These days time loops are basically their own genre. But no one — not a single one — has ever really matched the comedic genius that is 1993’s Groundhog Day.
The tale of how weatherman Phil Connors relives his nightmare, yet slowly turns it into a dream, is one I could personally watch again and again while stuck in my own personal time loop.
You have some overeating, some irresponsible drinking, some self-mutilation, and A LOT of Sonny & Cher.

The answer is: 33 years. How long does it take to memorize every moment of a day, learn every detail about the person you love, and get really good at playing piano?Turns out there’s no neat explanation — director Harold Ramis himself provided contradictory answers.
