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

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!"

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
Correct! Sometimes it's All You Need Is Kill
Independence Day
So Edge of Tomorrow?
That would be Edge of Tommorow.
Mulholland Drive
Heathers
Primer
GOOD LORT.
What about The Green Mile?
"I'm tired, boss." But it never ends.
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.
Clean Slate. Dana Carvey.
Or Memento.
Wouldn’t that be Run Lola Run (in that neither the main character nor anyone else is aware of the resetting story line)?
Memento was going to be my answer too :)
Fire Walk With Me, with Bill Murray helping Laura figure it out quicker.
I feel like Jumper or limitless could do something interesting with time loops
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"
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.
Broke back mountain
Isn't that basically 50 first dates?
They just keep forgetting and realizing they're gay, over and over?
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.
Teen coming of age comedy. Nerd kid wants to be popular but can't ever seem to get his friends to be popular too.
