My husband Eddy and I love this movie. We can watch it over and over again and still laugh.
Just recently, a tv show had the bad guy be Ned Ryerson and we almost peed on ourselves laughing.
Great post.

My husband and I do also. Which is one of the reasons we chose that day (yesterday in fact) to get married

By “used to word with Phil”, do you mean “talk with Phil”? I have never heard this expression before.

You should mention how the movie has been so embraced by so many religions:

Now how to I go about putting this in the upcoming queue thing? I think it deserves a post of its own!

I like the movie more and more each time i see it. I suppose 10,000 years is a bit over much, but I do think that he must have been stuck for at least hundreds of years. Being who he was, selfish & vain, I just assume he played for a long time, screwed with people just because he could, with seeming no consequences. And as he goes through each stage, it takes him so long to process it. The same for trying to kill himself, he must have literally tried every single way to end it, over and over. There had to be a bit of time when he was just driven to insanity. To break a man and make him into a better person.

The whole Ghostbusters team (except for Rick Morranis) has worked together with the new Ghostbusters video game comming out in June. Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd wrote the script. Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson will be doing voice work too for their characters.

Been visiting Neatorama for a while now but I’ve never posted any comments… but…
I was the mascot Woodstock Willie for this year’s Groundhog Days Celebration in Woodstock!
We have a whole weekend of events and celebrations and we have people visit from all over the U.S. (and the world).
I live just down the street from the ‘Cherry Street Inn’.
Have always loved the movie and have always been fascinated with the philosophical/spiritual implications of the movie.

I might be one of the few people in the world that hated this movie, despite the more profound implications involved in it. Either way, the trivia behind it is fascinating. I love Bill Murray regardless.

Years ago, I saw a short film based on this exact premise. It involved a businessman who was stuck in time, much like Phil. The actor was the same guy who played the father on “That 70s Show.” It was more profound that this movie, and really made you think.

While I liked this movie, and lots of things remind me of scenes from it, it’s one that I don’t share with my kids because the final resolution of the groundhog loop is for the main character ending up hopping into bed with his co-worker. That has just never sat well with me. Sure, it’s something that happens all the time, but there are so many other things the producers could have focused on.

I hadn’t seen this movie in many years, so I watched it last night just so I could be in on this post. Thanks for the additional info.

@ Dave: I think you may have slightly missed the point .. Murray’s character doesn’t simply “Hop into bed with his co-worker” as you say, but rather he develops a more sincere appreciation (some would say a “loving” one) of her because of his own personality development through the film and the inference is that once he finally moves forward from the day that the 2 characters will engage in a loving relationship. I think it might be you that’s a little shallow if that’s the only conclusion you drew from the film!

They had to go to IL to find a town with a square? They didn’t look too hard. The NE is full of them. No surprise movies are expensive…. .
