"Easy Money" (1983) vs "Back To School" (1986) - best Rodney film?
I've seen both, and love both. But it would be hard for me to select the best out of the two.
I didn't include Caddyshack because that's more of an ensemble film as opposed to a Rodney-vehicle, and I didn't include Ladybugs because, well, it is pretty inferior to the other Rodney Dangerfield films, I think.
Anyway, if you had to choose the best out of these two, which would it be, and why?

I think Back to School is much funnier than Easy Money, although EM does have that Billy Joel song.
Plus, EM is a little darker and more mean-spirited. BtS is much more quotable too.

Caddyshack. He and Bill Murray are the main attractions in that film, which is otherwise fairly uneven.

I like Back to School but Easy Money is one of my favorite movies of all time. Not even close in my opinion.

Back to School contains one of my favorite quotes:
Mr. Melon, your wife was just showing us her Klimt.
You too, huh? She's shown it to everybody.
