Cause, effect, and the films that shuffle the deck.
the same event four times; named a whole device
28 minutes of still photographs; the source of *12 Monkeys*
a low-budget chase film that became a mythology
the most perfectly engineered blockbuster script
the sequel that folds into the first film
the western one, and the trilogy's warmest
the loop film every other loop film answers to
the structure that reorganised 90s American film
Gilliam's most controlled film
pure kinetic structure
a father and son across thirty years by ham radio
structure as the whole experience
a total commercial failure that a generation then adopted
a story shattered and reassembled at random
made for about $7,000
critically panned, permanently rewatched
Spanish, 88 minutes, one of the tightest loops ever filmed
a cult puzzle film that rewards a second viewing more than most
a tight, clever loop that respects its own rules
an ambitious failure worth arguing about
original sci-fi that made money
the loop premise turned into a film about ordinary days
one house, five nights, no script, and the best low-budget sci-fi premise of its decade
badly marketed and badly titled; excellent
mixed on release, near-universal affection now
the Heinlein adaptation, and Snook is extraordinary
the loop as slasher comedy, and a big audience found it
the time-loop premise, refreshed
widely disliked; see it as loud as possible
chaos with a heart
