Your mention of it also ties in quite neatly with something i was going to bring up. We have collective comfort films in our family, or rather films that we have all seen so many times that we can quote endlessly to each other. Particular phrases enter our family's vocabulary. For example a cry of 'It's Groundhog Day!' usually accompanies any moment of deja vu we might experience. <br><br>Our other adopted films include So I Married An Axe Murderer : 'Heed Move! Will you look at the size of that cranium? It's like a virtual planetoid!' 'She smelt of soup' ect, Life of Brian (too many quotes to mention), While You Were Sleeping: 'You're cheating on a vegetable.' Benny & Joon:" 'You're out of your tree' 'It's not my tree' " And additionally numerous bits of dialogue from Friends.<br><br>As mentioned before, it's got nothing to do with the quality of the films.<br><br>Gosh yes - definitely do a Groundhog Show Jett. I think as time goes on there seems to be more and more a case for you guys discussing topics like these on the show and talking about old stuff as well as new.
