Groundhog Day

"Anything different is good." How long did Phil spend in Punxsutawney, anyway?

I rewatched "Groundhog Day" a few months ago, and enjoyed it again - I can easily see how this would go on someone's "personal favorite movies" list.

There have been some attempts made to address your question:

Jan 31, 2018 - "How Many Times Does Bill Murray Reilve Groundhogs Day?" by Dave Wheeler on bigfrog104.com

There's another article on whatculture.com

It seems to be 10 years at a minimum, with some people guessing more like 30 years - I think it's probably somewhere in between those durations (Murray wasn't a great pianist, but he was good enough to fake it in a nightclub, and that alone would take 5-10 years of multi-hour-per-day practice).

I have a feeling that I've seen it before, but I don't really remember it.

Actually, when the same arguments by the same people break out on food boards, tennis & other regular parts of my life, I have a tendency to mention that I feel like I'm in Groundhog Day.  Usually meets with a less than favorable response (usually the same one at that).
