Actress Andie MacDowell Says A GROUNDHOG DAY Sequel Is Never Going To Happen

Groundhog Day is a film someone can watch again, and again, and again, but don’t ever expect the film to have a sequel. That’s what actress Andie MacDowell said anyway, as she told THR the chances of the film ever getting a sequel are incredibly slim due to the fact that Bill Murray would never go for it:

“People always say, ‘Let’s do Groundhog Day again.’ First of all, Bill Murray’s never going to do it, so you can forget that. I know him. He’s not going to do it.”

I’m more surprised at the news there are still people clamoring for a Groundhog Day sequel than I am that Bill Murray isn’t down to do another film. It’s a good film, don’t get me wrong, but why would we need a sequel for it? That said, in the rhetorical scenario that one was made, would you see it in theaters?

Top 10 movie Comedies

The funniest movies tend to burrow into our brains like no other form of popular entertainment. Through repeated viewings and earworm quotes, they create unconscious templates for life’s milestones and stopovers — dating, road trips, the college experience, marriage, the working world — and remind us of moments in time as well as entire eras. They’re comfort food and therapy, high art and cultural critique, nestled lovingly amid fart jokes and crotch punches.

The best comedy movies also enjoy a freedom that seems out of place in most other media, with run-times that allow them to develop complicated but self-contained worlds, the full buffet of acting, editing, and musical options, and the (frequent) R ratings that give them the appropriate range of artistic motion. “Comedy is subjective,” we’re constantly told. Maybe, but if something stays funny for decades it’s clearly reaching across cultures and contexts to tweak our collective nipples for a reason.

Here are our picks for the best of the best. for this top 10 list! Continue reading
