I have ALWAYS loved stories that capture TIME.

Groundhog Day
Window of Opportunity (Stargate SG-1) - groundhog day homage
The Inner Light (Star Trek: The Next Generation) - Pikard lives a lifetime in a moment
The Fountain - by Darren Aronofsky, starring Hugh Jackman
Marooned in Realtime - by Vernor Vinge - one of my all time favorite books
The Time Machine (all of them)
THE MAGICIANS | Season 3, Episode 5: Timing Is Everything | SYFY
first 8 minutes of UP!

There is something special ... showing the passage of a huge amount of time when you only have a small window to depict it ....
