I am really distracted by the Absolut Vodka ad above your post! Awesome!

Is Groundhog Day the greatest movie or what? I think it’s the safest movie for watching with a newly acquired date. “Have you seen Groundhog day? Oh, it’s really funny.”
What do you think of of Bicycle Thieves? I’ve seen it on your Last Movies Watched many times now.

Groundhog Day is the epitome of a great Hollywood comedy, probably my favorite of the past 20 years. I showed it to a class on blu-ray and it went over exceedingly well.

What do you think makes Groundhog Day stands out among those popular Hollywood fantasy comedies like CLICK ,50 FIRST DATES and LIAR LIAR?

There’s a philosophical side to Groundhog Day that puts it in a league of its own. I just love the premise of the Bill Murray character having to relive the same day over and over until he gets it right. At the end of the movie he learns that it’s important to make the people around you happy. It’s quite Buddhist if you think about it!
