Pee-Wee's Big Adventure
Caddyshack

1980s Movie Tournament: Second Leg

Pee-Wee's Big Adventure Caddyshack
Pee-Wee Herman (Paul Reubens) is on a mission to find his beloved Retro red bicycle which was stolen. In pursuit of recovering his bike, Pee-Wee visits a fortune teller who instructs him to look for his bike in the basement of the Alamo. He follows her advice and embarks on an epic journey which introduces him to characters more zany then he is.

Has there every been a better story told about a man and his bike? I think not. Pee-Wee was the greatest who only got better after teaming up with Tim Burton. Every time I hear "Tequila" I can't help but think of Pee-Wee's impromptu dance at the biker bar. I can't help but wonder what Paul Reubens would be doing now had he not been caught in those scandals (wanking it in a porno theater followed by possession of obscene images of minors).

Memorable dialogue:
Large Marge: Be sure and tell 'em, Large Marge sent ya! HA HA HA HA HA!
At the exclusive WASPy Bushwood Country Club, a young caddy named Danny (Michael O'Keefe) sets out to win the caddy scholarship. Winning that scholarship would be his ticket out of permanently working in a lumberyard. In order to secure his chances, Danny must get in the good graces of the snobby Judge Smails (Ted Knight) and win the caddy golf tournament which the judge sponsors. Danny also finds himself in a love triangle and faces many foes during his stint at Bushwood. Aside from the stiff WASPs, the club also has a few peculiar regulars. Chief among them is Al Czervik (Rodney Dangerfield), a nouveau riche land developer who want to turn the club into a condo complex, Ty Webb (Chevy Chase), the Zen quoting playboy son of the co-founder of the club and the gopher-fixated groundskeeper Carl Spackler (Bill Murray). Al goes out of his way to get under the Judge's skin. After a lot of shenanigans, the two decide to take it to the course in a winner-take-all match.

All's well that ends in a Kenny Loggins' song. Harold Ramis really set the bar high with this classic. Simply, this is one of the funniest movies of all time. Who doesn't love Caddyshack?

Memorable dialogue:

Ty: I like you, Betty.
Danny: It's Danny, sir.
Ty: Danny. Danny, I'm going to give you a little advice. There's a force in the universe that makes things happen; all you have to do is get in touch with it. Stop thinking...let things happen...and be...the ball.

Czervik: Judge, give someone else a chance! You lucky devil! Come here, honey! And loosen up! You're a lot of woman, you know? You wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?
Mrs. Smails: You...you...you're no gentleman!
Czervik: I'm no doorknob, either.

Carl Spacler: Cinderella story, out of nowhere, former greenskeeper, now about to become the Masters champion. [swings, pulverizes yet another flower] It looks like a mirac- it's in the hole! It's in the hole!
