HAROLD RAMIS’S BRILLIANT “GROUNDHOG DAY” IS A CLASSIC
Not only did Harold Ramis come from Chicago, our home town, but he was responsible for one of our favorite movies of all time – Groundhog Day. Described as a “philosophical comedy” – it gave Bill Murray perhaps the best role of his lifetime. Who could ever forget Murray’s unlikeable character waking up EVERY morning to his clock radio playing Sonny & Cher’s “I Got You Babe” and reliving the day before? And the day repeated until he got it right. Harold Ramis was one of those rare smart AND funny comedy writers, and he will be missed. (Above, Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell)
