1980 Directed by Harold Ramis
At an exclusive country club, an ambitious young caddy, Danny Noonan, eagerly pursues a caddy scholarship in hopes of attending college and, in turn, avoiding a job at the lumber yard. In order to succeed, he must first win the favour of the elitist Judge Smails, and then the caddy golf tournament which Smails sponsors.

Clube dos Pilantras - 1980, Caddyshack - Wahnsinn ohne Handicap
An absolutely off-brand and underwhelming last film to watch this decade, but a great time nonetheless.
Though it has certainly aged in some relative parts forty years after its release, Caddyshack nevertheless delivers the genuine laughs for the most part in this relatively plotless sports comedy classic.
Since this thin narrative doesn't exactly make Caddyshack stand out from my personal perspective, the film still does have its fair share of hilarity that sustainably manages to be consistently entertaining just about always, even if some of the humor in here doesn't quite land the mark at times.
Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Rodney Dangerfield, and Ted Knight are all the established actors that give this film its comedic classic status and for a solid reason too, as they all ham it up well in their distinctive roles and without a doubt make Caddyshack reasonably effective rather than the direct opposite ultimately.
I’m almost 40 years old, I have seen this movie approximately 4,000 times, and until today I never got the dirty joke in the name of country club.
I was sitting at work earlier today when I heard the news that Harold Ramis has passed away at the age of 69. I had to stop what I was doing and take a moment to absorb the news. I was obviously saddened by the loss, but that was mixed with a few smiles as I recognized just how much joy the man had brought to my life.
Ramis wrote Animal House, Ghostbusters, and Groundhog Day, three comedy classics that are probably loved more now than they were upon their release. These are the types of films that don't need to be revisited to recall why they are beloved, as all you need to do is say the titles and…
I kinda think early-to-mid-80s Chevy Chase is one of the best movie stars we've ever had.
This masterpiece of cinematic art is going to put last humanity and be worshiped by a group of feral kids surviving off the wasteland.
Historians will say this was where Cinema peaked.
I think at some point we all need to realise that until the 90s came along, people just weren’t very funny.
Hello Mr. Gopher
It’s me, Mr. Squirrel
Here's an overrated comedy with exactly two and a half reasons to watch:
I’ll leave the math to you.
Just a harmless squirrel
Not a plastic explosive or anything.
Nothing to be worried about
More a series of scenes skillfully engineered for maximum hilarity than a cohesive, narratively streamlined sports comedy, Harold Ramis' "Caddyshack, offers an extremely enjoyable comedic experience. A blend of silly and smart, minor parody and subtle satire, the film boasts a terrific cast, memorable characters, and iconic moments of mirth on its way to sinking a putt as a top-tier comedy gem.
"Caddyshack," more or less, is a about a young golf caddy's attempt to win a prestigious scholarship that will yank him into college as opposed to staying in an early adulthood spent laboring. That narrative through-line may drive the plot, but the film's side characters and subplots are what make it all worth watching as pros, groundskeepers, and…
When I say every single time I truly mean it.... Every single time anyone brings up movies my dad asks me if I’ve seen Caddyshack. Literally every single time
I miss 80’s Chevy Chase and Rodney Dangerfield. Thank goodness Bill Murray is still great. ❤️
Bill Murray, Chevy Chase and Rodney Dangerfield! Goofy but hilarious! The only thing I don’t like is the gopher!
It's in the hole!
Look, as a kid you cannot appreciate all the amazing humor in this movie. I thought the best scene was the Baby Ruth scene.
Now, nothing makes me laugh harder than Bill Murray as an extremely mentally ill man talking to himself while building bombs in a shed. "Licensed to kill gophers by the government of the United Nations."
Nowadays a lot of people will say this movie is offensive, but it's not. It's comedy with the original gods of comedy. The men who made SNL a household name.
This movie is and always will be a true gem.
Weird how Chevy Chase and Rodney Dangerfield were top-billed when the real stars are Ted Knight, Bill Murray, and the gopher; also weird how so many cringeworthy stereotypes in this movie were no big deal in 1980
Great comedy hands down! The cast in this is fantastic, and the humor works on every point! Definitely deserves to be considered as a comedy classic from the 80’s!
Sommige Hollywood-ideeën lijken op papier geen schijn van kans te hebben. Met alle respect voor de fervente liefhebbers, maar ons lijkt golf toch zowat de saaiste sport die er is. En een komedie over de golfsport lijkt op het eerste gezicht ook een synoniem voor een onafwendbaar fiasco, maar de film uit 1980 werd niet alleen een gigantische hit, het werd ook één van de meest komische Amerikaanse films aller tijden. Een gok zo veel is zeker, maar de Warner-studio had maar één hoop en dat was dat Harold Ramis die het scenario schreef voor Animal House met hetzelfde team ook de kassa’s kon doen rinkelen voor Caddyshack. Gelukkig liep het goed af, want ook al waren de opnames één…
Boring and unfunny.
What’s worrisome is that this is said to be the better of the two.
I've tried over the years watching this movie and I can never get into it that much. There's a couple funny scenes but the humor in this movie is not my kind of thing. I'm not even a fan of that generation (pretty much SNL as a whole) of comedians nor am I a big comedian guy in general. Now I've always tried watching this movie to understand what's so funny about it but I don't think it's funny. I think it's a generational thing but at the same time I find Airplane funny and certain comedies from the 60s and 70s funny so I don't know.
