• Groundhog Day "is a 1993 American comedy film directed by Harold Ramis, starring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell." 
  "Murray plays Phil Connors, an egocentric Pittsburgh TV weatherman who, during a hated assignment covering the annual Groundhog Day event in Punxsutawney, finds himself repeating the same day over and over again. After indulging in hedonism and numerous suicide attempts, he begins to reexamine his life and priorities."
