My 150 Favorite Movies - #87
Groundhog Day (1993)
In this absolutely brilliant existential comedy directed by the late, great Harold Ramis, Bill Murray plays a grumpy TV weatherman, who keeps waking up to find he's in a time loop, experiencing the same day, again and again. The phrase "Groundhog Day," as referring to a time loop, has since been adopted into the lexicon, for instance, soldiers referring to a tour of duty in Iraq. Desson Howe of The Washington Post
noted that even though the film is a good Bill Murray vehicle,
"'Groundhog' will never be designated a national film treasure by the
Library of Congress". The film was selected by the National Film Preservation Board for preservation in the Library of Congress in 2006.
