Groundhog Day Doesn’t Need to Explain Itself

“Phil!? Phil Connors?!?!” In 1993, the late great Harold Ramis teamed with Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell to do the same thing over and over and over again. In the 30 years since, Groundhog Day has become a genre all unto itself. Blending elements of time travel, magical realism, spirituality and good old fashioned romantic comedy, it doesn’t feel right to call it a cult classic but that’s not far off from describing the legacy of the film. Clint, Cal and Alex, dive into the expert craftsmanship of repetitive comedy, just how many days Phil repeated, and one of the few times that watching a co-worker drive off a cliff is actually hilarious. Meanwhile, producer Dan’s algorithm did not respond to requests for comment… CineFix Top 100 is produced by Tayo Oyekan, with Director of Photography, Jamie Parslow and Technical Producer, Marhyan Franzen.
