Spent the first eighteen years of my life in Woodstock. I'm intimately familiar with every square inch of Woodstock, worked at the Theater, the cafe next to the Opera House, bowled in that alley, That was my childhood. Thank you for this video.

When you're flipping through channels, and come across Groundhog Day, you stop and watch it. Doesn't matter if it's half way through. I can only think of a few movies that have that ability.

I grew up in Woodstock. It hasn't changed at all since I was younger. I remember the filming that year . There are plaques and pictures all over the town in the shops and outside. Find the famous alley.... If anyone has a day to kill in the Chicago area, come visit it, they have maps of all the filming locations around town.. Great Job on this Video!!!!!!

Thank you for making such a wonderful documentary. I first rented Groundhog Day back in 1994 only to discover that the last 15 minutes of the tape was garbled. I rented it again a year later from a different movie store but the tape refused to play and automatically ejected. A few years later it was coming on TV so I set the VCR to record but had it in SP instead of LP and the tape ran out. Around 5 years ago, I bought the DVD and finally got to see the end of the movie after 20 years. It was worth the wait.

The Movie is realy special to me, i saw it with my Dad in cinema when i was a Kid and it was moslty a comedy movie to me. I watched it 2 Weeks ago and i realy enjoyed it, something about the setting, the city and the atmosphere realy sucks me in every time. You also get the more mature themes of the Movie when you are older. I watched of behind the scenes videos and now this pops up, i cant wait for this Episode.

At the time of filming, I taught at Waukegan High School. The highway closed by snowstorm scene ("I make the weather") was filmed on the Amstutz expressway (then Waukegan's 1.4 mile highway to nowhere). Some of my students went to watch the filming for lunch and came back proud that by yelling at Bill Murray, he gave them the finger! The Amstutz has been used for a number of movies and TV shows starting with A Wedding (1978) because it was a multi-lane highway that was easily blocked off.It was the first part of a lakefront expressway to Chicago that was never built.

I drove past that area while they were filming to pick my son up for Cub Scouts. Then a few days later I’m going down that stretch of road and I noticed it looked like we just had a winter snowstorm which didn’t make sense to me because it was May or June. I figured it out a little bit later.

Little-known movie trivia. Harold Ramis first claimed that Phil was stuck in Groundhog day for ten years, ut later upped it to 30 - 40 years counting all his misadventures then counting how long it would take to gain mastery in the skills he displayed like the piano and ice carving.
