True to the film, somehow Groundhog Day is right around the corner. With it, many viewers will be looking for ways to tune into Harold Ramis’ classic film of the same name. Traditionally, many cities and movie theaters offer 24-hour marathons of Groundhog Day on February 2, but this year the tradition might look a bit different. At-home viewers looking to duplicate their marathon experience and casual viewers alike have plenty of options to stream Groundhog Day from the comfort of their couches.
Groundhog Day follows Phil (Bill Murray), a weatherman covering the annual Groundhog Day celebration in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, as he gets caught in a time loop and is forced to relive the same day, February 2, over and over. Throughout the film, Phil gradually goes from realizing he’s in a time loop and wreaking havoc to attempting to perform good deeds in the town, all with the intent of winning over Rita (Andie MacDowell). Eventually, so much time passes within the loop that Phil is able to learn new skills, help the townspeople, and catch Rita’s eye
