Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film was so influential that 'Groundhog Day' became shorthand for any repetitive situation—used in military briefings, therapy, and even Parliament.
Murray and Ramis had a legendary 20-year feud after this film; they only reconciled days before Ramis's death in 2014. Art imitates life imitates art.
