"Caddyshack" is one of the classic late 70's/early 80's comedies, featuring one of the best line-ups from the who's who of funnymen.
The story takes place primarily on the links of an exclusive country club. Its members include the wisdom-spouting Ty Webb, loudmouth Al Czervik, the arrogant Judge Smails, and the oddest groundskeeper on the planet, Carl. And don't forget about that darned gopher...
To this day, "Caddyshack" remains one of the funniest movies ever made. And unsurprisingly, it is a classic among golfers (although...realistically...how many golf movies can you name off the top of your head???). While Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, and Ted Knight get their share of the laughs, it is the late Rodney Dangerfield who steals this movie with his classic one-liners. While in the pro shop, he picks up a hat and exclaims, "Why, when you buy a hat like this, I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh?" Upon turning and seeing Judge Smails wearing the same hat, he pauses, and adds, "Oh, it looks good on you, though".
If you're looking for a good laugh, "Caddyshack" is a sure hole-in-one. Unless the gopher steals your ball.

I love this movie, especially the gopher and Carl.
The gopher/Carl scenes were excellent. I've always been a huge Rodney Dangerfield fan, so I absolutely loved him in this movie, too.
