On January 29 one of the coolest movies Harold Ramis ever directed is coming out on DVD…again. It’s the 15th anniversary edition of Groundhog Day
If you’ve never seen Groundhog Day then you really should punch yourself in the face. It is one of the coolest movies of all time. It’s the story of how weatherman Phil Connors (Murray) finds himself repeating the same day over and over again in a small town during their annual Groundhog Day celebration. He first tries to use this to advantage to woo (or screw) Rita (MacDowell), his production manager, but then learns about true love and…well, that sounds boring. But trust me, it’s a fantastic movie and funny as hell.
I can’t believe this movie is 15 years old. It seems like just yesterday I was sitting in the theater watching it. Or maybe it was just yesterday and I repeated that day for 15 years! My brain feels like fried okra now!
If there was one day of your life that you would like to relive what would it be?
Tell you what…email me a day of your life – a REAL day of your life – that you would like to relive and tell me why. The story I like best will win a copy of the 15th anniversary edition of Groundhog Day! Contest ends January 1st, so get to emailing gang!
EDIT: Wow, I came up with that contest idea as I was writing the article and didn’t expect much to come from it, but you kids have been popping in left and right with your submissions! So, I guess I should go ahead and give the “You Won’t Be Spammed” Speech: Ahem, I think spam sucks goat and I’m sure you do too, so your email will be kept absolutely private and never sold to goat sucking spam people! Thank you.
