You know a movie is special when people describe it as “Groundhog Day” crossed with… something you’d never expect. Here are a handful of films that were inspired by or informed a similar time loop story as the one seen in the Bill Murray rom-com classic.
“12:01” (1993) • The short story on which “12:01” is based actually pre-dates “Groundhog Day” by nearly 20 years. It’s about a man caught reliving the worst day of his life when his wife is shot and killed. After receiving an electrical shock at midnight, he relives the previous day and finds that things get worse.
