What is "caddyshack"

Caddyshack is a 1980 American sports comedy film directed by Harold Ramis and written by Brian Doyle-Murray, Ramis and Douglas Kenney. It stars Michael O'Keefe, Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight, and Bill Murray. Doyle-Murray also has a supporting role. The film was later dedicated to producer Douglas Kenney, who died shortly after the film's release.

This was Ramis' first feature film and was a major boost to Dangerfield's film career; previously, he was known mostly for his stand-up comedy. Grossing nearly $40 million at the domestic box office ( 17th-highest of the year), it was the first of a series of similar comedies. A sequel, Caddyshack II, followed in 1988, although only Chase reprised his role and the film was poorly received.

Caddyshack has garnered a large cult following and has been hailed by media outlets, such as Time and ESPN, as one of the funniest sports movies of all time. As of 2010, Caddyshack has been televised on the Golf Channel as one of its "Movies That Make the Cut."

Caddyshack: Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack is a 1980 soundtrack to the film of the same name. It includes original songs from Kenny Loggins and a film score by Johnny Mandel. It also includes appearances by Journey, Paul Collins & the Beat, and Hilly Michaels. The soundtrack was a moderate success on the charts, peaking at #78 on the Billboard 200.

In 2010, La-La Land Records reissued the soundtrack on CD.
