I watched 135 time loop movies.

Comments are completely subjective, and based on what I enjoyed, which is often weird and obscure stuff. If you want a tl;dr I made some tier list infographics as well.

Mostly these are "Groundhog Day" type loops. Or, more generally, movies where the same scenarios get replayed multiple times for various reasons (usually technological, supernatural, or psychological). This is pretty much every movie of this type I could get a hold of.

Text list, sorted by year, with low-spoiler review blurbs:

• The Little Girl Who Conquered Time (1983) (JAPANESE) Romance
  • The second (of like 5) adaptation of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (1967). A cute little sci-fi romance.
• Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer (1984) (JAPANESE) Comedy
  • The second Urusei Yatsura movie. Directed by Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell). This is really trippy, and highly recommended.
• Mirror for a Hero (1987) (RUSSIAN) Drama
  • Soviet era time travel movie. Sort of an allegorical examination of generational relations and consequences of the era. Or something. If you like late stage Soviet cinema give it a watch.
• 12:01 (1993) Comedy/Drama/Romance
  • Moderately entertaining loose adaptation of 12:01 P.M. (1973) starring Jonathan Silverman.
• Groundhog Day (1993) Comedy
  • You know it, you love it.
• Christmas Every Day (1996) Comedy
  • The first of a dozen Christmas themed time loop movies. Vaguely based on the 1892 short story. Main character is a moody teen. Rather bad.
• Retroactive (1997) Action
  • Moderately entertaining. Jim Belushi plays a zero dimensional violent caricature, but the story is elevated with time travel shenanigans.

  • Fun little crime/romance looper with a lot of details to pick up on subsequent rewatches.
• Naken (2000) (SWEDISH) Comedy
  • Barely tolerable boner comedy.
• A Christmas Carol (2000) Drama
  • The best of the Christmas time loop movies. A contemporary retelling of A Christmas Carol, but with the day repeating.
• Stork Day (2004) (ITALIAN) Comedy
  • Tribute/remake of Groundhog Day. Character driven, and somewhat entertaining.
• If Only (2004) Romance
  • Highly rated, but completely forgettable.

• Camp Slaughter aka Camp Daze (2005) Comedy/Horror
  • Some friends on a road trip in 2005 get stuck in a 1980s slasher movie on repeat. Amusing.
• The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006) (JAPANESE) Adventure
  • Anime adaptation of 1967 novel, by Mamoru Hosoda (Summer Wars, The Boy and the Beast). Highly acclaimed.
• Salvage (2006) Horror
  • Moderately competent psychological thriller about a young woman being repeatedly murdered.
• Christmas Do-Over (2006) Comedy
  • Personality-driven comedy starring Jay Mohr. Skippable.

  • Extremely low rated, obscure, micro budget movie. Tolerable.
• And Then Came Lola (2009) Romance
  • Tolerable lesbian romcom.
• Triangle (2009) Horror
  • Really good situational horror with some unexpected twists.
• Time Traveller: The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2010) (JAPANESE) Adventure
  • Another adaptation of the 1967 novel. This one is also pretty good.
• Repeaters (2010) Action
  • A bit unusual in that multiple people remember the loop. Moderately entertaining.
• The Road (2011) (FILIPINO) Horror
  • Another one hard to classify. Not very good.
• Wake Up and Die aka Volver a Morir (2011) (SPANISH) Horror
  • Really obscure, lots of nudity, some gore, very psychological. Worth a watch if you can find it.
• Source Code (2011) Action
  • Rather good action/thriller, with Jake Gyllenhaal.
• 12 Dates of Christmas (2011) Romance
  • Highly rated, if you like Lifetime/Hallmark/ABC Family romcoms. Otherwise skip.
• Plan de table aka Perfect Matches (2012) (FRENCH) Romance
  • More of a "What If" than a time loop, exploring possible iterations of a randomized event. So-so.

  • Similar to Triangle above, but a bit slow to get anywhere.
• I am a Ghost (2012) Horror
  • Psychological intimate character study. So-so.

  • This is one of my very favorite space/time loop movies. Just watch it.

  • Ridiculous but fun Bollywood fantasy/action/comedy time loop movie.
• Edge of Tomorrow (2014) Action
  • Yeah, it's pretty great.
• Premature (2014) Comedy
  • The bonerest of boner comedy time loops. The protagonist resets the day whenever they prematurely ejaculate. Nuff said.
• Cruel & Unusual (2014) Thriller
  • This is yet another "they are already dead and trapped in hell" time loop movies, but it isn't really a spoiler for this one, as it is the initial premise. Tolerable psychological thriller.
• The Infinite Man (2014) Comedy
  • Psychological comedy. Feels like a short film premise padded out to feature length. So-so.
• Blood Punch (2014) Thriller
  • This one has some unique time loop mechanics, such as who retains the memories the next day. Slasher/horror. Pretty good.
• The Final Girls (2015) Comedy

I also watched a LOT of movies that didn't quite fit the theme, while searching for time loops. Some soft exclusion criteria (with more leeway for more obscure titles):

• Movies where the plot/action/scenario just restarts at the end once, like Open Graves (2009), Baskin (2015), or Nightmare City (1980).
• The characters travel back at the end and become the instigators of the initial plot, like Devil's Pass (2013) or The House by the Cemetery (1981).
• Mainstream movies with minimal or nonrepetitive looping, like Doctor Strange (2016), Next (2007), Butterfly Effect franchise, Terminator franchise.
• Weird other time travel movies like Premonition (2007), Tenet (2020), Looper (2012), Predestination (2014), Twelve Monkeys (1995), Detention (2011), Synchronic (2019).
• TV shows with one time loop episode. It happens a lot.
• TV Shows that are all time loops, like Hounded (2010), Looped (2015), Russian Doll (2019), Topi (2021), Day Break (2006), Reset (2022), The Lazarus Project (2022), No Through Road (2009), Worst Year of My Life, Again! (2014)
• Short films. I watched 60+ of these too, they might be on a different list.
