There's a lot to like about Caddyshack, and I don't just mean Cindy Morgan's @#$# - this great ensemble film has many big stars - which one was your favorite in the film?

Myself, I am won over every time by Rodney's energy, one-line zingers (which were mostly improvised), and funny physique.

Freeze gopher!

Without Judge Smails, there is no Caddyshack.

"You know Danny, I've sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber. Didn't want to do it. I felt I... owed it to them."

That's the line I laughed the hardest at while watching the film on cable a few weeks ago!

Impossible to answer. That's an extraordinary cast of characters.

Hard choice btwn Al Czervik and Judge Smails.

No love for Maggie and her famous line "'tanks for nuthin', Danny!"

Carl Spackler.

Besides... she's never swum.

Bill.

Also, how about the Baby Ruth candy bar, it was a character in itself.

Spaulding Smails

Chevy Chase. Hard to choose, though. So many greats in their prime.

The slow burn of Ted Knight's "Judge Smayles" is comic perfection. Anyone can play the "snob" to the more showy "slobs", but Knight turned his performance into one of maniacal, self-righteous genius.

"Oh, Billy Billy Billy Billy...."

"YOU'LL GET NOTHING, AND LIKE IT!"

"Winter rules...."

"Suh-suh-suh-suh-suh-sucks?!?!"

"I demannnnnnnnnnnnnd satisfaction..."

"It's easy to grin, when your ship has come in, and you've got the stock market beat..."

"Why look at me and Spaulding, we're like regular pals!!!"

"Hey! How 'bout a Fresca?? Mmmm? MMMM?!?!"

"Gambling is ILLEGAL at Bushwood and I NEVER slice..." *slice*

"SPALDING GET YOUR FOOT OFF THE BOAT!"

"Well, the world needs ditch diggers, too...."

"I'm having a big party this weekend. Are you doing anything? How'd you like to come over and mow my lawn?"

"WELL!??!?! WE'RE WAITING!!!!!!!!"


Nothing else comes close...

I met Cindy Morgan a few years ago, she still looks great. She said they had no idea they were making such a classic comedy... they were all stoned the whole time.

And, yeah, I'm picking Lacey as my favorite!

Gotta go with Dangerfield. Chase is high up there too.

My favorite comedy of alltime! This is too tough, so I am going to push

I will say to get Bill Murray, Ted Knight, Chevy Chase, and Rodney in one movie, all in their prime, and not having to worry about their egos and who is getting too many lines, is a miracle in itself!

I always thought it was funny that Rodney really needed a laugh track because he wasn't accustomed to shooting a feature where no one laughed at his jokes, but that people had to tell him afterwards that it was brilliant.

Wow, this is a harder choice than every other "favorite" thread out there. Gotta go with Rodney, just thinking of him dancing on the green cracks me up.

Anyone but Michael O'Keefe.

Chevy Chase

Rodney Dangerfield makes me want to turn off the movie. The only reason I keep going is how brilliant everything else is.

Bill Murray and Rodney Dangerfield were unreal in their greatness. I can't believe they didn't have a scene together. They even threw in a scene just to have Chase and Murray together but not the other two?!?
