Caddyshack1980
Some people just don't belong.
At an exclusive country club, an ambitious young caddy, Danny Noonan, eagerly pursues a caddy scholarship in hopes of attending college and, in turn, avoiding a job at the lumber yard. In order to succeed, he must first win the favour of the elitist Judge Smails, and then the caddy golf tournament which Smails sponsors.

It's not big and it's not clever, but it's very, very funny.
This is one of those movies that isn't amazing in today's world to a modern audience, yet it is still hilarious and charming. The gopher in this movie is one of the most stand out parts, even though it feels more akin to something that would be in a children's movie, and Bill Murray is amazing with it. Also, Rodney Dangerfield and Chevy Chase both have that swagger to them, even though they both have insanely different versions of swag.
Caddyshack has a low-budget look that warmly welcomes the all-important teenage audience. It looks like a film they could have made. And everyone associated with the film—in front of and behind the camera—is aware that he or she is making a frivolous film...That's why Rodney Dangerfield's cornball jokes and spritzing barbs are so perfectly right for the film. These are throwaway jokes for a most disposable motion picture, the kind of film that drive-ins were designed to play.
