There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

I thought I had already started a thread on this, but couldn't find it. I did review the movie earlier this year.

I still haven't bought the DVD, it's not streaming on Netflix yet, and Amazon is only selling the HD version, not renting.

But, perusing TV listings this morning I noticed it will be on Syfy, Wednesday July 8, at 9pm Central.

How many time-loop movies are there?

The answer is 129 with Predestination at #3 just behind my favorite: Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

I don't think there has ever been a movie that even half-heartedly tries to follow the real physics of how a time machine works. See Paul J. Nahin, Time Machines – Time Travel in Physics, Metaphysics, and Science Fiction, Second Edition. www.amazon.com/Time-Machines-Physics-Metaphysics-Science/dp/0387985719/

Chapter 7 When General Relativity Made Time Travel to the Past Honest starts with a poem: The moving finger writes; and, having writ, moves on; nor all your pity nor wit shall lure it back to cancel half a line, nor all your tears wash out a word of it.
