LOVE Groundhog Day.
Classic. It is one of those movies, like many Ramis was involved with, that even if it turns up on commercial TV on TBS or something, you actually stop to watch anyways because it is so good.

Eh, it was just okay.

Vacation is an all timer.

It is amazing how many truly outstanding all timer movies he was involved with.

And while celebrities dying usually doesn't bug me, this does.

Probably the most significant loss since George Carlin IMO.

At least in terms of making me laugh, which is pretty damned important from how I see things.

Ghostbusters is an alltimer for me...it is weird to see guys like him go. 69 seems old for him too...did not realize it.

That's easily one of my 5 favorite comedies ever.

Like I said earlier, I consider the era of his prime to be my golden age of movies.

They fart in the general direction of the "comedies" of this era.
