Yep, you're spot on with Guardian. In the present SW meets ZYL, the man he fell in love with ten thousand years ago. SW treats him in a way that makes ZYL fall in love with SW, too. Then ZYL travels ten thousand years into the past and meets this super adorable younger version of SW, and treats him in a way that makes SW fall in love with ZYL in the first place. What I love most about this is that it's teasered right from episode one onwards, throughout the series, until the time travel finally happens close towards the ending. No, bam, surprise time travel to fill out the plot holes (not that there aren't any plot holes in this show, but that's another thing). *g*
Groundhog Day had an interesting premise, but I didn't like Bill Murray's character much. Apart from being mostly unlikeable, he dithered around without doing anything productive for far too long. The same type of loop works so much better in Edge of Tomorrow, and Tom Cruise's character deals with this situation a lot cleverer. Of course, he has help from the super-awesome Rita, The Angel of Verdun (Emily Blunt), who brings him up to shape.
