The World’s Best Groundhog Day The Movie Site

Modesty forbids… oh wait, it doesn’t. I created the best Groundhog Day fan site. You can tell by the URL: groundhogdaythemovie.com.

The two most common questions (among many others) are answered therein:

Why The Loop?

There is one question that has come up several times that I feel I must answer at the top of this tribute site. One of the early drafts of the script explained that Phil was trapped in the loop because of a curse, placed by a jilted girlfriend. Fortunately for the world, director Harold Ramis and writer Danny Rubin decided to drop the explanation, which is one of the major contributing factors to this being a perfect film.

How Many Times?

There has been much speculation as to how many times Phil repeated the loop. There are a few websites that speculate it was fewer than 30. I say to learn how to ice sculpt and play piano like that he repeated the day hundreds if not thousands of times. Some speculate the number is in the 10s of thousands.
