Harold Ramis, Bill Murray and his brothers John and Brian all used to caddy for rich folks during their youth, and in 1980 they decided to take events which happened to them and pipe them into a sports movie which is now regarded as one of the greatest sports comedies of all time.

While I personally disagree with that sentiment, Caddyshack has done enough to garner a cult following and does boast some genuine laugh out loud moments.

For me, it is the incidental comedy that gives the biggest guffaws; Judge Elihu Smails (Ted Knight) spinning in his chair to smooth talk caddy Danny Noonan (Michael O'Keefe) and finding his view blocked by a giant lamp, or throwing a putter…

The 2nd best thing about this film is Rodney Dangerfield. Who not only has a cool name but is a very funny, over the top, obnoxious Italian American.

The best thing about this film was me and my misinterpretation of a section of dialogue. I thought Rodney Dangerfield said "If you own anything but land, you own a popcorn fart" then lifted a cheek and farted at the dining table full of guests, following with "Oh, did somebody step in a dog crap?"

My own tears and laughter blinded and deafened me so I had to pause the film for a couple of minutes whilst my girlfriend laughed at me laughing harder and eventually I regained my composure.

Later, wanting…

Caddyshack is usually considered to be one of the greatest comedies of all time... and 30 years after it's release, it still stands up. Most of that credit probably goes to the strong performances by Chase, Murray, Knight and Dangerfield.

You could probably argue that this is Bill Murray's best performance... or even Chevy Chase's... but each time I see this, I enjoy more and more the Dangerfield/Knight scenes. Watching Rodney push Ted Knight's buttons from one scene to the next is just hilarious, and there aren't too many people that can portray blow-your-top frustration like Ted Knight.

The main story involving the "straight" characters is good enough... it's the peppering in of scenes with all the outrageous characters that…

This is another one of those "classic" comedies from the generation before mine that I decided to finally check off my list of things to do.

Like a lot of comedies from this time period, there didn't seem to be much of a plot to me. I imagine the pitch process for Caddyshack going something like this:

Harold Ramis walks into a studio executive's office and says, " I want to direct another comedy."

The studio exec asks, "A comedy about what?"

Harold Ramis glances around the office, eyes locking on a calendar hanging on the wall with a photo of a golf course on it. "A golf course," he says at long last.

The studio exec scratches his chin,…
