Bill Murray and Harold Ramis

The Big Picture In 1993, Bill Murray starred in what is arguably his best and most popular film when he played weatherman, Phil Connors, in the hilarious time loop comedy, Groundhog Day. Written by Danny Rubin, Groundhog Day is one of the greatest feel good movies, with a complex story about second chances and how true happiness waits when we learn to live for others — not just for ourselves.

Release Date February 11, 1993 Director Harold Ramis Cast Bill Murray , Andie MacDowell , Chris Elliott , Stephen Tobolowsky , Brian Doyle-Murray , Marita Geraghty Main Genre Comedy Writers Danny Rubin , Harold Ramis Runtime 101 minutes Studio Columbia Pictures Worked Together on 'Stripes' and 'Ghostbusters' Close When you think of together, Ghostbusters will probably come to mind first, and that's understandable.

Ramis' daughter, Violet Ramis Stiel, wrote about the fallout between her father and her godfather, Bill Murray, in her book, Ghostbuster's Daughter: Life with My Dad, Harold Ramis. Stiel wrote that Murray was going through a difficult time in his life, as his marriage with Margaret Kelly was in bad shape, and by 1996, they would be divorced. Stiel also wrote that her dad and Bill Murray couldn't agree on the tone for Groundhog Day.

"They had a few arguments on set, including one in which my dad uncharacteristically lost his temper and grabbed Bill by the collar, and shoved him up against a wall. Eventually, Bill just completely shut my dad out...for the next twenty-plus years."
