This is such a great movie...looking forward to watching this again! A cool little trivia(?)- if you google 'groundhog day' Google shows "Did you mean: groundhog day" as if you made a typo. But it actually just repeats even after you click, as an ode to the movie.

Nice, can’t wait to watch this 😎

This film reunited Murray with his Ghostbusters co-star Harold Ramis, who co-wrote Ghostbusters as well as playing the brainy Egon, and co-wrote and directed this movie. He also has a cameo as the doctor who gives Phil the CAT scan before Phil sees the unhelpful psychologist. The "I'm Your Weatherman" song you didn't recognize? You've probably never heard it before because it's an original song written for this movie. Ned Ryerson was played by Stephen Tobolowsky, who also appeared in Memento as Sammy Jankis. "Hicks" is a lightly derogatory term for rural people, like a less-mean version of "rednecks." Ramis said that after the movie was released, he would get letters and messages from members of all kinds of religious or spiritual faiths from all over the world, all of them essentially saying, "I can't believe how well you've captured the spirit of [their religion]!" I believe he himself said that "karma" -- which you mentioned early on -- was the real driver for the story.

I've seen this movie so many times, but this was the first time that I think I caught something that explains the ending. When she stayed with him the first time and was waiting for midnight, she stayed and fell asleep. He talked to her and told her how great she was and then said "I don't deserve someone like you. But if I ever could, I swear I would love you the rest of my life." So once he began working on himself to become deserving of her, and she fell in love with him, that broke the spell.

Great movie pick Mary! We see how slowly Phil begins to learn from his trial runs through Feb 2. Ramis in an early draft had him living through 10,000 cycles, and he calculates that in the current version he goes through about 40. During all that time Phil learns to really see himself for the first time, and to see Rita, and to learn that he loves her, and to strive to deserve her love. He astonishingly wants to become a good man. He's a better Phil, not a different Phil.

Mike, I as well and I just learned something new... the kid who fell out of the tree is in the ER with a broken leg the first time Phil tries to save the homeless man.

I was on a real long flight and I found this movie available on the in-flight entertainment and just watched it on repeat for most of that flight. It actually felt like it was a shorter flight a little bit.

This is one of the rare Hollywood comedies that transcends its genre and speaks to some rather profound messages. It’s a masterpiece of Harold Ramis and Bill Murray’s careers. A gem.

Whaddya mean "cycles"? Ya mean days? Phil would have to be in the time loop much longer than 40 days. I recall Ramis saying years, not cycles. In the original script, Phil was stuck for 10,000 years but Harold Ramis decided it was too cruel for the character, so he changed it instead to 30 years. Still cruel though.

I like how this movie references "Somewhere In Time" with the song "Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini", in which the protagonist has only one day instead of thousands of days to fall in love.

Eric

Yeah, his growth is pretty satisfying; it's a pretty wholesome movie (despite parts early on that are a bit... dodgy). I'm not a big fan of how he says that thing about "the first time I saw you" during that speech he gives her, right before the first time she sleeps next to him... most of that is pretty good, but I'd've just erased that part. I'm not a fan of the narrative of essentially saying he fell in love with her when he first saw her, vs you know... getting to know her. Also, yeah, feels kinda cruel for them to dunk on Larry at the end there. What was the point of that?

Sonny Smith

The script states 10,000 years. Ramis I think did say that but it doesn't match up with what we're seeing. by the end of the movie Phil knows every thing about every one in the town and where every one is, every second of the day, not just the people either, he knows breezes, noises and everything else. A person couldn't do that in 30 years.

Good to join you again for this one Mary, because I just got my type 2 diabetes diagnosis, and I could use a distraction. :)
