Today is Groundhog Day and some people reckon a movie with the exact same title is Bill Murray's best film.
Groundhog Day is a holiday celebrated in the United States and Canada on February 2.
According to tradition, if a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day and sees its shadow, it signifies that winter will continue for six more weeks.
If it does not see its shadow, it is believed that spring will arrive early.
Advert
The 1993 film focuses on this very phenomenon, however it sees Murray's character forced to endure Groundhog Day every day.
What follows is a hilarious sequence of events showing Phil (Murray) desperately trying to escape repetition.
While Murray has appeared in dozens of films during his lengthy career, viewers reckon Groundhog Day is his best.
Groundhog day is Bill Murray's best movie. Don't @ me.
