Caddyshack (1980) is a movie in my DVD collection that I recently rewatched on HBOMAX. The storyline involves a young man about to graduate from high school who doesn't know what he wants to do when he grows up. He works at a golf course and looks for advice from the regular members. Meanwhile a rivalry is developing between a new member of the golf club and a prideful legacy member. The kid is about to be caught in the middle of the rivalry.

This movie is directed by Harold Ramis (National Lampoon's Vacation) in his directorial debut and stars Chevy Chase (Three Amigos), Rodney Dangerfield (Back to School), Bill Murray (Stripes), Ted Knight (The Mary Tyler Moore Show) and Brian Doyle-Murray (National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation).

This is easily the greatest golf movie ever created. It contains a fun storyline, unique characters and randomly fun circumstances. The movie is perfectly cast and Murray, Chase and Dangerfield are brilliant. Every scene with the gopher and Murray is legendary and Chase's dry humor is perfect. The soundtrack is also magnificent.

Overall this is a classic 80s gem in every way - look, feel, cast and content. There's nothing to not like about this picture. I would score this a 10/10 and strongly recommend it.
