I watched this film for the first time the night before last, and I have been thinking it over and over since. What a spectacular film, I feel ashamed to have only seen it for the first time so recently. It really touched me in a very soft place, and I felt great come the end of the movie. :p

Oh, and we are so lucky to have Bill Murray in our lives. :D

What do you all think of Groundhog Day?
 
I really enjoy it :)
It's basically a rom/com with a bit of a twist*.

Half the fun is trying to spot the minor/understated differences that occur every go round.

He's also very good in Lost in Translation, and even his very short part in Zombieland:)
I think Murrey is great abd one of the fairly small number of Hollywood actors who can pull of both great comedy, and more serious roles (and send himself up as well), and I can't imagine things like Ghostbusters or even Caddyshack without him:)


*I have an odd soft spot for good, not overly gushy rom coms:p
 
Amazing film, that I've only seen all the way through twice. (had a ground hog day moment seeing the fist hour about 6 times before hand)
 
Great film, and yeah, Bill Murray is an amazing actor. He's also quite weird, if you read his Wikipedia page, but fair play to him.
 
^Fine by me bro

I loved it right up until the last five minutes. It came to an absolutely perfect end, where he realised that only way to escape was to become a genuinely better person. Then they tacked on five minutes where it turned out that the key was loving small-town America. Since my feelings about small-town America would get be banned from this site, then the film lost me at that point. But up until then, great.

No one would ever know though and your own personal memory is the only thing that persists. Is that rape, or is it a dream?

It's quite a discussion topic. Just how would one go about proving what was happening in Bill's position: is it even happening? There are a number of parallels that can be made to H. G. Wells' Invisible Man.

There are endless things you can do to satisfy one's evil curiosity without any of the consequences, then when you are done, you can also make yourself rich easily enough, find out end of day stock trading figures, lottery numbers (there is bound to be one that run that day), sports betting, all sorts. Of course, you can only do it on the one day that carries over so in order do that you would have one very busy day !

Learning the piano is a good one, anything that goes in your memory.

Studying a subject would be good too, law especially since in american you only need to pass the bar to practice and anyone can take the bar exam. That would mean a life time of education done in a day, next day take the exam.
