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.

Judge Smails: I've sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber. Didn't want to do it. I felt I owed it to them.
----------
Spalding Smails: I want a hamburger. No, cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake. I want potato chips
[gets cut off by Judge Smails]
Judge Smails: You'll get nothing, and like it!

Danny Noonan: I planned to go to law school after I graduated, but it looks like my folks won't have enough money to put me through college.
Judge Smails: Well, the world needs ditch diggers, too.
"Hey Moose, Rocco, help the Judge find his check book, will ya..."
I smell varmit poontang.
Yeah, I’ve made a study of it with my special edition DVD, which I just mentioned. Note the kids are all playing basketball, and he evidently cut this one out of the herd. Note also the pitchfork which is actually pressed against the neck of the target for this monologue.
I’m assuming that a lot of the reaction was real, reminiscent of Groucho’s wince when he gets hit by the pea shooters in Horsefeathers.
I have a little poem I’d like to read in honor of this occasion, if I may. Spaulding, get your foot off the boat.
“It’s easy to grin
when your ship comes in
and you’ve got the stock market beat.
But the man worthwhile
is the man who can smile
when his shorts are too tight in the seat”. [laughs] Okay, pookie. Do the honors. “I christen thee the Sea Wasp.”
Where did it land “in the lumber yard”

13. THE OWNERS OF THE COUNTRY CLUB WERE NOT HAPPY ABOUT THE EXPLOSIONS ON THE GOLF COURSE.
Help the judge find his check book.
LMAO that was priceless.
“Doodie!!!!!”
This is your wife, huh? Hey baby, you mustve been something before electricity. Al Czervik
I don’t think the heavy stuff’s gonna come down for quite a while.
He can’t be too happy with that one!
"Can you make a Shoe Smell?"
As far as I am concerned, maybe one of the funniest movies ever made. It would have been hands down the funniest if they kept the caddies out, and let Rodney, Bill, and Ted work their magic the whole hour and a half.
Sandy: "Gophers, ya great git! Not golfers! The little brown furry rodents!"
Carl Spackler: "We can do that... we don't even have to have a reason."
“Don’t mind this.... doctor’s orders...”
And, my personal favorite... From Maggie:
“Dat’s all I need...”
Cinderella story. I heard he made up his whole part and improvised that whole scene. He hated working with Chevy like everybody does.
Rodney is great.
“I can still see where the jockey was hitting this steak.”
I use his lines all the time. "You'll get nothing and like it" "Spalding, get your foot off the boat" (I use that on my kids when they have any extremity where it shouldn't be) "How 'bout a Fresca?" "Well, we're waiting!"
“Somebody step on a duck?”
