Young scribe Harold Ramis planned to follow up his unexpectedly successful, genre-defining comedy “Animal House” with a humorous feature about a Nazi rally. Thankfully, sensibility prevailed and a take on the life of a caddy was chosen instead. When huge adult-aged stars began to attach themselves to the project, the subject matter shifted a bit to the country club as a whole. “Caddyshack” has come to be regarded as one of the funniest movies ever made. It’s a comic tale about class, aspiration and rodent extermination with one side-splitting scene after the next performed by the greatest comedians of the era. There are so many great lines from this classic, and here we remember each character’s best.
