Superbad I might be in the minority when it comes to Caddyshack. I've never understood why people find it so funny and rate it as such a classic. Chevy, Rodney and Bill have their moments in it but i've never found it to be anything that special overall. Certainly not worth the high praise it seems to get all the time. Can someone please explain to me what's so great about it that way I can give it another chance.

It's basically a Marx Brothers movie where plot is way down on the list of priorities. The point is to make you laugh as loud as possible. For me Caddyshack accomplishes that every time I watch it. Caddyshack is classic. Something is wrong if you don't bust a seam laughing during the baby ruth scene. And the lines are classic. Carl Spackler: So I jump ship in Hong Kong and I make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. Angie D'Annunzio: A looper? Carl Spackler: A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-lagunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice. Or how about this classic: Carl Spackler: This crowd has gone deadly silent, a Cinderella story outta nowhere. Former greenskeeper and now about to become the masters champion...Cinderella story. Outta nowhere. A former greenskeeper, now, about to become the Masters champion. It looks like a mirac... It's in the hole! It's in the hole! It's in the hole! Yet another. Judge Smails: You know, you should play with Dr. Beeper and myself. I mean, he's been club champion for three years running and I'm no slouch myself. Ty Webb: Don't sell yourself short Judge, you're a tremendous slouch. Sorry but Caddyshack is hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think that's where it loses it for me. I look at my list of favorite comedies, and all of them have a fairly coherent plot to move the story along while you're laughing. Interestingly, I just saw most of a biography on Caddyshack, and that's very much how it was filmed - a LOT of stuff was ad-libbed and scenes were hastily written on the spot or the day before, etc. They had to piece together a movie in the editing room, and it wasn't easy. That just confirmed what I always felt about the movie, that it had that haphazard quality to it. Funny in parts, but nowhere near one of my fave comedies.

Now that I know a bit about the story behind how it was made maybe I can appreciate it a little more now. I don't have it on DVD or anything so i'll have to wait and see when it's being shown on TV again and watch it. Also, I can't believe that I forgot to put this on my original list and that so many others forgot it to but 'Planes, Trains, and Automobiles' needs to be mentioned here as well. I haven't seen it in awhile so I guess it slipped my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great movie and one of my favorite comedies to be sure... but I love SO MANY comedies, I could list hundreds. I've seen several posted in this thread that I didn't list in my Top Ten, but which I definitely love. My favorite part was that guy, Owen, who picked them up outside the motel. Of his pregnant wife, he says: "She's short and skinny, but she's strong. Her first baby... come out sideways. She didn't scream or nothing." And he kept making that weird sound with his nose!
