➱ STORYLINE:
Caddyshack (1980) is a comedy classic set at the exclusive Bushwood Country Club, where the snobs and the slobs clash in hilarious fashion. The story centers on Danny Noonan, a young caddy who works at the club to earn money for college. Danny tries to win the favor of Judge Smails, the pompous club president, to secure a college scholarship. Meanwhile, the club is thrown into chaos by the antics of its eccentric members, including the free-spirited golfer Ty Webb, the loud and obnoxious Al Czervik, and the obsessive groundskeeper Carl Spackler, who is determined to rid the golf course of a pesky gopher. The film is a riotous mix of slapstick humor, memorable one-liners, and outrageous characters.

➱ TRIVIA
- Carl Spackler was originally a silent character in the script, in the manner of Harpo Marx, but after Bill Murray was cast, Harold Ramis encouraged Murray to speak and improvise.
- A big hill was built from scratch for the climactic 18th-hole scene, because the country club did not want its course blown up. The pyrotechnic people used too many explosives, which completely destroyed the hill and caused planes flying by to report the explosion, as if a plane had crashed there.
