STRIPES is a spirited, almost anarchic comedic romp through army life. Of course, the plot development half way through becomes improbable, but it links well with the original premise.

GROUNDHOG DAY is a sublime piece. The subtle changes in plot to work in the circular time reference are precisely done. Murray displays a delicate performance, with the right amount of comedic timing, with the necessary seriousness to keep the plot ticking along.

Murray has undertaken a number of films, but these two, particularly presented in a package, reveal Bill Murray at his best.
