Groundhog Day
Character: Phil | Genre: Comedy, Romance | Year: 1993 | Director: Harold Ramis
Ask most of Bill’s aficionados and they will confess to you that they love Groundhog Day; may be because of the pan-religious lessons on how to live a better life. Once again, Murray appears to be an arrogant jerk in need of cosmic retribution. His exceptional variations using the same lines and actions are most certainly a master class when it comes to acting.
