I re-watched Groundhog Day today (a few weeks too late) , which I have seen at least 10 times. This movie stands the test of time and is genius for so many reasons. There is a reason it has a 96% on the tomatometer, even though the tomatometer came into existence many years after the movie was made and I'm not sure who's writing reviews for a movie that is over 20 years old.
Regardless, I love movies in general that have an unexplained phenomenon that the characters must react to, assuming those movies have good dialogue and production value. At this point in time there have been lots of time travel and strange phenomenon movies made; at the time Groundhog Day was made, it was based on a very unique concept. It touches on so many funny ideas, as well as dark and serious ones presented in a humorous way.
Bill Murray was a genius then, and he's still a genius now. Harold Ramis was also a genius.
