The State Theatre, M&T Bank and The Ithaca times continue The Classic Movie Series with comedy classic "Groundhog Day" on Friday, February 2nd at 7:30pm.
Misanthropic TV weatherman/broadcaster, Phil Connors, (Played by Bill Murray) is annoyed and despondent when he's assigned the job of covering the annual Groundhog festivities in the small "Hick" town of Punxsutawney - making this his fourth in a row.
The only noticeable upside is his attractive and good-natured producer. But the real nightmare begins when Phil ends up reliving the same day (Groundhog Day) over, and over again. Unable to leave the town due to a severe blizzard, and with no end in sight, Phil struggles to find a way to escape (and ultimately make the best of) his seemingly hopeless situation.
