Groundhog Day can be found to stream online, but viewers won’t be able to access the comedy on Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime in the US. Directed by Harold Ramis, the 1993 film stars Bill Murray as a weatherman covering the Groundhog Day events in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania before becoming trapped in a time loop. Also featuring supporting cast members like Andie MacDowell, Chris Elliot, and Stephen Tobolowsky, Groundhog Day was considered a box office success, and it has since been garnered as one of the best comedies of all time.

Groundhog Day centers on cynical Pittsburgh weatherman Phil Connors (Murray) as he’s accompanied by his producer, Rita (MacDowell), and cameraman, Larry (Elliot), to attend the annual events surrounding traditional February 2nd festivities. Phil isn’t too keen on the assignment, acting as though the celebration of a groundhog predicting the weather is beneath him. After a blizzard traps him in Punxsutawney an extra night, Phil wakes up to find that he’s reliving the same day over and over again. The situation drives Phil over the edge (literally on one occasion), but it also gives him time to analyze his past behavior.

Ramis’ comedy continues to be a significant title in pop culture. In fact, the term “Groundhog Day” is now used to describe a repetitive situation that usually involves a negative experience. While there has never been a Groundhog Day 2, a sequel did come in the form of a video game in 2019, titled Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son. For those looking to celebrate the tradition by watching the comedy, a price tag might be required.
