The man knew comedy! Caddyshack and Groundhog Day are two movies that you can dust off anytime and laugh just as hard as the first time you watch them!

I loved Stripes.

Ramis died from complications of autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis, which is a rare disease that involves swelling of the blood vessels, according to his wife Erica Mann.

THAT doesn't sound like a fun time. Poor guy.

One of the rare hollyweird types who DIDN’T succumb to the leftist drivel trawled out these days. Hella’ respect for this man’s work. RIP Egon...

RIP Harold. He was a huge talent. All his movies were good. I personally thought “Caddyshack” and “Back to School” were two of the funniest movies ever made. I start chuckling just thinking about some of the lines in those movies.

Drop the Caddy story line, then double the interaction between Knight, Dangerfield, Murray, and Chevy Chase, and you may have funniest movie (Caddyshack) of all time.
