Caddyshack (1980)

Part two of our sports comedy pairing features the film ESPN claimed might be the funniest sports comedy ever! Directed by Harold Ramis (his first time in the chair), 1980's "Caddyshack" follows (sort-of) the story of caddie Danny Noonan (Michael O'Keefe) who works at Bushwood Country Club. After normally caddying for resident golfing semi-pro Ty Webb (Chevy Chase), Danny volunteers to caddie for the snobby Judge Elihu Smalls (Ted Baxter) in the hopes of earning the coveted Caddie Scholarship. While the unstable groundskeeper Carl Spackler (Bill Murray) hunts a particularly pernicious gopher intent on destroying the golf course, the Judge must deal with a newcomer, Al Czervik (Rodney Dangerfield) whose irreverent attitude and loud mouth offends all the blue-bloods in the club. Throw in a love triangle between Danny, his girlfriend and co-worker at the club Maggie O'Hoolihan (Salah Halcomb) and rich girl Lacey Underall (Cindy Morgan), and you end up with a cult favorite that, despite its age, still stands up as one of the funniest golf movies in film history. Plus, the trio announce which two films starring veteran actor and superstar Sam Neill, who passed away in July of 2026, will make up their next pairing.
