Groundhog Day (1993)
Classic Bill Murray. Grumpy, irritated, off-the-wall-bonkers, yet still charming and funny.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Howdy folks! I do hope you'll indulge me for doing my first non-movie-related post; I'm just excited to share our brand new bar shelving, and a few seasonal cocktails I've totally been crushing on lately but was too impatient to wait for the right films to pair them with. So here are a few freebies!
