Caddyshack

[tophcfa]

Released 45 years ago today. Arguably the funniest movie ever made, and without a doubt the most quoted movie of all time. During the filming the script was basically scrapped and the movie became an impromptu performance by a bunch of comedians snorting cocaine and drinking booze. They most certainly don’t make movies like they did back in the day. Long live Caddyshack.

Very funny. The only comedy that would compete is its a mad mad mad mad world

Caddyshack and Animal House. Two movies that will never be bested.

I would add The Dude (The Big Labowski) to make it a trifecta.

[Jayhawk]

Be the ball.

[Caymus]

I would add "Young Frankenstein" to the list, or one of the other classic Mel Brooks movies.

Mel Brooks made a lot of really funny movies. His niece is on Talk of the Villages once in a while.


I will have to check out Caddyshack again.

Wow I was just 20something. Where does time go?

Agreed. Rodney Dangerfield was at his best in that one.

I saw maybe one movie a week in 1980. List of American films of 1980 - Wikipedia (https://share.google/3xugeyWQdS8Av0cxj)


The Big Red One - Wikipedia (https://share.google/ThiqtvNCPhiXmi2zv). I probably would have gone to this one that week.

IMO “ Mars attack” right up there with them.

[Hape2Bhr]

I'd place "Airplane" in there too (also 1980).

You scratched my anchor

The Boatniks?

starring phil silvers, and a few other told time comedians. .

[thevillages2013]

The Hollywood Knights Tony Danza and Michelle Pfeiffer circa 1980

Absolutely. I must've seen it 20 times and every time I find things to laugh at that I missed the last times I watched it.

You'd never see a movie like that made today though. After they'd get done cutting all the parts that offended this-or-that group, you'd have a "movie" maybe 20 minutes long.

[Mrfriendly]

you’ll get nothing, and like it!

Rodney Dangerfield was hilarious in that movie.That was my last year of high school and remember how we would constantly repeat the crazy lines that Rodney had in that movie. The top ones were “Hey, loosen up, will ya? You're a lot of woman, you know that? Yeah, wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?” and "Did someone step on a duck?“ Diffinately one of the best movies ever!

[Bwanajim]

I lived a block away from the Rolling Hills golf course when they made the movie

Airplane would be in top 5. Sad that we cannot laugh at oursleves anymore.

Before 1980 (1974), but must not forget "Blazing Saddles". :jester:barf:cus::censored:

My two favorite scenes were when he ate the “turd” in the pool and loved every time the gopher came up and danced from the hole.

[Worldseries27]

Non stop physical and comedic comedy topped off by " alleged" cocaine fueled autos on a mission from god with the mantra , " our lady of blessed acceleration, dont fail me now", hit songs, aretha franklyn , tv driveway party shows. What more can you ask for?

[UpNorth]

Caddyshack got poor reviews and did not do well at the box office when it first came out. The writer, Doug Kenny, got so depressed that he killed himself by jumping off a cliff in Hawaii about a month later. It was Rodney Dangerfield's first movie, and he thought his performance was poor since there wasn't a live audience out there laughing at his jokes. And the course was so brown they had to dye the grass green.
