What movie combined with Groundhog Day would make the most interesting mashup?

66 comments

Screw it, let's make the most confusing complicated movie and throw "Inception" in the mix.
Edit: grammar
- Or Memento or Cloud Atlas.
  
  Memento plus Groundhog's Day is Groundhog's Day from everyone else's perspective
  
  There's also Mr. Nobody if you liked Cloud Atlas.
- If youre looking for some real mindfuckery, why not Primer (2004) ?
The Day After Tomorrow
- I hate when people comment "lol" but lol
  
  just stop hating when people comment "lol"
Dude, Where's My Car
- The Hangover would be great for the same reason.
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
- It would be especially interesting to see how his viewpoint changes over the course that time frame.
- The Passion of the Christ would be similar. One man has the worst day ever, over and over.
  The trailer ends with: "Not agaaaaaain!"
  
  Jesus Re:Zero, although I would probably prefer to watch KonoJesus: the Son of Gods blessing on this wonderful world
The Room
It would tear everyone apart!
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.
- I think I've read that manga...
  
  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
Independence Day
- So Edge of Tomorrow?
  
  That's the joke :)
- That would be Edge of Tommorow.
Heathers
Mulholland Drive
What about The Green Mile?
"I'm tired, boss." But it never ends.
28 Days Later
- That id 100% watch
- Zombie movie makers are always looking for a fresh new angle. I think you just found one.
Benjamin Button. Every new day is an age regression event with an increasing handicap. No unlimited tries.
Primer
- GOOD LORT.
Edge of Tomorrow
- Recursion!
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.
I feel like Jumper or limitless could do something interesting with time loops
Clean Slate. Dana Carvey.
Or Memento.
- Memento was going to be my answer too :)
- Wouldn’t that be Run Lola Run (in that neither the main character nor anyone else is aware of the resetting story line)?
Fire Walk With Me, with Bill Murray helping Laura figure it out quicker.
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"
Highlander
- I subscribe to the Aqua Teen Hunger Force theory that the Highlander is a Documentary and the events take place in Real Time.
The Shining.
Looper.
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.
Jurassic Park. Disaster movies make great looping movies
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.
Primer
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Donnie Darko
Ex Machina
Alien would be neat
- So, Returnal?
Teen coming of age comedy. Nerd kid wants to be popular but can't ever seem to get his friends to be popular too.
Kill Bill
- Isn't that basically the idea of the Deathloop videogame? Protagonist has 24 hours to assassinate a bunch of other assassins or mercs who are also caught in a timeloop.
If you just watch Groundhog's Day backwards, it's like a mash-up with Tenet.
Die Hard
Click. That Adam Sandler movie about the remote which controls time. If both movies play out like they did separately, the amalgamation would stall out half way through and never recover.
Broke back mountain
- They just keep forgetting and realizing they're gay, over and over?
- Isn't that basically 50 first dates?
The pianist
