SuperDave 541 Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 For best I say Caddyshack. Definitely, the funniest. I recently scene a deleted scene that I can't believe didn't make it in the final cut. Check it out on YouTube. It's another scene with Chevy Chase and Bill Murray. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbil8802 801 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I have to go with Happy Gilmore. Loved that movie growing up.

Undershooter 4,132 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Caddyshack and Tin cup are 1 and 2 for me. I do like both the Legend of Bagger, and the Greatest Game Ever Played as well. Happy Gilmore is awesome but for some reason I don't think about it as a golf movie.

Kenny B 32,480 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 My wife and I quote Caddyshack ALL the time, so...

Jmikecpa 13,444 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Caddyshack is far and away my favorite movie ever.

revkev 25,176 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Caddyshack, Bagger vance, Bobby Jones story, greatest game ever played, happy gilmore, tin cup (would be higher but Peter Jacobsen wins). Love the goldfinger scene but a special plug to golf mentions in Seinfeldt and Curb Your enthusiasm. I love the one where Larry David ticks off the clubhouse boy who then "mistakenly" sends David's favorite club to be buried with a dead guy.

sp0rtsfan86 924 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I may be in the minority. I hated bagger vance. I called the ending halfway through the movie. Tin Cup is great just because it's not the ending that you'd think Hollywood would love. Happy Gilmore is solid from an absurd point of view. Caddy shack is on another level though. Murray and Chase were amazing in those roles and just the solid jokes and bits were great. 1 Quote Driver: Epic Flash 12 Degree Wood: GBB 3 Wood Hybrid: Razr 4 hybriid stiff stock shaft.

Murray and Chase were amazing in those roles and just the solid jokes and bits were great.The best thing about Caddy Shack is at least 50% of the movie was ad libbed. And that may be short changing it a little. The whole movie was suppose to be about Danny Noonan and the others were just to be small part characters.
