- The result: “Caddyshack,” Harold Ramis’ gloriously anarchic comedy that was released on July 25, 1980. Nothing about it should have worked — yet, somehow, everything did. Forty years later, “Caddyshack” still stands as the quintessential summer comedy: rude, crude, unabashedly juvenile.

- Michael O'Keefe. Michael O'Keefe was already a semi-household name by the time he arrived on-screen in "Caddyshack" as caddy Danny Noonan. The golf comedy classic was only his third-ever film, but one year prior, he played Ben Meechum in Lewis John Carlino's war drama "The Great Santini" and earned himself an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
- Chevy Chase. Though Chevy Chase received top billing upon the release of "Caddyshack," it's safe to say he's since been surpassed in fame by one of his co-stars.
- Bill Murray. Though he played second-fiddle to Chevy Chase in "Caddyshack" — coincidentally after being his replacement on "SNL" three years earlier – Bill Murray has enjoyed the most-successful career out of the entire cast.

- Chevy Chase (Ty Webb) From his years on "Saturday Night Live" to the timeless role of Clark W. Griswold, Chevy Chase is a pioneer for modern comedy. Though the 78-year-old primarily works in supporting roles these days, his portrayal of the suave Ty Webb remains one of his best.
- Rodney Dangerfield (Al Czervik) The king himself. I'd contest that there is no better closing line to any film than when Dangerfield's character exclaims to the Bushwood onlookers, "Hey everybody, we're all gonna get laid!"
- Ted Knight (Judge Elihu Smails) Though he was the movie's antagonist, Ted Knight was a hero.

Barmon’s role in Caddyshack was not huge, but his remarkable chemistry with the late Ted Knight provided some of the most memorable and funny moments in the film.

Jul 25, 2020 · Released on July 25, 1980, the movie is now 40 years old. It's officially in middle age. There are parts of it that still work great, and parts of it that don't. And there are parts of it that are best left forgotten. Same goes for those of us who, ourselves, have recently reached the halfway mark.
