HITC.COM ^ | 2/2/2023 | Ellissa Bain

My favorite movie is Groundhog Day, and I have made it a personal tradition to watch it on... Groundhog Day, much to my wife's chagrin.

This post is in honor of that tradition:

It’s Groundhog Day 2023 and here are 17 of the best quotes from the iconic 1993 movie to celebrate the holiday.

Occurring every year on February 2, Groundhog Day is a popular North American superstition that revolves around an animal called a groundhog.

If the rodent emerges from its burrow and sees its shadow due to sunny weather, it will retreat back to its den and winter will continue for six more weeks.

17? That is torture on the scale of the original movie.

Four years ago I broke my ankle and we looked up funniest movies of all time. It was a totally different list. I think it was a google list. This one has more modern movies. I liked the old ones. One of my favorites is The General. The first one on the list was Some Like it Hot. Hilarious. At least three Marx Brothers movies made the list. Several Mel Brookes movies. I didn’t see any of either of those on this list.

I like some of the newer ones, but they’re more crass.
It’s funny on occasion, but it’s almost everything now.
When everything is “shocking”, nothing is “shocking”…

You said stay and I stayed.

I can’t even get a Border Collie to stay

Maybe a bit of paraphrasing

The whole movie is about the man having to improve and prove himself worthy of the woman. You don't see many movies where the woman sees herself as having to improve to be worthy of a man.

Because most guys will simply move on and not wait for the woman to improve.

No! Rather: Because most guys are willing to say, "Ehh... Good enough!"

Regards,

That as well. Bottom line is, guys don't waste their time changing the woman, they either live with it, or move on.

I was reading just yesterday that Murray and director Harold Ramis were constantly arguing and fighting during production. It was brutal and not a fun movie to make. With Murray going out of his way (showing up late, etc.) to make trouble.

But.... It turned out to be a great movie.

More like, women look for "Mr Right"

Guys are fine with "Miss Good Enough For Tonight".

Love both! Watching GD tonight. It’s become an annual thing for us the last few years. Kinda like watching It’s A Wonderful Life at Christmas. Wouldn’t be the same without it.

Harold called Bill a prima donna. They didn’t speak to each other for years after. Reconciled just before Harold died.

How about this one?

“Rita, do me a favor. I need someone to give me a good hard slap in the face.”

SLAP!

Hubby and I got married on Groundhog Day. As a prank, our friends who sang during our ceremony slipped in some of the “I got you, babe” in the mix. Pretty funny
