I like time-loop movies, groundhog Day being there most notable. My favorite is probably Triangle. I've seen Timecrimes, Happy Death Day (& 2U), Edge of tomorrow,
Obvious choice: Primer
There's also a decent tng episode that has this exact premise.
It seems this is an entire genre though, so Wikipedia does have a list of time loop movies. Maybe check if any of those short descriptions seem to fit your tastes?
Bloody great TNG episode, unsurprising that it was written by the director of the new Cosmos series
The Netflix show Russian Doll might be up your alley
I'll check it out!
Give it a couple of episodes to see if you like it. The first episode spends a lot of time setting things up, but the main character doesn't come across as very likeable at first IMO. Once you get into the next couple of episodes, and she starts actually using her brain to try and understand what's happening to her, she becomes a lot more likeable as a character.
Did you try time-loop games yet? Outer Wilds is fantastic. Majora's Mask, The Forgotten City and The Sexy Brutale are also pretty cool.
No but def something I've thought about
Predestination. If you haven't seen it, you might like it.
One of the best adaptations of a sf short story, period.
I watched HDD and then 2U on a glowing recommendation I knew it was positioned as a horror but damn I didn't know what I was getting into and they're two of the funnest movies I've seen in years. My only regret is not seeing them in the theatre as they come across as movies people would be yelling at the screen which is the best kind of movie IMHO
They are both movies that exceed expectations! I really liked them too!
This is slightly different than a time loop, but check out Coherence.
Watched it. Liked it.
Memento is a time loop of sorts, good movie for sure.
Love Edge of Tomorrow. Wish they would make that sequel.
Itβs almost too obvious which makes me think youβve left it off your list but: Looper fits your niche to a T.
