GROUNDHOG DAY 30th Anniversary

In 1993, The Washington Post said that GROUNDHOG DAY will never be designated a national film treasure by the Library of Congress. 13 years later, The National Film Registry selected the film for preservation. Well-liked and commercially successful upon its initial release, this touching, wise, deceptively simple film has found far more acclaim in the years since its release and is now considered one of the greatest films of all time. Like the way in which Bill Murray?s weatherman becomes a better person with each repeated day, GROUNDHOG DAY increases in depth with repeated viewings.
