#not to Mention the sort of amato/heteronormativity that might drive him to try again with alice

So my pet self-indulgent trope is time travel, take from that what you will, and I've recently been pondering what it would mean if Phil relived the 60s. Personally, I think it would be absolute hell, which is of course very compelling. You have a guy who already sees his life as movie, and at various times cast himself as something of a hero, given the foreknowledge of all the events of the 60s. With as many political assassinations that happened, and Phil holding the great-man view of history, he'd drive himself crazy trying to stop everything.
