Bill Murray's level of sarcasm is brilliant.
I think the old man scene is there to show that we have to accept that some things are simply out of our control.
When Harold Ramis was dying, Bill Murray went to his bedside and they made up for all that time they had lost. Ramis died shortly after.
He didn't die very old i suppose. He was at... 40 at most at Ghostbusters?
@@rogeriopenna9014 Harold Ramis was 69 when he died from from autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis.
@@sacrament182 😭
Apparently Bill didn't know Harold's address just the town , so he went to the police station and they drove him to his house.
@@drake128 yes that's right -- I had forgotten that.
I really appreciated what the movie means to your husband.
Emily confusing Goundhog Day with Caddyshack is too cute. lol
Because of that I think Caddyshack should be the next video
And the Butterly effect as well :D
Well they both have bill murey and large rodents, they are basically the same movie
Groundhog Day 2.... edge of tomorow
@@landosalemchainsaw i missed that one
The scenes where he tries to rescue the old man always get me 🥲
Same. Harold Ramis said it was important to him to have that scene because Phil had to realize that he wasn't God. Despite all his knowledge of the present and no matter how many times tried to save him he had to learn that he can't control everything.
@@Matt-vv7fl That was deep. He really went through a vast range of emotions and mindsets. When he looked up to the heavens after his last failed attempt to save hi, it was almost as if he was asking God "Why.... why can't I save him? You've given me knowledge and endless time and I still can't save him!". After that, he began to make the most of himself and gave to others as much as he could...but was tempered by the fact he had limits and he most certainly wasn't God.
They filmed the movie in reverse order because the director knew that Bill Murray got grumpier the longer a movie shoot went on. This worked perfectly because of Phil's character arc. Also, he relived that day 10,000 times.
his comments in the movie suggested he relieved that same day for many many years.
At leasts 10,000 days. Ramis said a few years, but there are theories out there that suggest his mastery of so many skills coupled with his intimate knowledge of so many people (and all his days off) mean he may have been stuck reliving the same day for hundreds (if not a thousand or more) years.
It has been calculated based on all his knowledge and new skills and learning that it would require between 25 to 30 years .10,000 years is a ridiculous number but 10,000 days makes much more sense...but Ramis did mention about a 30 year figure.
10000 divided by 365 is a little more then 27 years.
And that’s just for the piano.
Fun fact. He's a fairly prolific character actor but most people miss him in Spaceballs, but the guy who played Ned Ryerson was the "you've captured their stunt doubles!" guy.
He also played Stu in Californication. Love that show.
Check out the documentary Stephen Tobolowski's Birthday.
He was also in Glimmer Man with Steven Seagal... which is not worth watching, but Tobolowski's story about working with Seagal is! It's hillarious, you can find it on here.
Like I said, prolific. 😂
I mainly mentioned Spaceballs since she just recently saw it.
"Hi. My name is Werner Brandes. My voice is my passport. Verify me.
Emily has such a infectiously positive personality it's great
Yes, her laughs, particularly at the Gilbert Gottfried scene in Beverly Hills Cop II KILLED me. best thing ever.
The guy doing the auction is Bill’s real life brother, Brian.
He was really good in Wayne's World, too.
And talking to the groundhog.
He also played Lou Loomis in Caddyshack, the caddy shack manager
he's also the boss Mr. Shirley in National Lampoon's Christmas vacation, he's the psychiatrist in Ghostbusters 2, and Mr. Cross the studio owner in Scrooged.
@@Dragnmastralex - Mr Cross is Frank's dad in the Christmas Past section (gives him packages of meat for Christmas!)
The actual town in which this film was shot was Woodstock , Illinois . I was born there and still live one town away .
yep came here to see if somebody already said this, i live in the area also
@@NolmDirtyDan imdb helps lol
I grew up in Marengo and remember all the hubbub when they shut the town down for filming. The railroad museum in Union had a bunch of movie's scenes filmed there as well through the 90s.
There are many theories about how many times Bill Murray's character actually had to repeat the same day in order to know everything about every person in the town, play piano, time every single thing to save all those people, etc... IIRC, most of theories said he probably repeated everything during, at the very least, 10 years.
Some people guessed he repeated the same day for over 100 or 1000 years. I can't remember, I read about it years ago.
Just looked it up, he was stuck in limbo for roughly 10,000 years, according to Harold Ramis. Which is crazy to comprehend.
@@Jar0fMay0 Harold Ramis said two different numbers at different times, one time it was 10 years and later 10000 years, however someone else calculated that he was stuck for 8 years, 8 months and 16 days.
@@Rikard_Nilsson in truth there's no way to know how long he relived that day. After all how many days did he wake up kill himself day goes by he wakes up again? He said he tried killing himself every way possible when he said he was a god. How many ways are there to die? So you have to add that many days in any calculation.
@@Rikard_Nilsson plus while they showed him take advantage to bang Nancy and try yet fail with reta butvwho knows how many others he did it with, that girl who was having second thoughts about getting married for example?
the original script writer said it was 100,000 years but Harold Ramis said it was more like 10 years lol
The giggling at "Gobbler's Knob"
You're probably giggling again....LOL
Ikr.
There's a town named Blue Ball and another named Intercourse in PA.
@@Razgriz85 Yup....driven past Intercourse and took a picture of the sign! LOL
@@Razgriz85 Amazingly, they're less than 7 miles apart. But, Blue Ball is at a slightly higher elevation, so, naturally, it's easier to get from Blue Ball to Intercourse than Intercourse to Blue Ball.
There's a town in southern Ohio called Knockemstiff
Groundhog Day is one of those flicks that they teach University high level philosophy courses at both religious seminaries and elite Universities. Bill Murray essentially lost his mind doing this flick.
This is my personal Christmas movie that I have to watch at least twice a year.
Really?
The actor that plays the husband who gets the Wrestlemania tickets is Michael Shannon. He's the same actor that plays General Zod in "Man of Steel".
😲😲😲
I didn't realize they had Wrestlemania on Krypton?
This was his first movie role. He also was one of the main characters in Knives Out.
@@rsrt6910 Not Krypton. War World. Need to see Bizzaro vs Mongul in a cage match. Not to mention the Royal Rumble starring Granny Goodness furies.
And yet, as of 2021, WrestleMania has yet to take place in Pittsburgh. 😒
My Mom would take me out of school early some days to go see certain shots being filmed. I was able to meet Bill, Harold, and Chris. Chris was less recognizable than the others so we got to chat him up for like 30 minutes before people realized who he was and began swarming him. A genuine and warm person.
I love the transition in Phil. He starts off cynical and selfish, living for his own whims and desires with the zero consequences idea giving him a license to do whatever he wanted. Then the depression and despair when satisfying his selfish desires leaves him unsatisfied and empty. Remember the zero consequences? At the end he finds fulfillment in being a good person and helping others AND he knows it won’t be remembered or appreciated but he does it anyway. He is doing good deeds and feeling satisfied and happy just because…. Makes a definite impression.
My favorite thing about this movie are the fan theories trying to figure out how long he was stuck in that loop.
Didn't Harold Ramis once say 10,000 years? Which is horrifying.
ONE DAY!
It has been calculated based on all his knowledge and new skills and learning that it would require between 25 to 30 years .10,000 years is a ridiculous number but 10,000 days makes much more sense...but Ramis did mention about a 30 year figure.
Fun fact: as a kid, my mom took my brother and I to watch this being filmed in the square at Woodstock, IL. We watched the scene where Bill talks to Ned on the sidewalk and steps into the pothole. It's a beautiful square, especially during winter when it's all lit up.
Emily your laugh is one of the greatest things I ever heard! Love your channel!
It's a Redemption Story buried in a hilarious comedy. So well done. One of my favorites too.
Honestly, I could watch these two watch every movie. They are fantastic!
"I've narrowed it down to a Harold Ramis film starring Bill Murray that features a furry rodent."
I once watched this movie 12 times in a row in a theater in 24 hours. There were about 200 people in the theater and it was one of the most fun things I've ever done. I hope to do it again someday
Matt: We can't get a groundhog.
Emily: Two groundhogs it is then !
This movie is the favorite for a lot of us guys. It's of course a metaphor for life, for learning to appreciate life, whatever we may take for granted, to take advantage of your time, your life instead of complaining about everything.
You guys do a great job editing. Plenty of the movie interspersed with appropriate commentary. Romantic comedies aren't my thing either, but "When Harry Met Sally" might be a good one to hit Emily with.
Watch "Demolition Man"
Definitely.
Yes!
you are fined 1 credit for the violation of the youtube comment stature.
When he is sitting with the old folks answering all the Jeopardy questions while drinking. 🤣 ✌️
that edit between scenes with the homeless man is so damn effective. I only saw it as a kid but that part and stood with me. Great reaction, guys!!
Please watch "What about Bob?" (1991, Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss) !
Awesome movie! This and What About Bob are Murray at his absolute best! Before Wes Anderson ruined him.
yes, just yes
@@NWAWskeptic Before Murray became full of himself in many ways too. Seriously, Groundhog Day was the last film I actually enjoyed watching Murray in. He was almost funny in The Life Aquatic though.
@@alucard624 yeah,The Man Who Knew Too Little had some great moments though. He is a fantastic dramatic actor. But I didn't enjoy any of Wes Anderson's movies. Yeah, Murray had sparks of being funny, but overall was boring
How do you know she has not watched it yet? It is not in the list, so I am assuming that these are videos they own.
“ He’s the fastest jack in Jefferson County “
Em, we all know what you were thinking. 😆
I completely forgot about that old man dying scene and when it came up I teared up just like the two of you. When Phil learned humility it was the beginning of breaking that spell/curse he was under.
When she said "puppet" I knew she was thinking of Caddyshack
Emily and Matthew you did it again, thanks for sending me down another UA-cam rabbit hole. 😂😂😂
The girl that got the Wrestlemania tickets is Hynden Walch, who voices Starfire on Teen Titans Go. She's also the voice of Princess Bubblegum in Adventure Time.
According to a making-of, when the film came out there were some Buddhists who encouraged others to see it and used the movie as an opportunity to explain to movie-goers their beliefs (it somewhat coincided) to anyone who asked by "protesting" the movie outside the theaters. Yay free publicity!
One of my local tv stations, plays groundhog day from midnight to midnight on groundhog day but they dont change the listings.
So now you must react to Caddyshack obviously to see the dancing groundhog puppet.
Please watch Tremors it deserves to get watched by everyone.
Oh yes, definitely
Hey Jordan, i think it is on the watch list in the description
Great movie Series
I had to hold back tears at the old man dying too it gets me every time.
I was so with Emily at 8:12 and I'm not afraid or ashamed to admit it! :D
18:47
If you gotta shoot aim high, I don’t wanna hit the groundhog.
Emily: nods in sincere approval
🤣
You could watch Cabin Boy to see Lilys' dad on a fun cruise. I remember first seeing Chris Elliott on the TV show Get a Life.
I always think of Scary Movie 2 he's way too memorable in that movie.
I first saw Chris Elliott as David Letterman's nemesis on the old NBC show.
He first tickled me on the old David Letterman show.
More recently, Chris Elliott had a supporting role on the Canadian sitcom "Schitt'$ Creek".
@@Mortismors "let me give you a 'standing' ovation.." Eliot and Cross in their scenes are hysterical.
I agree with your "Movie Mentor." I love this movie. This was the last movie my dad & I saw together in the theater before he passed away. I wish I could relive that day with him.
The intro is wonderful. The confusion between this and Caddyshack (which happened), is understandable and humorous, and you're awesome girl (as are both of you).thanks for this reaction.
I was a senior in high school when this movie came out, and it resonated with me instantly. The fact that he got to live the same day for many years (considering all the skills he had learned by the end of the movie) you get to see the full arc his character goes through. What really stood out for me was that he chose "Rhapsody On a Theme of Paganini" by Rachmaninoff to be the song that he turned onto a swing, is arguably the most romantic piece of music ever written, which made it perfect for the Christopher Reeve/Jane Seymour film "Somewhere in Time". That's one to be watched on Valentine's Day.
On one of my deployments in the Navy, when we crossed the international date line, we had to repeat a day, so they decided to put this movie on loop for 48 hours straight. I both love and hate this movie. lol
The director of Drive Angry said he was looking for a name for his movie then he watched this & saw the scene of bill & the groundhog being chased & when he says Don't Drive Angry he liked it so much he named it that.
"Motion Picture Majordomo"
Is All Of Me on the list? Lily Tomlin and Steve Martin showing some great chemistry despite not actually sharing that many scenes.
Fun fact: you know that young groom who Phil gave WrestleMania tickets to? That's Michael Shannon!
Yep, General Zod himself.
The Cherry Tree Inn is a real place located in Woodstock, IL.. And yes, you can stay in Phil's room.
16:17 - Emily says: "I think it is the guy on the corner asking for change. That's the lynchpin."
She got the real key to the groundhog dilemma; Bill has to become unselfish, and care for the old man.
"Save one, kill another", made me LOL. You 2 make a wonderful couple. Always a pleasure re-discovering great movies. Keep on the good work.
It's not the actual place. They filmed it in a different town for better aesthetics. Punxsutawney is an actual place though.
A great romantic comedy that would be right up Emily's valley: There's Something About Mary, also featuring Chris Elliott.
She *hates* romances.
I hate rom coms too - Something About Mary is the exception.
@@ryangreen6255 I don't know if I call it a romance when there's beans and franks stuck in a zipper or when a guy travels with the serial killer only to find his way into an outdoor orgy. But you know Different Strokes for different folks, there's probably a dick joke in there somewhere.
@@ericyoung5184 ok, I'll give you that. Besides, I've yet to watch it.
@@ryangreen6255 I don't know your humor but I have to agree she'd like it. It's actually not really a romantic comedy. It's really just a kind of Twisted comedy about a guy trying to date a girl. It's all for laughs. Not meant to be romantic even in the kind of cheesy way. Literally the most heartfelt moment in this movie is when the main character doesn't get punched in the face.
Oh man, when you guys get around to Caddyshack, Em's *really* gonna want a gopher!
Or a puppet!
This is one of the only movies I can think of where its title has become a shorthand for its premise.
"I can't see him as anybody but Lily's dad."
Dude, make her watch "Cabin Boy" (1994). She really needs to see him as a 'fancy lad.' =)
"THESE PIPES ARE CLEEEEEEEEEAN..."
This is seriously one of my favourite things to do, watching these two, especially Emily react 😂
One of my favourite films too. The scenes with the old man always gets me😢 Great reaction to a great film!
I'm in a similar boat as Matthew. Loved this movie since my childhood. It's like a safe space for me almost. I like to rewatch it once every few years.
1978 "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"!!!
I have been waiting for soooooooo long for someone to react to this movie. It is a MASTERPIECE of SCI-FI Horror. it will scare Emily in the best ways, lol RIP Teddy Bear
A great film with plenty of great actors: Donald Sutherland, Leonard Nimoy, Jeff Goldblum, Brooke Adams, Veronica Cartwright and Kevin McCarthy (star of the 1956 original).
Dayum, Emily...... Calling it Right, with the "Guy on the Corner being the Lynch Pin!!!"
Well Done, Honey! Bless Yer Heart!!! (I'm in SC)
What I've heard over the years since this film has been made is men resonate with this, including my father. I think that is so sweet.
Didn't realize until a few months ago that that young man who yells out "Wrestlemania!" grows up to become Michael Shannon :O
The old man's performance in this really gets me. It's true, there are no small parts.
You can see the moment when she realizes the deep meaning this movie holds for her man.
10:23 - Rick Duchaman. (?) He is in the Tom Hanks' movie The 'burbs. Another great movie to check out.
The giggle 😂 5:44
Very good and deep analysis of what is also one of my all-time favorite movies. Not only is it hilariously funny but it is also profound in showing how a person can grow if they just acknowledge the good in people and the beauty of the world. Also, just loved the chemistry between Murray and Annie McDowell, probably the best performances of their respective careers. Thank you, I needed this on cold, gray winter day. You too are awesome.
Harold Ramis, the ghostbuster, also directed this movie.
The mayor, the guy he heimliched, is Brian Doyle Murray, Bill's brother.
I have always been amazed at how much Brian Doyle Murray changed in the 10 years between National Lampoon's Vacation and Groundhog Day.
The guy who plays the Pawksatawnee Phil grandmaster of ceremonies (he was also the guy choking on his food that Phil saves) is Bill Murray's older brother, Brian Doyle Murray. It's estimated that Phil is stuck in this loop for several years, though we only see a handful. After all, think of all the things he had to learn: fluent ancient French, mastery of the piano, the schedules and likes of just about every person in town, etc).
LOVE your commentaries, guys. This is also one of my favourite movies, and I'm not even American!
Dammit, every time you say "Titular" I die laughing.
I hadn't noticed before, but the song playing during his attempts to woo her is "You don't know me."
OMG 21:08. I JUST noticed for the first time ever, the song he's trying to play there is the same one he plays at the end of the film
One of my top movies as well. Seeing Chris Elliot makes me really want to see you react to another of my favorite movies, Cabin Boy(1994).
Major: Aim high I don’t wanna hit the groundhog
Emily *nods in approval*
LMFAOOOOOOO
The man who taps on the groundhog's door is Bill Murray's brother Brian.
nice reaction guys. the death of the old man also got me the first time I saw the movie. it was indeed heartbreaking and probably the main reason why Phil finally realized about having chances in life. the old man only got that one day in his life to feel better while Phil got the chances he could.
This is one of the few films I can watch over and over, which is how it should be.
"Aim high, I don't want to hit the groundhog." *Emily nods*
One of my favorite Bill Murray outside Ghostbusters. Everytime this comes on cable I will watch it even though I have in my collection lol
The moral I got is: to live efficiently as if everyday is your last day..
By efficiently I mean do everything within your limited given power to the fullest!
A nice pep-talk, a helping hand, bringing Joy, support the needy, etc...
One of my favourites. It still stands up as a movie but also, the work that went into it to recreate the exact movements in the background perfomers day after day - wonderful. Such great direction from the late, great Harold Ramis.I'm glad he and Bill reconciled just before Harold passed, they did such great work together. Groundhog Day to me is a modern fairytale, he learns to be a better person and life allows him to move on. If you like this, another one to consider is 'Stranger Than Fiction' starring Will Ferrell. It's another modern fairytale that some will take apart as non sensical but as pieces of storytelling they're both magical.
For me this is the best movie ever made. Was waiting for E+M's reaction and enjoyed it.
A few things about the movie. The actor playing the guy who reads the proclamations is Bill Murray's brother, Brian Doyle-Murray. The "character actor's" name is Rick Duccomun. It may also be a coincidence, but the hgih school Phil pretends he went to to woo Nancy, Lincoln High, was the same school (or at least shared the name) with the school attended by Ross and Monica Geller and Rachel Greene from Friends.
On a darker note, fan theories about this movie postulate that Phil actually spent approximately ten thousand year trapped in this time loop, based on the time taken to master the multitude of skills he displays at the end.
I've been watching this movie since I was a little kid so I've never noticed that the term Gobblers Knob is hilarious
One of my favourite movies of all time. It's just brilliant.
Wonderful reaction as alway...thanks🤗 my fave “sick day” movie.... perfect fix to lift your mood.
You should check out “Groundhog Day” the musical. The song “Stuck” where he goes through a series of con artists and quacks to try to solve the problem is hilarious.
After rewatching this review again it never occurred to me how many people had died in the movie without Phil to save them; the kid in the tree, the mayor choking on the meat, the old man. Maybe Phil really is a God.
Seriously, I watch this movie every February 2nd. It's become tradition and it's one of my all-time favorite movies.
Note to self......Acquire groundhog, contact Emily with enormously outrageous price, buy new truck! 😁
good job with this one. Nice talk at the end. Yes I agree we could all be Phil. The simple idea that all days, any day could be the same. Different days you could say is still just one day - and you can do whatever you want with that day. Also at the same time it could be your last day, any day could be your last day... but Rita might say actually it could be the first day of the rest of your life, she had that different outlook that turned Phil around.
A couple recommended movies
Teenage mutant ninja turtles 1990
Weekend at Bernie’s
And the only accurate zombie film. Weekend at Bernies 2
Bill Murray sort of revisited this film a few years ago, when he did a Super Bowl commercial for Jeep.
My top 5 movies of all time !
Gosh I love this movie. I saw it in the theatre with my girlfriend in 10th grade. It's one of my favorite all time.
