which is nice.

Here we have perhaps the penultimate clip from “Caddyshack“, Carl Spackler’s Dalai Lama speech:

Caddyshack is a 1980 American comedy film directed by Harold Ramis and written by Brian Doyle-Murray, Ramis and Douglas Kenney. It stars Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight, Michael O’Keefe and Bill Murray. Brian Doyle-Murray, Bill Murray’s elder brother, also has a supporting role.

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 almost $40 million in the U.S. alone (16th highest of the year), it was the first of a series of similar comedies. A sequel, Caddyshack II, followed in 1988, although it was not nearly as successful or well-received.

Tiger Woods has said that Caddyshack is his favorite film of all time, and it’s easy to understand why after watching it.

Some interesting trivia about Caddyshack:

The famous scene that begins when Ty Webb’s golf ball crashes into Carl Spackler’s ramshackle house was not in the original script. It was added by director Harold Ramis after realizing that two of his biggest stars, Chevy Chase and Bill Murray (who did not get along due to a feud dating back to their days on Saturday Night Live), did not have a scene together. The three met for lunch and wrote the scene together. Although the scene has nothing to do with the plot, it is widely regarded as the funniest in the movie. This is the only time that Chase and Murray have appeared in a movie together.

Harold Ramis also directed and wrote several other classic movies, including:

Ramis has also directed at least three episodes of TV’s “The Office.”

I hope you enjoy this classic clip from Caddyshack as much as I.
