Caddyshack, the greatest golf movie of all-time, was released 35 years ago today. I'm not here to listen to your arguments for Tin Cup, Happy Gilmore, The Legend of Bagger Vance or any other golf movies. No, this is a time for celebration and remembering the best moments from a movie filled with a seemingly endless number of quotable lines and memorable scenes.
Narrowing Caddyshack down to 10 scenes or quotes was extremely difficult, and that's part of why it's so great. Everyone has their own favorite lines, moments and characters -- I, myself, am a Carl Spackler man -- so hopefully we can agree on at least a few of these.

You do drugs, Rusty?
Yeah that fade in from I’m Alright as the idyllic scenery of the golf course fades into Noonan’s hum-drum life really was excellently shot. One of the greatest intros in film, next to the beginning of “Dirty Harry” or “Bullitt.”
Best monologue in cinema history.
How about a Fresca is way up there.
A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I’m a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I’m on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-lagunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he’s gonna stiff me. And I say, “Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.” And he says, “Oh, uh, there won’t be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.” So I got that goin’ for me, which is nice.
“The last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it!”
Judge Smails: “How’d you like to mow my lawn?”
“You scratched my anchor!”
WoW..I used to go to Happy Hour after school at the BellSouth Training Center just around the corner from what was it rolling hills.Sit in the bar and look out over those greens and imagine Murray crawling around.Good memories.
So then I come back to the farm here in CT and spend my summer days being Murray chasing the little bastards around the farm......Funny stuff

“Don’t sell yourself short Judge, you’re a tremendous slouch.”
“Oh...uh, looks good on you though!”
I was born to love you
I was born to lick your face
I was born to rub you
but you were born to rub me first
Well? .... We're waiting!
“Hey baby, you must’ve been something before electricity.”
“And this is your grandson, huh? Oh, wonderful boy! A nice boy. Alright, he’s a good boy. I tell ya.............Now I know why tigers eat their young.”
I love this movie. I have the special edition, whatever, although I haven’t watched it in a while.
Anyway, my favorite Dangerfield line is the hat:
“You must get a free bowl of soup when you buy this hat ... oh ... but on you it looks good!”
You'll get nothing and like it!
Porterhouse: Fifty bucks says the Smails kid picks his nose.
Lou: You’re on.
Porterhouse: All right, kid, take your time.
[Spaulding picks his nose]
Lou: Double or nothing he eats it.
Porterhouse: Don’t do it, kid!
[Spaulding eats it]
Porterhouse: That kid will eat anything!
Lou: He was hungry.
The world needs ditch diggers, too. Will you loofah my stretch marks? 50 bucks the Smails kid picks his nose.
” Licensed to kill gophers by the government of the United Nations. A man, free to kill gophers at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They’re like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that’s all she wrote.”
