6 Best Time Loop Movies of All Time

By Vlad Zakh · March 17, 2026

The time loop is endlessly versatile for existential comedy and high-concept action. Palm Springs has two wedding guests stuck reliving the same day, Edge of Tomorrow has a soldier reliving a brutal battle, and Happy Death Day has a student reliving her own murder. Boss Level, Source Code and Groundhog Day round out the six.
