Even if you've seen it a hundred times, it never gets old.
And it's probably as good as almost anything else you could do.

Since it's that particular month. I'll wait for some memes concerning these grifters.
Groundhog Day is one of my favorite movies. I look forward to watching it every year.
It's strength is in how it shows the power of redemption and personal growth, even for someone as skanky and shallow as Phil.
It's become a 'game' of sorts, in my house, to figure out just how many times Phil wakes up on the same Feb 2nd morning - by watching for the direct and implied times he's died and/or had to do something, either to get it right, or as the groundwork for something else he wanted/needed to do. The diner scene w/Rita where he goes through the folks and tells about them shows he had to have spent weekss (at least) to meet and get to know all of them, and the sequence of events as they unfold.
After watching it a few times, it's astounding how many times he must have spent that day before finally waking up on February 3rd.
Loved Rick Ducommun in everything he did. Even a small scene and it was HIS!
I think the creative tension between Murray and Ramis made this the classic that it is. Without either of them, this movie would have been good, but not one of the best movies ever made.
