Re: OT: the best time loop ?
Not exactrly a time-loop thing, but near enough: Twelve Monkies.
I need to see that film again, and this time I'm gonna try to watch it sober.

Re: OT: the best time loop ?
I got another time travel movie that defies description: Time Cop. Didn't necessarily loop, but he did go back a couple of times to the same point in time, and his house did blow up twice. What I really liked about this movie was that in the end, none of it happened. The bad guy and his younger self both died at the same time, thus causing time to flow in a different manner in which his life went on as it should have. Too bad he had no memory of the happy life.

Re: OT: the best time loop ?
I guess you would have to consider the Terminator series as a Time Loop too.
And I forget the name of the movie, but a moder day Aircraft carrier is sent back in time to just prior to the Sneak attack at Pearl Harbor. That was a good movie as well.

That movie was The Final Countdown. It's coming out on DVD soon, and I've already pre-ordered it. It's almost the perfect movie for me; it has both time travel and Pearl Harbor, 2 of my favorite subjects. Now, if Martin Sheen just wasn't in it..... |

Oh so true! Perhaps we should start a new thread "Good films ruined by bad actors..." |

Re: OT: the best time loop ?
Bill Murray is more or less condemned to repeat the day until he get's everything right. It finally gets where he sort realizes what's going on. Every time he screws up, he knows he's just going to wake up again on Goundhog Day. And you're right, it's a very good movie.
