how many comics "have that going for them"?
When i was 12 years old, my teacher (Miss Glass, HOT) brought our class to the new 'AV room' along with two other classes and we watched a badly dubbed VHS copy of Stripes.
It was a formative moment in my life and to this day i have no idea why it happened.
(Stripes was an R13 movie in NZ, we were all 12)
Miss Glass, wherever you are: you rock my world.

Tito Puente's gonna be dead, and you're gonna say, "Oh, I've been listening to him for years, and I think he's fabulous."[/b]
Ma'am, I'm sure there are a lot of ways I've gone that you haven't.[/b]
So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.[/b]

Correct me if I'm wrong Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers, they're gonna lock me up and throw away the key...[/b]
Shit is so beyond classic. That said, Stripes was probably my first "favorite movie" and actually deserves another viewing quite soon.
Tough to choose between such classics but, due to a very stoned and joyous Sunday morning, I have Caddyshack on the brain right now.

"It's easy to grin, when your ship has come in. Or you've got the stock market beat. But the man worthwhile, is the man who can smile. When his shorts are too tight in the seat."
ted knight is a comic genius!!!!! loved him on the few old tv sitcoms he did.
"Lee Harvey, you are a madman. When you stole that cow, and your friend tried to make it with the cow. I want to party with you, cowboy. If the two of us together, forget it."
That being said, the second half of Stripes is kind of a letdown and not nearly as funny when they get into the whole "shoot the Commies with an RV" part.
Caddyshack is without a doubt a much better film.
my favorite line:
"The world need's ditch-diggers too"
Missssssssssster scholarship winner.
Ted Knight is just in top form (along with the rest of the cast).

I mean, yeah, it's hilarious ("touch any of my stuff -
and I'll kill yah. Call me Francis - and I'll kill yah")
but Caddyshack is quite possibly THE FUNNIEST MOVIE EVAR.

(long
ramis: "No, we aren't homosexual. But we're WILLING to learn."
murray: "do we have to go to a special place for that?"
army recruiter: "have either one of you been convicted of a felony?"
ramis & murray: "no, never convicted."
laroquette peeping tom commander: "i didn't know they could do that!"

i think i like stripes because the humor is more on the sarcastic side.
yeah i just rented the 'extended version' on dvd recently with a bunch of deleted scenes which is why i started this thread. highly recommended!
CANNONBALL!!!
