With Groundhog Day just round the corner on Feb 2., it's time for the annual rewatch of the 1993 film "Groundhog Day".

The film featuring Bill Murray and Andie McDowell in the lead is "riotous romantic comedy about a weatherman caught in a personal time warp on the worst day of his life," according to Columbia Pictures.

Murray's character in the film, Phil Connors is sent to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to cover the annual Groundhog Day festivities along with colleagues Rita and Larry. However, the group gets caught in a blizzard and ends up getting stuck in a small-town.

"Just when things couldn't get any worse, they do," reads the film's synopsis. "Phil wakes the next morning to find it's Groundhog Day all over again… and again… and again."
