    Does the saying 'Groundhog day' meaning a repetitive day come from the film or does it pre date it?

    I’m sure it comes from the film
    The observance of Groundhog Day in the United States first occurred in German communities in Pennsylvania, according to known records.

    The earliest mention of Groundhog Day is a February 2, 1840 entry in the diary of James L. Morris of Morgantown, Pennsylvania, in Pennsylvania Dutch Country, according to the book on the subject by Don Yoder. This was a Welsh enclave but the diarist was commenting on his neighbors who were of German stock.

    As you state, the repetitiveness originated in the film.

    Sorry Paulie but I’ve not enjoyed a Star Wars film since The Original Star Wars ( whatever they are calling it now ) and The Empire Strikes Back . They do nothing for me whatsoever but you are more than welcome to recommend The Force Awakens . The irony is , it put me to sleep !!

    Is it the vampire film which has Ben Foster in it? If so, I'm surprised you recommended it as film of the day! :joy:
    I saw this at the cinema when it came out and I absolutely loved it . Hence the recommendation
