I was watching the last half of BS and Caddyshack is next. Oh I agree, BS is funnier than CS, overall, but the one scene of CS is one of the funniest ever. I'm trying to think of any scenes in BS that are funnier than the CS scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are all great but the BR scene still trumps them IMO. I did consider the toll booth scene but the BS scene edges it out by this/much. BS runs again after CS.

VABills Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 The bug up the ass removal scene in Evolution is one of the funniest scenes in a movie. very mediocre movie, but there are some pretty good scenes and one-liners to keep it enjoyable.

KD in CA Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 You've got to check out Swingers, funny movie, one of Vince Vaughn's earliest roles. Swingers got a little overexposed eventually, but at the time was a friggin hysterical movie. Captured the young, west coast loser/wanna-be actor thing perfectly.

Steely Dan Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 I've heard this story with Ford as a waiter and not a grocery clerk but it's still funny; Harrison Ford Besides being a licenced pilot, what do I have in common with the actor Harrison Ford? In addition to being fabulously attractive and well regarded, of course. When Harrison Ford was starting out in Hollywood he landed a number of bit parts like bellhop, cowboy, and suspect number two. Naturally he played each role to the best of his ability, putting his considerable talent towards making the audience believe he was indeed a bellhop, a cowboy or a suspicious individual. He wanted bigger roles, but they were not forthcoming. One studio executive apparently told Ford that he was delivering the lines he was given, and was well-suited to portraying a bellhop or a waiter, but that he lacked star quality. "Check out Tony Curtis in HIS first role," the exec said. "He's a grocery clerk but you KNOW he's a movie star." "I thought the point was you were supposed to think he was a grocery clerk", countered Ford, quite reasonably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I've heard this story with Ford as a waiter and not a grocery clerk but it's still funny;.... Good clip. I know there are movies I've watched where I still see the actor as not their character, but as other characters they have played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyemike Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Good clip. I know there are movies I've watched where I still see the actor as not their character, but as other characters they have played. The best example of this is Eddie Murphy in the two Nutty Professor movies. You actually forget it's Eddie playing all of those roles, especially those of his parents. Mama Klump (talking to Sherman as he's leaving): "Cletus! The dogs got into the garbage again!" Cletus Klump (off screen): "Well, shoot the damn dogs!" I don't know why, but that sequence in the first Nutty Professor makes me laugh every single time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Any movie from the 80s with Rodney is a classic. Back to School, Easy Money and of course Caddy Shack are all among my favorite movies ever. They also fall into that category of flick that has replay ability. Can watch again and again. Favorite line from Back to School when Rodneys bitchy wife is introducing one of her plump friends to him. She asks him to comment on her beautiful green dress. "If that dress had pockets you could be a pool table. No offense. You should come to one of my Big And Tall Stores." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cletus Klump (off screen): "Well, shoot the damn dogs!" I don't know why, but that sequence in the first Nutty Professor makes me laugh every single time. I saw an article at the time from a movie columnist stating that Murphy should have gotten a best actor nomination for that film. Any movie from the 80s with Rodney is a classic. Back to School, Easy Money and of course Caddy Shack are all among my favorite movies ever. They also fall into that category of flick that has replay ability. Can watch again and again.

"If that dress had pockets you could be a pool table. No offense. You should come to one of my Big And Tall Stores." Caddyshack made a lot of money for Rodney. He was a successful comedian but Caddyshack made him a star and opened the door for him being a leading man in comedies. BTW, his stores were tall and fat; Thornton Melon: [television commercial] Hi there. Are you a large person? Pleasantly plump? A little on the hefty side, perhaps? Well, let's face it: Are you FAT? When you go jogging, do you leave pot-holes? When you make love, do you have to give directions? At the zoo, do the elephants throw YOU peanuts? Do you look at a menu and say 'OK'? Well, now, you can eat all you want, because at Thornton Melon's "Tall & Fat" stores, we've got you covered. That's right. Fine woolen, and woolen-blend suits and sport coats, in all the larger sizes - husky, stout, extra-stout, and the new Hindenburg line. And for you ladies we have caftans, muumuus, and our own exclusive A-frame in all colors and patterns. Yes, we have miles and miles of fabric. So take it from me, Thornton Melon, if you want to look thin, you hang out with fat people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
