Freebie Film Tip #12: 12:01, the Other Groundhog Day

An hourglass.

This is a great time loop movie. 12:01, the 1993 TV version of the award-winning original, has humour and pizzazz, and is available on Youtube. I think you'd enjoy it, without feeling obligated to get all intellectual about it.

I also think it's better than Groundhog Day, much as I like that film. This one's got some extra added sci-fi about it, somehow. The filmmakers did try to sue the Groundhog Day people, but they didn't get anywhere with that. Forget the legal squabbles and enjoy the film.

Absolutely best moment: the final destination of that office chair…
