Why this pairing works
Back to the Future makes time travel a breathless family emergency. Groundhog Day slows the same idea down until changing yourself becomes the only way forward.
Play them in this order
Back to the Future first for momentum; Groundhog Day second for the comedown.
Intermission assignment
At intermission, choose the day you would happily repeat—and the one you absolutely would not.
