   These movies are quite close in popularity, according to IMDb; they are popular, albeit not extremely.

Both have the concept of time loops; they are very adventurous too.

I'll go with Edge of Tomorrow, which I really loved. Looper was good, but not great IMHO.

What is your take?

	I think both are about equally good and thus voted "both", although on second thought I feel like Edge Of Tomorrow deserves special commendation for being a Western adaptation of a manga which not only manages to not be complete garbage but actually surpasses the source material in quality by a mile.

	Looper for me. I love films that grab me emotionally. Edge Of Tomorrow is slick and enjoyable and very entertaining, basically not that different from most Tom Cruise films, but no surprises.

	Seen both, Looper for sure. I liked that one very much. And I enjoy Bruce Willis way more than Tom Cruise (Cruise creeps me out).
