If you're stuck in a binging rut and craving that "day-after-day" déjà vu, you aren't alone.
While Groundhog Day set the gold standard for the time-loop genre, there are 9 more movies just like it. Here's where to watch them all online!
Pleasantville (1998)
Pleasantville finds two modern teens sucked into a 1950s black-and-white sitcom where everything is seemingly "perfect" and always repeats in a wholesome, stagnant cycle as though they were programmed on TV.
Just like Groundhog Day, the protagonists act as the "anomaly" that breaks the "cursed" loop and brings life, turning the black-and-white citizens to color.

Bruce Almighty (2003)
Bruce is given God's powers to fix his "terrible" life, and while it's no time-loop cinema, it shows a similar Careful What You Wish For parable where the protagonists must become better people before they "break" out of the cursed "cycle."

13 Going on 30 (2004)
13 Going on 30 is a timeless romcom classic, but it's also important to note that it all happened because a 13-year-old girl wished to be "thirty, flirty, and thriving."
Jenna Rink woke up in her 30-year-old self's body, forced to live her thirties without knowing the consequences that came with it, including the potential romance she had been looking for all along.

Click (2006)
Similar to Bruce Almighty and its Careful What You Wish For element, Click lends Michael (Adam Sandler) a TV-like remote that can fast-forward or "loop" parts of his life, according to how he wishes. But everyone knows just how far control can take them in life.
What happens when the remote can't exactly re-loop the mistake Michael wished to go away? Find out by watching the movie.

Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
Edge of Tomorrow follows a PR officer (Tom Cruise) who has no combat experience but is thrust into an alien war anyway. Every day, he is stuck with the curse of waking up at the beginning of the previous day.
It's essentially Groundhog Day with Guns as he incorporates mechanics of a video game to "level up" his skills through a thousand deaths and time loops to save the world.

Before I Fall (2017)
Can't high school girls catch a break? At least that's what Samantha went through in the time loops in Before I Fall. At the end of every day, she goes to do her routine, only to die in a car crash, one way or another.
Find out how Samantha breaks from the cycle and uncovers how she outwits the time loop before it's too late.
Streaming Platforms: Hulu, Amazon Prime Video
Happy Death Day (2017)
Similar to Before I Fall, a self-absorbed college student gets murdered on her birthday, hence, Happy Death Day, only to wake up that same morning, where she must relive her death until she identifies who her killer is.

Palm Springs (2020)
Nyles (Andy Samberg) has been stuck at a wedding in Palm Springs for so long, he's forgotten his old life. What happens when he accidentally drags Sarah (Cristin Millioti) into the loop with him? The only difference is that at least Nyles and Sarah aren't alone in breaking the cycle.
Streaming Platform: Hulu
The Map of Tiny Perfect Things (2021)
The Map of Tiny Perfect Things might be the most casual treatment of the time loop "curse", as it centers on two teens who chose to make the best out of their endless time loops by finding beauty in the small moments of a shared infinite day.
