Groundhog Day


Woodstock, Illinois is a tiny hamlet known for a few things, most notably as the backdrop for one of the most critically acclaimed films of the last 20 years: Groundhog Day.

Religious leaders have hailed the film as one of the top spiritual movies of all time. The term "Groundhog Day" took on an entirely knew meaning: a metaphor for living the same day over and over again.
