'Groundhog Day' "I'm a god" scene

when you've replayed a game so many times you're ready to contribute to the wiki

"I am immortal" ... "The special today is blueberry waffles." Doris is great.

my man memorized the dialogue to the NPCs so he can speedrun the quests

The pain in a man's eyes when looking at a woman he's come to love over dozens of years yet she probably doesn't know his last name. Bill Murray portrayed this beautifully

This entire movie is pretty much doing all side quests before main story

What to do if you're stuck in a time-loop: 1- Figure out how to break out of it. 2- Do everything else before you break out.

One of the compromises this movie made was that Murray had wanted to make it much, much, much darker. Ramis compromised by showing him killing himself repeatedly. His repeated suicides were intended to be just the beginning of Dark Times, but Ramis wisely refused to do this. If you’re trapped in a loop long enough to experience every single facet of human existence, life, and death, well… Humans do some utterly nightmarish things to one another, and he repeated this cycle long enough to know exactly how far a person can fall into cruelty and depravity. Fortunately, he was ultimately a fundamentally decent man in the final accounting and was allowed to leave the cycle.

I recall that in an interview with the director they asked how long was he stuck in perpetual ground hog day… The director figured about 29.5 years for Bill’s character to get as skilled and knowledgeable as he did in the end. But don’t quote me on this, it’s been a while to of me remembering this esoteric fact.

Something nobody's noticing but I think should be appreciated: this vid was posted on Feb 2nd

The cgi on this is crazy. Garfield has never looked so life like

I like to think that the writer sat down and began to think, "now what kind of story could you write about Groundhog Day?" and came up with a masterpiece.

“I told you, I wake up everyday, right here. Right in Punxsutawney. And it’s always February 2nd. And there’s nothing i can do about it.” The pain in his voice every time I hear it makes me so sad for him.

I love how everyone is like, "Yes, that's so true - He just said something he couldn't have possibly known about me!" and then they just continue walking around the restaurant like nothing happened.

"The movie, as everyone knows, is about a man who finds himself living the same day over and over and over again. He is the only person in his world who knows this is happening, and after going through periods of dismay and bitterness, revolt and despair, suicidal self-destruction and cynical recklessness, he begins to do something that is alien to his nature. He begins to learn." - Roger Ebert

As a moral parable, this was one of the finest films ever created. All our lives are on repeat to some extent. And to some people, they struggle with that. They have the low point, like he does in the film. And then they try to escape the monotony by being more integrated in their communities, by helping, by learning and growing. But it's not just about being perfect, he tries that. It's about matching that with being genuine and selflessness. It's only then that he escapes. But it's only then that he wouldn't want it to end.

“Nancy, she.. works in the dress shop, and makes noises like a chipmunk when she gets real excited ” ( Hey! ) this always makes me giggle and I love it

No-one cares or is surprised by the fact that this stranger knows intimate details of their lives.

The saddest thing is that because he was stuck in this loop for a LONG time, the rest of his life will come and go really fast.

The next moment, his repetitive existence was finally cut short when another man claiming to be an immortal barged in brandishing a sword, proclaiming that there could "be only one" before cutting Phil's head off.

this is what real solitude looks like, amazing and so utterly unescapable.
