It's a popular fantasy. See "Replay" by Ken Grimwood. Or all those endless movies where someone gets to do high school over again, like "Peggy Sue Got Married". Or even "Groundhog Day". "A Christmas Carol". "It's a Wonderful Life". And on and on.


Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind another, with its own twist.


Palm Springs came out on Hulu this year and continues in that mold.

I do think certain scenarios like Replay or Groundhog Day accord additional advantages because the relived lives stack up, and one’s knowledge, even mastery, accumulate.


I came here to mention Replay. I’m glad someone beat me to it. Great book, and really made me think a bit more about what’s important.
