By Mark A. Leon

If you have to live the same day over and over again, who else could pull it off with wit, style and a little sneakiness than the incomparable Bill Murray.  He won the heart of Andie McDowell and a small Pennsylvania town as he repeated Groundhog Day over and over and over and over again.  He made us laugh, cry and even took a fun ride with the famous groundhog himself.

Let us celebrate this festive holiday with some of the best quotes from ‘Groundhog Day’
