If I had to pick a favourite film, it would be Groundhog Day, directed by Harold Ramis. For years I’ve wondererd what it would be like to watch the film every day for a year, but, unlike this guy, I never got round to it. The key line of dialogue may be Bill Murray’s melancholy musings, to a pair of drunks in a bar: “What would you do if you were stuck in one place, and every day was exactly the same, and nothing you did mattered?” Yet, despite the high-concept premise, the film never flags. I might have to watch it every day for a year, as well, to really understand how the trick was accomplished...
