering of regular use of/coping with time dilation via relativistic space travel.
