Anyone else love this silly movie?
I find the whole concept to be insanely intriguing. What would you do if you could get a do-over infinite times until you got one day completely right?? |

I looked up how many days he repeated groundhog day. If I remember correctly, the person who wrote it was thinking something like 10,000 years (not days) or something like that.
A hell of a lot of times... He was a concert Pianist He was a sculptor He spoke French He was a Doctor |

Great movie...love the parts where he just starts off the day by committing suicide (electrocuting himself, jumping off a building, stepping in front of a truck)... Quoted: Loved it! Enjoyed Stargate SG1's take on the concept too.  Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile That was a funny episode |

I have always wanted to start ordering food like I was at a fast food window if a cop ever pulled me over...I don't think I have the balls though.
ETA: "And some flap jacks!" "too early for flap jacks?" and It's the same thing your whole life: "Clean up your room. Stand up straight. Pick up your feet. Take it like a man. Be nice to your sister. Don't mix beer and wine, ever." Oh yeah: "Don't drive on the railroad track." Well, Phil, that's one I happen to agree with. |

from an essay on the movie :
The movie shows us a character who is like the worst in ourselves. He is arrogant and sarcastic, absorbed in his own discomforts, without hope, and cut off from other people. Like us, he finds himself in an inexplicable situation, seemingly a plaything of fate. But, unlike us, he gets the luxury of being stuck in the same day until he gets it right. Whereas most of us go semi-automatically through most of our (very similar) days, he is forced to stop and treat each day like a world onto itself, and decide how to use it. In the end, he undergoes a breakthrough to a more authentic self in which intimacy, creativity and compassion come naturally - a self that was trapped inside him and that could only be freed by trapping him. Like many of the heroes of fiction, he can only escape his exile from himself by being exiled in a situation not of his choosing. In telling this story, the movie hits on a message that is commonly found elsewhere and that appears to express an essential truth. When we get beyond denial and resentment over the conditions of life and death, and accept our situation, it tells us, then life ceases to be a problem and we can become authentic and compassionate. Murray's character makes two such breakthroughs: first he accepts being condemned to being stuck in the same day, then he accepts the fact that everyone else is condemned to die. |
