Funny movies are a dime a dozen, but only a few gather a following of fans that like to recite movie quotes on a regular basis. I believe that the 80's classic movie, Caddyshack, is the most notorious of them all. There isn't a day in my life that goes by without me making reference to one of my favorite Caddyshack Quotes. What's even better is when your efforts are recognized by one of your fellow Caddyshack connoisseurs. This blog is for those Caddyshack fans that want to brush up on their movie lines, discuss this classic film, and maybe even get some cool Caddyshack Quotes T-Shirts and Gifts.
For those that aren't familiar with the movie Caddyshack, or have seen it before but don't really remember much about it, here are some of the basics. The story involves a young golf caddy, Danny Noonan, who wants to go to law school, but is in need of a mentor that can help him get there. Will he continue to run around in circles by listening to the zany and often confusing advice of zen golfer, Ty Webb? Or, will he sell his soul and pander to Bushwood Country Club's top dog and ultimate cheap skate, Judge Smails? In the end, its up to the loud and obnoxious millionaire land developer, Al Czervik, to tap into Danny's talents as a golfer and save the day. In the middle, you have an epic struggle of survival between a shell shocked assistant greenskeeper, Carl Spackler, and a gopher hell bent on destroying the golf course. It doesn't get any crazier than that.
What makes the movie so great is the talent and contrasting styles of the four comic legends involved, Bill Murray, Rodney Dangerfield, Chevy Chase, and Ted Knight. Caddyshack Director, Harold Ramis, brilliantly allows his characters to go off script and what he ends up with are some of the best improvisational scenes, featuring some of the most memorable quotes, in film history. If you ever buy the Caddyshack DVD, be sure to watch the making of Caddyshack as you will learn some interesting and little known fact about the movie. Gunga Galunga!
