For all you lovers of the movie Groundhog Day (and the rest of you who should be), here's a video with Quinn Keefe from the Woodstock (IL) Chamber of Commerce. Quinn leads you on a tour of my city, Woodstock, IL, as it was experienced in Groundhog Day. We watch the DVD often in my house. It's a great family movie that also makes you think...BING!
Anyone care to add a favorite quote or moment from the movie?
Steve, the best scene in the movie has to be when Phil is letting the groundhog drive and says, "Don't drive angry! Don't... drive... angry." Gotta be one of the best scenes of any Bill Murray movie.

Steve,
Wasn't Planes, Trains and Automobiles (featuring Steve Martin and the late John Candy) filmed in Woodstock as well?
Sincerely,

"Dated your sister Mary Pat 'till you told me not to. Got the shingles real bad senior year. Almost didn't graduate. Bing again!"

Phil: What would you do if you were stuck in one place and every day was exactly the same, and nothing that you did mattered?
Ralph: That about sums it up for me.

The bit where he thumps Ned is classic.

"There's talk of a blizzard."
"Well we may catch a break and that blizzard's gonna blow right by us. All of this moisture coming up out of the south by midday is probably gonna push on to the east of us and at high altitudes it's going to crystallize and give us what we call snow; probably going to be some accumulation. But here in Punxsutawney our high is gonna get up to about 30 today, teens tonight, chance for precipitation about 20% today, 20% tomorrow. Did you wanna talk about the weather or were you just making chit-chat?"

Smashes alarm clock.....still plays, 'I got you babe'.
'Once again the eyes of the nations have turned to this tiny village in Western Pennsylvania. Blah-bla-bla-bla-blah!
There is no way that this winter is ever going to end as long as this groundhog keeps seeing his shadow. I don't see any other way out. He's got to be stopped! (pause) And I have to stop him.'

Also the part when he tries to drive away in the blizzard and the cop says you can either can freeze to death or go back to Punxsutawney .
'I'm thinking!'

I love the Jeopardy scene. The reactions of the other folks watching the show are great.
