So much has already been written about Groundhog Day here, what more can I add?

This is one of the great romantic/existential comedies of the last century. If you haven't seen, run out and get it! This movie was an early breakout role for Bill Murray, who was under-appreciated at the time as a great actor.
There's no gimmick or trick to the movie. You just have to pay close attention and consider how one movie under two hours manages to capture everything from Buddhist enlightenment to dating to the nature of self-hatred, self-love, snobbery, and kindness. You'll never learn how Phil Connors gets trapped in time and comes to fear his own shadow. But you don't need to know that.
You'll see something new each time you watch it. Buy it so you can savor the miracle of Groundhog Day over and over.
