Phil the weatherman abducts Phil the groundhog and drives off the cliff at the rock quarry, where the truck explodes and they are killed. But since Phil (Bill Murray) is reliving the same day over and over, he wakes up the next day alive, and that day, and their deaths, never happened.

Not exactly perhaps, but *****SPOILER***** the main character tries to pressure the woman he's interested in into staying and having sex with him, when she wants to leave. Later he changes to be less selfish and the film ends with them in a relationship together

Phil engages in stalkerish behaviors when he first tries to get together with Rita, including learning small details about her life and interests so that he can impress her with them.

A groundhog dies in an explosion and you hear it scream. The film famously takes place in a time loop, however, so the death arguably didn’t occur and the groundhog is alive by the end of the film.

There is a scene where he tries to convince Rita to sleep with him and kisses her repeatedly despite her being hesitant. He doesn't actually assault her and she leaves but it can be uncomfortable to watch.

Phil has a lengthy mental breakdown, at one point stating that he's been stuck in the loop so long (and died so many times) that he "doesn't even exist any more". It shows.

The film takes place in a 24-hour time loop where the protagonist wakes up at 6 AM on Groundhog Day regardless of what happened in the previous loop. The protagonist commits suicide in a variety of ways (including driving a car off a cliff, jumping off a building, and electrocuting himself in a bath with a toaster) but always wakes up at the beginning of the next loop. No characters are permanently dead by suicide by the end of the film, but themes of suicide and wishing to die are explored throughout the film.

Phil states that he's been stuck in the loop so long he's become "a god", and wonders if God is actually omnipotent, or just someone who has been around long enough to know everything. This is framed as part of his ongoing breakdown, and nobody thinks he has a point.
