GROUNDHOG DAY (1993) | MOVIE REACTION | FIRST TIME WATCHING 

What would you do if you had to repeat the same day over and over again?

My favorite fact about this movie is that Harold Ramis, the director (also cameod as the doctor), knew Bill Murray well enough to know he gets burned out as production goes on, so it was actually filmed in reverse, with his happiest scenes first, and his more douchey scenes from the first part of the movie we filmed last.

Phil made the effort to put bread into his suicide toaster. That's what makes it art. Best. Leo.

My wife grew up in the Soviet Union so only has knowledge of movies of that era that are known globally. She absolutely loves Groundhog Day and it's by far her favorite movie.

"I know this is a lighthearted movie..." **Cue Bill Murray suicide montage**

In the most honest but least dramatic way, this movie saved my life. I've suffered with depression since I was 15 and experienced many times where I've wanted to end my life because it felt like there was absolutely no point in living. I couldn't get any enjoyment from my hobbies anymore and even getting out of bed was a chore. But watching this film over a year ago for the first time ended up completely changing the way I saw my life. What Bill Murray's character did to end up breaking the repetitive cycle, I ended up applying to my own life. I learned piano, learned new languages, made short films, wrote poetry, went to therapy, started helping people and being as productive as possible. Because today will only come once. And there's only so much life that you can get out of one day. But now, I literally live every day to the fullest instead of living it like a Groundhog Day

This was filmed where I was born and where my grandma lived so it’s a super weird movie to watch but still one of my favorites. He kills himself jumping from the opera house in the The town square and the place where he stepped in the puddle now has a plaque that says “bill Murray stepped here”

The doctor who checked him for tumors is played by Harold Ramis. He wrote and directed the movie, and he also plays Egon in Ghostbusters.

I loved when you said, "Make the best of it, Phil!" That's exactly what he ended up doing. In the end, he tried to do all the right things, even knowing it would all vanish the next day, and nobody would know what he did. That's what finally broke the curse.

An interesting fact Buster the mayor of Punxsutawney is Brian Doyle-Murray who is Bill Murray's real life brother

If you haven’t seen The Princess Bride you would like that one.

"I have a feeling this video is going to be just me grinning the whole time..." Absolutely nothing wrong with that. We need more flicks like that. The medium has plenty of room for everything. - Really enjoyed this vid of yours. Thanks.

There are different theories about how long he was there. The smallest estimate is 10 years, but there are others ranging from 100 to 10,000 years (I can't remember who had the 10,000 estimate, but I do remember he was an important guy for the film and that's why I remembered it lol)

The man speaking during the Groundhog and Man Auction Ceremonies is Bill Murry's big brother , Brian Doyle-Murry... a great comedic character actor.

There are movie theatres that play it, every year, on loop all day long. This is how I know there are people like me out there :)

Years phill spent in Groundhog day: Well a film blog has worked it out for you: 33 years and 350 days. These included the 38 “Days shown on screen”, the 414 “Days mentioned” (including the “six months. Four to five hours a day” spent throwing playing cards into a hat), and the colossal 11,931 “Days spent learning”. Based off the theory that it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert at anything, this third stage covered the time needed for Phil to learn French poetry, ice sculpting and the piano.

There's nothing better than "smiling like an idiot". Never apologize for that

Fun fact: it’s estimated that Phil had to repeat the day for 10-40 years before he got it right.

I am currently snowed in on Groundhog Day. Perfect movie to watch!

Best line: "Well, it's Groundhog Day...again."

Fun fact: For Phil to have learned everything he learned, and gotten to such a "pro" level in them all, it is estimated he was trapped for... 12,395 days. That' s a few days short of 34 years. Living the same day. Over and over. :)

You should react to Lost in Translation! A great Bill Murray movie with a young Scarlett Johansson. Two travelers in Tokyo find that they’re the people each other need at this particular moment in their lives.

It has been theorized that he was in that Loop for 30 to 40 years. That explains why he became so good at so many thinks.

You are just the sweetest lady. Your husband is a very lucky guy! I just discovered your channel and I'm binge watching your videos. I'm a cinemaphile and I love seeing someone react in real time to all the great movies I've seen a hundred times and love. During the pandemic, I've been introducing my 15 year old daughter to all my favorite movies and she's loving almost all of them. It's a great feeling! And thanks for mentioning About Time. I love that very underrated film.

So fun to see your mind working so hard to solve the puzzle of this movie 😂😂😂 But you figured it out - the escape door from Ground Hog Day lay in Phil's heart and when he found it you were right there too. That's why I love this movie - its so true to the human experience. The chance to live differently is available each day to us too - if we can get just out of our own myopic loop

I’m not really a rom-com guy, but I grew up with two older sisters so there were compromise movies we’d watch. The two that I still love to this day are “Innerspace” with Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid (who ended up falling in love during the making and getting married), and “Her Alibi” Paulina Porizkova and Tom Selleck. Very entertaining and fun movies to watch.

I've been obsessed with watching people's first time watching videos. They're so fun, can't wait to see your other reactions.

The jeopardy scene. When I was in high-school my parents had a satellite dish and we'd get the jeopardy feed. We had a guy that worked for us we'd watch jeopardy over the noon hour that was a day ahead. He'd go to the bar after work, they always watched jeopardy. They thought he was a genius lol.

A timeless movie on every levels.

One of my all time favorites. Very funny with a great underlying message.

OMG, this movie is one of my favorite. I can't believe i am this old now, I remember watching it when it came out!

Me and my wife have watched this movie every year at Groundhog Day for over 25 years.

That surprised look on your face when you saw the girl was still there in the bed was so sweet and they lived happily ever after.Loved your reaction to this great movie.You have such a soft heart,well done.

My absolute favorite part is when the piano teacher kicks the little girl out because Phil gave her a wad of cash.

You have a great laugh, and yes Andie's hair is amazing!

I'll always love this movie, and not just because I love it (which I do), but because of how much my Dad loved it. Fond memories I'll always cherish; when I watch this movie I can't help but remember my Dad.

I like action and sci fi films, but also like a well written and acted film. Groundhog day is one of those perfect film in its own right.

You had me smiling the whole time too!! Love this movie, loved your reaction. Now you've gotta watch Scrooged, you can wait for Christmas season if you want, it's my second favorite Bill Murray led movie after this one. Other great Bill Murray movies: Stripes, Ghostbusters and Caddyshack.

I really like this movie. I also liked your reaction to it. It's amazing how you figured out Phil's plan right off the bat. You are pretty good when it comes to that.

Classic 90s comedy - 'Trains, Planes and Automobiles'

The old guy who announces the groundhog prediction is Brian Doyle Murray, brother of Bill Murray.

If you loved this you SO need to watch AMELIE! It’s different, but such a beautiful movie with the same type of magical storyline.

I've seen a lot of people watching this movie, and that makes me happy! I hadn't seen this until a few years ago, and I absolutely loved it! It's just fun! I'm glad you enjoyed it, too!

Im going back to your first reactions..your laughing and smiling always make my day happier

Just came across this review today. You are celebrating your 1100 that subscriber now you're sitting in 375 k Nice work. Stay humble and kind.

I know it’s not Christmas, but Scrooged is one of Bill Murray’s best.

It's was great seeing you so happy when he broke from the loop... I've always wondered if Phil even remembers the life he had in Pittsburgh before the loop started. From his point of view, it's been years or maybe decades since he's been home. Punxsutawney is like his home now so he'd probably be more comfortable living there than returning to Pittsburgh.

I absolutely loved your laughter and reactions to this film. I saw so much joy, and I am here for it. 💜💜💜

There's a TV show with the same idea, living the same day over and over. Day Break, with Taye Diggs (from Way Of The Gun), Adam Baldwin (Jayne from Firefly, and Animal Mother from Full Metal Jacket), and Jonathan Banks (Mike from Breaking Bad). I think they only made one season, like ten episodes or so. But it is so great! Taye is repeating the same day, and there is so much going on, and there are so many people he needs to help.

*(Coming to America)* starring *Eddie Murphy* is considered a Romantic Comedy

I love your channel. I love your reactions to these classic films that I love so much. Please keep it up!

Absolutely loved watching you watch this! It was definitely a movie you deserved to see🥰

I say let the smiling continue 😊. Movies that will probably make you smile: As Good as It Gets (1997) Lost in Translation (2003) Up in the Air (2009) Sideways (2004) Big (1988) St. Vincent (2014) Little Miss Sunshine (2006) The Nice Guys (2016) The Terminal (2004)

The guy that wrote the original script said he was stuck in that time loop for 100,000 years but the director Harold Ramis said it's more like 10 years lol

Groundhog Day is lifechanging! Glad you saw it.

love going back to the start of your journey with subs. it's great to see how far you've come along. enjoy all of your videos!!!

If you haven’t seen the Back To The Future trilogy, you really need to. You’ll love it.

Great reaction to a fun movie. I just found your channel today and subscribed, so looking forward to some lovely reactions. You will probably see a lot of recommendations for Princess Bride and When Harry Met Sally, which I would agree with if you haven't seen them. They are classic RomComs that have stood the test of time.

The Best Reaction to a Classic that I've yet seen. I'm looking forward to seeing your other reactions, now Popcorn!

Fun Fact: The doctor he goes to see is Harold Ramis aka Egon. Also, Bill Murry did a Jeep commercial for the new Jeep Gladiator for the 2020 Super Bowl that was set in Groundhogs Day that Murry and his brother ( who played the Mayor ) wrote the commercial and got some of the other actors to play in it.

Great reaction. Also, I loved Palm Springs.

I have an early 90's movie for you that is a forgotten gem. Do a reaction to "The Fisher King" (1991) starring Robin Williams and Jeff Bridges. You'll love it.

Bare in mind that he's meant to have been in repeating this day for decades *at least.* They never really explained how long he was in the loop for. Harold Ramis at first said it could be thousands of years, but then later said it was probably more like a few decades or so.. Someone online worked out that it has to have been at least 34 years.

I have been watching this movie every Feb 2nd since 1998. I love this movie! It was a pleasure watching you watch it for the 1st time.

It was such a joy to see your reaction to this classic! Have you ever heard of a movie called 'Synecdoche, New York'? It's my favourite movie of all time, and it's darkly hilarious and deeply moving, and it would mean the absolute world to me if you'd watch it. I guarantee you've never seen anything quite like it before.

I love your reactions, watched them all so far. Have you ever watched Field of Dreams? It might be worth considering.

If you want to know how long he was repeating the same day, the director said the original script revealed he was there 10,000 years.

Watching this in 2023... fun to hear her get excited about reaching 1K subs as I look at the sub counter that now says 278K.

"Id love to go to Pittsburgh" No. You don't.

Notting Hill is a good one if you haven't seen it.

Loved your reaction video! Very sincere, and your choice of watching from your bed makes it just seem more "real."

haha this is hilarious..I've only seen two of your reactions, and they were "Saving Private Ryan" and "John Wick" and riiiight after, I actually had the thought that you would love this movie lol. So pure of heart you be! haha

Great reaction!... check out "What About Bob?", another Bill Murray classic...

Bill was stuck in the loop for 33 years and 350 days. That means he was left repeating the same day an incredible 12,395 times.

It just occurred to me that he went without having a warm shower for years. 🥶

"Haaa, What a waste of time." Best line of the whole movie.

Would love to see you react to "American Beauty". Great film. Up there with Shawshank.

The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou is also with Bill Murray :) well, so as any other Wes Anderson movie...

So funny that you hit 1,000 subscribers and were so happy and now you have 273,000+ I'm loving watching your reaction videos especially when they are movies I already love.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time because it reminds me that each day is a gift and I should use my time to make myself a better person.

"Let's live here" Seems like the director was drunk when he chose that ending.

I’ve watched loads and loads of your videos today but this is the first one that’s made me leave a comment. Groundhog Day is my favourite movie of all time and I’m so glad you liked it.

Who couldn't love this movie? Hard to believe you only had a few thousand subscribers here!

Fun Cameos in this movie. Brian Murray played Mayor Buster in the movie is Bill Murray Brother. And Harold Raimis who played Egon Spengler in Ghostbusters plays the Doctor who cant seem to see or Diagnose Phil in this movie

I'm really happy for discovering your channel. You are reacting to my favourite films. Looking forward to the next reaction

I've been binging your videos all morning and have yet to see either popcorn or a bed.

Just pulled this up and you had just gotten 1000 followers at this point. Congrats for your accomplishments!!

One of the best of romantic comedy ever filmed. Terrific reaction. Always fun watching the film again through someone else's eyes.

You have such a pure soul I enjoyed your sincere reaction.

I was about to recommend this right then i saw this vod in the right hand column lol

The director said it was over ten years. Some people tried to figure out scientifically and came to over 33 years.

One of my all time favorite movies, great reaction.

This is my birthday movie. I was born on February 2nd, and have watched this film on my birthday every year since this came out. I'm glad you love it, too!

What a year 1993 was, this and Falling Down already made it unforgettable.

I used to watch Ground Hog day every day for weeks and have to rewind the VHS tape. I was trying to count how long he was there. At least six months but maybe a year. Harold Ramis, the Neurologist doctor was his costar in GhostBusters.

Watching your channel make me remember so many classic. It bring me good memories

"Peggy Sue Got Married" or "The Princess Bride" are both great heartwarming movies.

I luv this movie and I love all your reactions hun. Of course I subscribed as soon as you said your name was Cassie...🤣🤣🤣

It's amazing that this film gave us the phrase "Ground Hog Day" as a repetitive cycle in a person's life.

Grumpy meteorologist Phil lives the same day over and over after he arrives in the town of Punxsutawney for the annual Groundhog Day festivities.
