Any of these? From Wikipedia entry on Time Loops
* 12:01 PM and 12:01 - two films (a 1990 short and a 1993 full-length), based upon Richard A. Lupoff's short story of the same name.
* 1408 - A jaded writer is trapped in a hotel room that physically and psychologically torments him, unable to escape. Although the main storyline of the film is not a time loop, this device does appear as one of the many horrors inflicted by the room. At several points in the story, he thinks he has managed to leave the room, only to discover later he has been inside it all along.
* Bless the Child, a 2003 Hong Kong film
* Blind Chance - Krzystof Kieslowski's 1987 film following three different possibilities, all spouting from chance. Precursor to Tykwer's Run Lola Run.
* Donnie Darko - A 16 year old kid is visited by a strange entity from the future who guide him into ending a time loop and thus preventing the destruction of our universe.
* Christmas Every Day - A 13-year-old boy relives Christmas day again and again.
* È già ieri - A man relives a day again and again
* Groundhog Day - A jaded weather man relives the same day, Groundhog Day, over and over, while stuck in a small town due to the weather.
* The Last Day of Summer - A boy relives his last day of summer after being repeatedly hit on head.
* Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas - retells Christmas Every Day with Huey, Dewey, and Louie.
* Mirror for a Hero - a 1987 Russian film. Besides Groundhog Day's idea of living a perfect day it has a bundle of time, person and society related ideas.
* Naked - Creative swedish variation on Groundhog Day where a man wakes up naked in an elevator after his bachelor party, and struggles repeatedly to reach his wedding in time.
* Nirvana - time loop happens to a fictional person in a virtual reality game.
* Pokémon: Giratina and the Sky Warrior - Dialga traps Giratina in a time loop, preventing it from leaving the Reverse World. The time loop is broken when Giratina is brought out of the Reverse World via artificial means.
* Primer - Film deals with a time loop that is described as being like a cul-de-sac with an "A end" and a "B end".
* Il Mare and its Hollywood remake, The Lake House - these two films share time-loop like features: Two characters exist in different time frames, and affect each other's lives. The ending of the film is a causality paradox, which if followed through would cause the timeloop to repeat.
* Triangle (2009) - this film involves a young woman trapped in a loop. There are copies of people and items, seemingly allowing many variations on the loop happening at the same time.
* Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer - The day before Tomobiki High School's student fair is looped repeatedly.
