Screw it, let's make the most confusing complicated movie and throw "Inception" in the mix.

Edit: grammar

[–] MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@kbin.social 7 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Or Memento or Cloud Atlas.

[–] Eylrid@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Memento plus Groundhog's Day is Groundhog's Day from everyone else's perspective

If youre looking for some real mindfuckery, why not Primer (2004) ?

The Hangover would be great for the same reason.

[–] Bizarroland@kbin.social 13 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

Falling down would be interesting. Unhinged man goes on a 10,000 year rampage across LA until he finally gets his 10am McDonald's breakfast

[–] mwproductions@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

It would be especially interesting to see how his viewpoint changes over the course that time frame.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The Passion of the Christ would be similar. One man has the worst day ever, over and over.

The trailer ends with: "Not agaaaaaain!"

The Room

It would tear everyone apart!

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Hunger Games, maybe a different protagonist but Imagine being brutally killed over and over until they become both a killing machine and a revolutionary leader.

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I think I've read that manga...

[–] ConstipatedWatson@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago (2 children)

That wouldn't happen to be Edge of Tomorrow which then was made into a movie starring Tom Cruise, right?

(Well, there you go, I had to spoil the joke)

Not everything is Edge of Tomorrow

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago

Correct! Sometimes it's All You Need Is Kill

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

Mulholland Drive

Literally the best tom cruise movie

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago
[–] AToM_exe@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

That would be Edge of Tommorow.

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 8 points 9 months ago (2 children)
[–] Lmaydev@programming.dev 3 points 9 months ago

That id 100% watch

[–] discostjohn@programming.dev 3 points 9 months ago

Zombie movie makers are always looking for a fresh new angle. I think you just found one.

What about The Green Mile?

"I'm tired, boss." But it never ends.

[–] Bakachu@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Benjamin Button. Every new day is an age regression event with an increasing handicap. No unlimited tries.

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, and Scotty keeps banging his head on that bulkhead.

The paradox doesn't resolve until Spock realizes he should just let Kirk plummet to his death when he falls from the face of El Capitan at the beginning of the film, as the Trekumverate (Kirk, Spock, Bones) tore open a hole in space-time when they were ripping burbon-baked beans farts while singing Row, Row, Row Your Boat over a campfire, and Spock couldn't get the timing right.

[–] awesomesauce309@midwest.social 5 points 9 months ago

I feel like Jumper or limitless could do something interesting with time loops

[–] leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 9 months ago

Fire Walk With Me, with Bill Murray helping Laura figure it out quicker.

[–] istoff@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Clean Slate. Dana Carvey.

Or Memento.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

Memento was going to be my answer too :)

[–] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Wouldn’t that be Run Lola Run (in that neither the main character nor anyone else is aware of the resetting story line)?

[–] JTheDoc@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Momento and Groundhog Day.

Wakes up every day unable to remember anything, and can't even leave notes.

You could call it "Stuck in the Ground-hog"

Jurassic Park. Disaster movies make great looping movies

How about something like E.T. or Lilo and Stich, ending the loop upon escape. Not sure whether the alien should be the one who remembers the loop or forgets.

[–] SgtAStrawberry@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I think you could make a really fun one with The Matrix. You can stack the Matrixes and have something like Neo flys of in the " end" just yo wake up in the pod aging.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 9 months ago

If you just watch Groundhog's Day backwards, it's like a mash-up with Tenet.
