Default OT: the best time loop ?

I say it is "Groundhog Day". Beats all ST, B5, and other SF nonsense hands down.

Groundhog Day was a Bill Murray movie, where every 'day', he wakes up on Groundhog Day. That's about all I really remember about the movie, I only watched it once around when it came out on video (which was a while ago). IIRC, he hates Groundhog Day, gets some kind of curse to live it over and over, and finally becomes a better person at the end. Or something like that

--edit: I've only seen previews for The Butterfly Effect, but I think that will turn out to be a good one. If I can just take the main character seriously, after he did all those silly movies.

Has anyone seen it? What do you think, if so?

Ya, GHD was good.

If I could do time loop on me, I would go back to 1997 and end the sufforing then and there before it blossomed into the hell that is now my life.

Ah the things I would do over, and get right.

Is it a signal? While I'm checking the forum and reading this post, my little boy is seeing "Back to the Future".
Great movie!

I'm going with Groundhog Day, but I have to make certain that Donnie Darko gets mentioned.

I always liked the time loop in Star Trek: TNG's "Cause and Effect" episode where the Enterprise-D keeps going through the same day that concludes with a deadly collision with a starship from the past that's also stuck in the loop.

The groundhog saw his shadow today so we'll have six more weeks of winter.
