Best Golf Movie

[Stretch]

First person to say "Caddyshack" gets to bang Lacey Underall.

Woohoo!

I haven't watched too many golf films. Tin Cup, Happy Gilmore, etc., to name a few.
The one I liked the most was "The Greatest Game Ever Played".

I'll keep that movie 'The Legend of Bagger Vance' in mind. My next trip to Blockbusters, I'll see if they have a copy.
Thanks,

Dan

Dorf on Golf.

Nothing else even comes close.

Since noone mentioned it yet I'm gonna have to lay down the monster of all golf movies."golf balls". This movie has everything you'd expect from a 70's erotic film without any sex. It's got everything from breasts to breasts. the only thing it really lacks is a story..
In all reality the movie is a joke and imo is not even as funny as caddy shack which i think is overrated and not the funniest. might be worth a watch though if you can find it. Has all the golf jokes you'd come to expect in a golf comedy. Guy gets hit in the nuts with golf ball. guy falls into water hazard. guy records par on his scorecard 20 strokes later.guy whos blind hits golf ball into guy's nuts. And of course a tournament to finish the movie.

I like all those movies. Tin Cup would probably be my favorite except for the hokey ending. I just don't like that he made a 12 on the 72nd hole. I don't care that he lost but nobody would keep trying to hit that shot in the US Open.

Caddyshack had an equally hokey ending but it was a hokey movie so it's acceptable.

I guess this would be my Top 3:

1. The Legend of Bagger Vance
2. The Greatest Game Ever Played
3. Tin Cup

Happy Gilmore

Being an urban kid, i'm not gonna lie, who's your caddy made me chuckle .. i like the spoof it does on country clubs :p.

happy gilmore is still my favorite, and tin cup just went into my netflix que.

I really really want to see Dead Solid Perfect but it's impossible to find. Once I saw it in the TV listings an hour AFTER it ended . . .man was I bummed.

Seen the rest and pretty much agree. My favorites are Tin Cup and A Gentleman's Game. My least favorite is the Bobby Jones one .. man was that boring. I love golf and will watch almost anything golf related but that was toooo boring. And CaddyShack II sucked. I agree with whoever suggested smacking Jackie Mason in the mouth for that one.

Tin Cup is definitely my favorite. Caddyshack is a close second. Bagger Vance and Greatest Game Ever Played are pretty solid. Bobby Jones:Stroke of Genius is overrated and A Gentleman's Game is just horrible. I'd love to see Dead Solid Perfect, but it isn't on DVD yet. My local library has it on VHS but I haven't had a VCR in years.

Best golf scene in a non-golf movie: The Thomas Crowne Affair. Either one, it's the same scene in both.

Not a big fan of golf movies. Yeah, I just said that. I do like movies where people happen to play golf among other things - like real life.

I hate to admit this, but I watched an MTV series because the first time I saw it they were hitting range balls in the back yard.

[Varsity_Golf]

I was not aware another movie of any kind existed after Caddyshack. I assumed that they had achieved perfection in 1 shot....

[Mattplusness]

1, Happy Gilmore
2. Tin Cuo
3. Caddyshack

It's pretty much just between the 3. Putting them in order was the hard part

[wrx_junki]

Just watched the movie Greatest Game Ever Played after reading the thread. Good movie and better since it was based on a true story.

[The Recreational Golfer]

Dead Solid Perfect all the way. Much more realistic golf, and Corinne Bohrer's nude scene is first-rate.
