Groundhog Day (1:42) 1993

A long standing American tradition is the annual celebration of Groundhog Day on February 2. Each year in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania the town residents watch for Phil, the groundhog to come out of his burrow. If Phil sees his shadow, as he did today, there will be six weeks more of winter.  Ten years ago, Bill Murray starred in a movie titled Groundhog Day. Murray is Phil, a TV weatherman sent to Punxsutawney to cover the Groundhog Day festivities, an assignment he dislikes. His crew consists of a producer and cameraman which he treats them poorly. Bill has become bitter, he  believes he should be on national television. The day after Groundhog Day, Phil wakes up and quickly realizes that he is stuck in February 2nd. He repeats the events of the day already knowing the outcome. He goes to bed and wakes up again to find it is Groundhog Day. He tries to break the loop with crazy antics without success. He finally realizes that he has to change his approach and treat people with respect. Will the new Phil make time move on. This is a highly successful and popular comedy which I watch periodically. If you come across it today, take the time to watch and enjoy this movie.
