Best Golf Movie

[Ty Haegs]

As far as comedy goes for me there is no other than "Caddyshack". How can anyone not love that movie? But on a serious side of golf I would have to say "Tin Cup". I have seen each of these movies at least 15 times a piece.

So lets here your favorite golf movie and quote(s)! The whole movie is one great quote but here a few of my fav's from Caddyshack.

"Last time I saw a mouth like that, it had a hook in it." - Rodney Dangerfield

"Oh, this is the worst-looking hat I ever saw. When you buy a hat like this, I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh? [sees Judge Smails wearing the hat] Oh, but it looks good on you, though [rolls his eyes]." - Rodney

"Remember Danny - Two wrongs don't make a right but three rights make a left." - Ty

And a few from Tin Cup...

"I assume I have the confidentiality of the doctor-client privilege in regards to this outfit?" - Tin Cup

"Look, boss, I only got one rule. And that's never bet money that you don't have on a dog race with an ex-girlfriend who happens to be a stripper." - Romeo

Happy Gilmore gets my vote, but I'm really to young to remember the Caddy Shack or Tin Cup fad. Guess I should watch them all again before I cast my official ballot.

Dead Solid Perfect - hands down. Still catching one-liners. Favorite one... (while looking at a club) "F*** you and every thing you stand for!"

this movie never made it to DVD though.

For me - Caddyshack is funny, but Tin cup is my favorite golf movie. Its funny, clever, the characters are believable. But I have also found Rodney Dangerfield Obnoxious more so then funny.

You wanna make $14, the hard way?

Couldn't agree more. Beg me for respect one more time and I'll respectfully plant my foot up your repectfully dead @$$. Respectfully yours...

Besides, who HASN'T remembered, "The price is WRONG Bob!"?

Interesting. Rodney Dangerfield was intentionally obnoxious - that is where the humor comes from. Sort of like Larry David does, just much less sophisticated.

Those are all great (I'm a huge caddyshack/tin cup fan) but the best golf movie is "The Greatest Game Ever Played"

Call it what you will, it's not funny. Maybe it's just my humor though. I guess I expect comedians to make me laugh, but maybe that's asking too much.

When it comes to Golf Movies I guess I prefer the more serious ones.

The Legend of Bagger Vance is hands down my favorite. I'm not a big Will Smith fan but for me this was his greatest performance. Just the whole spiritual aspect of the game and how it was played out was pretty cool. I watch the thing 4 or 5 times a year.

I like "The Greatest Game Ever Played" as a close second.


Most people go with Caddyshack but for whatever reason it just doesn't do it for me. The only scene I actually laughed at was when Bill Murray is whaking flowerheads and talking about "Here at Augusta,,,400 yards and he's got a Pitching Wedge,,,,,It's in the Hole" that was pretty funny!

Same thing with Caddyshack II, Randy Quaid was hilarious with his antics but the rest of the movie was like watching paint dry.

tin cup takes the cup.i agree that caddyshack is overratted

[MiniMoe]

I have Dead Solid Perfect on DVD. I know it's a copy from a VHS, but it is good enough for me.

I found the movie "Back to School" funny, so I guess you are right that Rodney Dangerfield that was intentionally obnoxious.

However, I really enjoy Kevin Costner Sports movies. Bull Durham, Field of Dreams and Tin cup are all excellent movies.
