Groundhog Day is about a weatherman, Phil Conners (Murray), who is sent to Punxatawney, PA to cover the annual Groundhog Day festival. This unhappy, unkind, and unfriendly weatherman finds himself waking up to the same day, Groundhog Day, over and over again. He is stuck in the same town on the same day, despite his efforts to somehow bring the day to an end. After a time, he begins to use the days to his advantage--learning how to play the piano and ice sculpt, saving lives, and getting to know the people around him. As he does this, he begins to change and becomes a better person.
Ultimately, there is a sort of enlightenment that results from living the same day over and over that finally leads Conners to the next day, the day after Groundhog Day.
Just a few of the many unforgettable moments in Groundhog Day:
Phil: I'm a god. I'm not the God...I don't think.
Phil: There is a major network interested in me.
Larry: That would be the home shopping network.
Rita: Are you drunk or something?
Phil: Drunk is more fun.
Rita: I like to see a man of advancing years throwing caution to the wind. It's inspiring in a way.
Phil: My years are not advancing as fast as you might think.
Rita: Would you like to come to dinner with Larry and me?
Phil: No thank you. I've seen Larry eat.
Phil: Do you ever have déjà vu Mrs. Lancaster?
Mrs. Lancaster: I don't think so, but I can check with the kitchen.
Phil: Can I be serious with you for a minute?
Rita: I don't know, can you?
Phil: Can I talk to you about a matter that's not work related?
Rita: You never talk about work.
Phil: What would you do if you were stuck in one place and every day was exactly the same and nothing you did mattered?
Ralph: That about sums it up for me.
Rita: Have you ever had déjà vu?
Phil: Didn't you just ask me that?
Rita: What did you do today?
Phil: Oh, same-old, same-old.
Felix's wife: Dr. Conners. I want to thank you again for fixing Felix's back. He can even help around the house again.
