sorry to rain on this parade but . . .

if the category of "jumping in time" includes
        -  jumps of any length of time from a few hours to g'zillions of years
        -  jumps forward and jumps back
        -  jumps in the narration and/or jumps in the diegesis
        -  jumps that are marked by intertitles or jumps that are unmarked [implicit]
        -  jumps that occur once or twice in a film or jumps that characterize the film's whole style
. . . if all of those count as exemplary of the category of "jumping in time" then can anyone
out there name half a dozen films that DON'T jump in time?
