What would you do if you had to repeat the same day over and over again?

My favorite fact about this movie is that Harold Ramis, the director (also cameod as the doctor), knew Bill Murray well enough to know he gets burned out as production goes on, so it was actually filmed in reverse, with his happiest scenes first, and his more douchey scenes from the first part of the movie we filmed last.

In the most honest but least dramatic way, this movie saved my life. I've suffered with depression since I was 15 and experienced many times where I've wanted to end my life because it felt like there was absolutely no point in living. I couldn't get any enjoyment from my hobbies anymore and even getting out of bed was a chore. But watching this film over a year ago for the first time ended up completely changing the way I saw my life. What Bill Murray's character did to end up breaking the repetitive cycle, I ended up applying to my own life. I learned piano, learned new languages, made short films, wrote poetry, went to therapy, started helping people and being as productive as possible. Because today will only come once. And there's only so much life that you can get out of one day. But now, I literally live every day to the fullest instead of living it like a Groundhog Day

Phil made the effort to put bread into his suicide toaster. That's what makes it art. Best. Leo.

My wife grew up in the Soviet Union so only has knowledge of movies of that era that are known globally. She absolutely loves Groundhog Day and it's by far her favorite movie.

"I know this is a lighthearted movie..." **Cue Bill Murray suicide montage**

I loved when you said, "Make the best of it, Phil!" That's exactly what he ended up doing. In the end, he tried to do all the right things, even knowing it would all vanish the next day, and nobody would know what he did. That's what finally broke the curse.

The doctor who checked him for tumors is played by Harold Ramis. He wrote and directed the movie, and he also plays Egon in Ghostbusters.

This was filmed where I was born and where my grandma lived so it’s a super weird movie to watch but still one of my favorites. He kills himself jumping from the opera house in the The town square and the place where he stepped in the puddle now has a plaque that says “bill Murray stepped here”

An interesting fact Buster the mayor of Punxsutawney is Brian Doyle-Murray who is Bill Murray's real life brother

"I have a feeling this video is going to be just me grinning the whole time..." Absolutely nothing wrong with that. We need more flicks like that. The medium has plenty of room for everything. - Really enjoyed this vid of yours. Thanks.

Years phill spent in Groundhog day: Well a film blog has worked it out for you: 33 years and 350 days. These included the 38 “Days shown on screen”, the 414 “Days mentioned” (including the “six months. Four to five hours a day” spent throwing playing cards into a hat), and the colossal 11,931 “Days spent learning”. Based off the theory that it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert at anything, this third stage covered the time needed for Phil to learn French poetry, ice sculpting and the piano.

Fun fact: it’s estimated that Phil had to repeat the day for 10-40 years before he got it right.

There are different theories about how long he was there. The smallest estimate is 10 years, but there are others ranging from 100 to 10,000 years (I can't remember who had the 10,000 estimate, but I do remember he was an important guy for the film and that's why I remembered it lol)

The man speaking during the Groundhog and Man Auction Ceremonies is Bill Murry's big brother , Brian Doyle-Murry... a great comedic character actor.

If you haven’t seen The Princess Bride you would like that one.

Best line: "Well, it's Groundhog Day...again."

I am currently snowed in on Groundhog Day. Perfect movie to watch!

Fun fact: For Phil to have learned everything he learned, and gotten to such a "pro" level in them all, it is estimated he was trapped for... 12,395 days. That' s a few days short of 34 years. Living the same day. Over and over. :)

Me and my wife have watched this movie every year at Groundhog Day for over 25 years.

You are just the sweetest lady. Your husband is a very lucky guy! I just discovered your channel and I'm binge watching your videos. I'm a cinemaphile and I love seeing someone react in real time to all the great movies I've seen a hundred times and love. During the pandemic, I've been introducing my 15 year old daughter to all my favorite movies and she's loving almost all of them. It's a great feeling! And thanks for mentioning About Time. I love that very underrated film.

There are movie theatres that play it, every year, on loop all day long. This is how I know there are people like me out there :)

There's nothing better than "smiling like an idiot". Never apologize for that

Just pulled this up and you had just gotten 1000 followers at this point. Congrats for your accomplishments!!

You should react to Lost in Translation! A great Bill Murray movie with a young Scarlett Johansson. Two travelers in Tokyo find that they’re the people each other need at this particular moment in their lives.

So fun to see your mind working so hard to solve the puzzle of this movie 😂😂😂 But you figured it out - the escape door from Ground Hog Day lay in Phil's heart and when he found it you were right there too. That's why I love this movie - its so true to the human experience. The chance to live differently is available each day to us too - if we can get just out of our own myopic loop

A timeless movie on every levels.

The jeopardy scene. When I was in high-school my parents had a satellite dish and we'd get the jeopardy feed. We had a guy that worked for us we'd watch jeopardy over the noon hour that was a day ahead. He'd go to the bar after work, they always watched jeopardy. They thought he was a genius lol.

One of my all time favorites. Very funny with a great underlying message.

It has been theorized that he was in that Loop for 30 to 40 years. That explains why he became so good at so many thinks.

I’m not really a rom-com guy, but I grew up with two older sisters so there were compromise movies we’d watch. The two that I still love to this day are “Innerspace” with Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid (who ended up falling in love during the making and getting married), and “Her Alibi” Paulina Porizkova and Tom Selleck. Very entertaining and fun movies to watch.

Classic 90s comedy - 'Trains, Planes and Automobiles'

That surprised look on your face when you saw the girl was still there in the bed was so sweet and they lived happily ever after.Loved your reaction to this great movie.You have such a soft heart,well done.

I've been obsessed with watching people's first time watching videos. They're so fun, can't wait to see your other reactions.

OMG, this movie is one of my favorite. I can't believe i am this old now, I remember watching it when it came out!

Who couldn't love this movie? Hard to believe you only had a few thousand subscribers here!

"This is one time where television really fails to capture the true excitement of a large squirrel predicting the weather."

My absolute favorite part is when the piano teacher kicks the little girl out because Phil gave her a wad of cash.

I really like this movie. I also liked your reaction to it. It's amazing how you figured out Phil's plan right off the bat. You are pretty good when it comes to that.

Just came across this review today. You are celebrating your 1100 that subscriber now you're sitting in 375 k Nice work. Stay humble and kind.

Fun Fact: The doctor he goes to see is Harold Ramis aka Egon. Also, Bill Murry did a Jeep commercial for the new Jeep Gladiator for the 2020 Super Bowl that was set in Groundhogs Day that Murry and his brother ( who played the Mayor ) wrote the commercial and got some of the other actors to play in it.

You had me smiling the whole time too!! Love this movie, loved your reaction. Now you've gotta watch Scrooged, you can wait for Christmas season if you want, it's my second favorite Bill Murray led movie after this one. Other great Bill Murray movies: Stripes, Ghostbusters and Caddyshack.

You have a great laugh, and yes Andie's hair is amazing!

I'll always love this movie, and not just because I love it (which I do), but because of how much my Dad loved it. Fond memories I'll always cherish; when I watch this movie I can't help but remember my Dad.

Don’t apologize for smiling. Sometimes we just need to smile a lot and that’s OK. And you smiling makes other people smile!

I've seen a lot of people watching this movie, and that makes me happy! I hadn't seen this until a few years ago, and I absolutely loved it! It's just fun! I'm glad you enjoyed it, too!

It's was great seeing you so happy when he broke from the loop... I've always wondered if Phil even remembers the life he had in Pittsburgh before the loop started. From his point of view, it's been years or maybe decades since he's been home. Punxsutawney is like his home now so he'd probably be more comfortable living there than returning to Pittsburgh.

What a year 1993 was, this and Falling Down already made it unforgettable.

"Phil does not seem like a happy man. And if he gets stuck here, he's gonna be very unhappy." Right you are, Cassie!

If you loved this you SO need to watch AMELIE! It’s different, but such a beautiful movie with the same type of magical storyline.

The guy that wrote the original script said he was stuck in that time loop for 100,000 years but the director Harold Ramis said it's more like 10 years lol

The old guy who announces the groundhog prediction is Brian Doyle Murray, brother of Bill Murray.

I like action and sci fi films, but also like a well written and acted film. Groundhog day is one of those perfect film in its own right.

I say let the smiling continue 😊. Movies that will probably make you smile: As Good as It Gets (1997) Lost in Translation (2003) Up in the Air (2009) Sideways (2004) Big (1988) St. Vincent (2014) Little Miss Sunshine (2006) The Nice Guys (2016) The Terminal (2004)

*(Coming to America)* starring *Eddie Murphy* is considered a Romantic Comedy

Im going back to your first reactions..your laughing and smiling always make my day happier

It's amazing that this film gave us the phrase "Ground Hog Day" as a repetitive cycle in a person's life.

Great reaction to a fun movie. I just found your channel today and subscribed, so looking forward to some lovely reactions. You will probably see a lot of recommendations for Princess Bride and When Harry Met Sally, which I would agree with if you haven't seen them. They are classic RomComs that have stood the test of time.

If you haven’t seen the Back To The Future trilogy, you really need to. You’ll love it.

Fun Cameos in this movie. Brian Murray played Mayor Buster in the movie is Bill Murray Brother. And Harold Raimis who played Egon Spengler in Ghostbusters plays the Doctor who cant seem to see or Diagnose Phil in this movie

This is my birthday movie. I was born on February 2nd, and have watched this film on my birthday every year since this came out. I'm glad you love it, too!

Great reaction. Also, I loved Palm Springs.

I know it’s not Christmas, but Scrooged is one of Bill Murray’s best.

Bare in mind that he's meant to have been in repeating this day for decades *at least.* They never really explained how long he was in the loop for. Harold Ramis at first said it could be thousands of years, but then later said it was probably more like a few decades or so.. Someone online worked out that it has to have been at least 34 years.

There's a TV show with the same idea, living the same day over and over. Day Break, with Taye Diggs (from Way Of The Gun), Adam Baldwin (Jayne from Firefly, and Animal Mother from Full Metal Jacket), and Jonathan Banks (Mike from Breaking Bad). I think they only made one season, like ten episodes or so. But it is so great! Taye is repeating the same day, and there is so much going on, and there are so many people he needs to help.

The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou is also with Bill Murray :) well, so as any other Wes Anderson movie...

"Id love to go to Pittsburgh" No. You don't.

He could have been caught in the loop for up to 31.4 years by some calculations. He did become a doctor, fluent in many languages, an artist, expert at throwing cards and so much more.

Groundhog Day is lifechanging! Glad you saw it.

I have an early 90's movie for you that is a forgotten gem. Do a reaction to "The Fisher King" (1991) starring Robin Williams and Jeff Bridges. You'll love it.

love going back to the start of your journey with subs. it's great to see how far you've come along. enjoy all of your videos!!!

The director said it was over ten years. Some people tried to figure out scientifically and came to over 33 years.

I love your reactions, watched them all so far. Have you ever watched Field of Dreams? It might be worth considering.

Notting Hill is a good one if you haven't seen it.

This movie is intended as a metaphor for life. How many years did Phil spend re-living the same day before he figured out what life is really about? How many years do you or I spend before WE figure out what life is all about? Each of us has to learn to be unselfish, try new things, learn new skills, be kinder, help people, and love people for their good instead of ours. Just like Phil. The sooner we do that, the sooner we get out of our monotonous existence.

Another Fun Fact...which you might have learned by now, the gentleman in the top hat and the red vest, reading the official Scrolls when they take out the Groundhog...his name is BUSTER...is played by Bill's brother Brian. He's in most of Bill's movies which is pretty cool. Also, Harold Ramis, the Dr. he went to see about his head, was the Director and producer of the movie; and, of course, plays Igon in the Ghostbuster flms.

Great reaction!... check out "What About Bob?", another Bill Murray classic...

It was such a joy to see your reaction to this classic! Have you ever heard of a movie called 'Synecdoche, New York'? It's my favourite movie of all time, and it's darkly hilarious and deeply moving, and it would mean the absolute world to me if you'd watch it. I guarantee you've never seen anything quite like it before.

I have been watching this movie every Feb 2nd since 1998. I love this movie! It was a pleasure watching you watch it for the 1st time.

"Haaa, What a waste of time." Best line of the whole movie.

Would love to see you react to "American Beauty". Great film. Up there with Shawshank.

I used to watch Ground Hog day every day for weeks and have to rewind the VHS tape. I was trying to count how long he was there. At least six months but maybe a year. Harold Ramis, the Neurologist doctor was his costar in GhostBusters.

I've been binging your videos all morning and have yet to see either popcorn or a bed.

"Let's live here" Seems like the director was drunk when he chose that ending.

Grumpy meteorologist Phil lives the same day over and over after he arrives in the town of Punxsutawney for the annual Groundhog Day festivities.

Watching this in 2023... fun to hear her get excited about reaching 1K subs as I look at the sub counter that now says 278K.

It's Feb 2nd, 2022 now and I've come back to watch your older posts again. You said in this video that you have just over 1,100 followers and now you have 171,000+. It's been quite a journey with you so far. Thanks for the entertainment.

Back when 1000 subscribers was a big deal for this channel. Kind of adorable, and makes me wish I had been there at the beginning!

Sometimes, I think I could need my own Groundhog Day. It's one of the best feel good movies I can watch and enjoy over and over.

I lived in Illinois where this movie was filmed. I worked on the tv show Prison Break in 2015. The Groundhog Day where they bring the groundhog out was filmed in Woodstock Illinois. When an episode of Prison Break was filmed Patricia Wettig was filming for a campaign for the show. When I get to the area I’m like it’s Groudhog Day because I knew the movie was filmed in Illinois. Also the snow storm scene was filmed in Waukegan Illinois. Bill Murray brother Brian Doyle Murray is Bill Murray’s brother. He plays Buster who pulls the Groundhog out of the box. Brian is also in Vacation and Christmas Vacation. In Vacation Brian is the actor that spits the watermelon seeds and in Christmas Vacation he is Chevy Chase/Clark Griswold boss in the movie

The guy with the gavel at the auction was Bill Murry's brother Brian. Heh. Loved coming back in time to your 3rd movie review. Keep it up and butter that popcorn. Have fun beautiful. : )

Watching your channel make me remember so many classic. It bring me good memories

I absolutely loved your laughter and reactions to this film. I saw so much joy, and I am here for it. 💜💜💜

Yup...one of my go to Movies 🤗 thanks for sharing...’twas fun🤗💕

I’ve watched loads and loads of your videos today but this is the first one that’s made me leave a comment. Groundhog Day is my favourite movie of all time and I’m so glad you liked it.

Love this movie. There has been a lot of guessing about how long he actually repeats this day. Some estimates put it at up to 500 years, but I doubt it. The guy that plays the doctor that does the x-rays is the late Harold Ramis, the director of the movie.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time because it reminds me that each day is a gift and I should use my time to make myself a better person.

You won’t be the only one watching “Groundhog Day” on February 2nd.

What a great movie. Gets watched yearly on Groundhog Day.

The director said that he was in the loop for 33 years. Crazy!
