What are your favorites?

of course everyone will have to have Caddyshack in their list somewhere but there a few classics out there.

1.) Caddyshack (pure comedy! - what did someone step on a duck?)
2.) The Greatest Game Ever Played (took place down the street from me, even though Even Stevens is in it it's not a bad flick)
3.) Legend of Bagger Vance - amazing movie
3.) A Gentlemans Game - a different type of golf movie

[vekiuytyh]

1) Tin Cup
2) Greatest Game Ever Played
3) Bobby Jones & The Stroke Of Genius

crap... totally forgot about Tin Cup

that is definitely in my list!

[Saqwnht]

All of the above, and I'm looking for another:

Dead Solid Perfect

[meridiasas]

crap... totally forgot about Tin Cup

that is definitely in my list!

I love it because it is different, it's basically a bum with talent, and who is going nowhere in life. The rest of them are just about kids who have loads of talent and win it all.

Spoiler He blew it, which made the ending amazing.

All of the above, and I'm looking for another:

its crazy old though

What was Hogans accident?

[Uciaucrx]

What was Hogans accident?

he almost died in a brutal car accident... they said he wasn't going to live, then they said he'd never walk again, then they said he'd never play golf again...

the next year, with his legs taped, I believe he won the US Open

[objennasweene]

I'd have to put them up in this order:

1. Caddyshack
2. Happy Gilmore
3. The Greatest Game Ever Played
4. Tin Cup
5. Caddyshack II (due to being unable to remember another I've seen)

I have yet to see a golf movie that impressed me.

I think Tin Cup is the best of the bunch, but that isn't saying much.

Happy Gilmore is okay, but if it wasn't about golf I probably wouldn't think twice about it.

Caddyshack...meh. Maybe I've just seen it too many times or maybe it's just because I'm not a big fan of slapstick, but it doesn't really do anything for me. The scene with the Bishop is the best part.

I finally saw Dead Solid Perfect after hearing how great it was. I didn't agree. I thought it was kind of boring and not very funny.

The Greatest Game Ever Played was a Disneyfied version of real events. It changed significant events and that really annoyed me. Francis Ouimet and the 1913 U.S. Open is arguably the more dramatic and compelling event in golf history, if not sports history, and there is no reason to Hollywood it.

Bagger Vance. Oh please. Nice scenery as usual from Redford, but Damon and Smith are both miscast, the event and characters are historically inaccurate (Bobby Jones was a lifelong amateur - what was he doing playing for a $10,000 prize?) People treating African-Americans as if they were just as white as plaster walls. And everyone giving respect to a woman. IT just seemed like way too much fluff. And I won't even get into the "Magical Negro" aspect of it.

Bobby Jones - Stroke of Genius. I need to see this one again because I don't remember it that well. But I do remember liking the fact that Bobby Jones wasn't portrayed as a saint.

I agree with you on this one Harry, Caddyshack really isn't that funny. It makes Golf look like a total lunatic sport. It really has nothing to do with golf in a way.

hahahahaha you're all crazy!

hey, thats a nice hat... I bet you get a free bowl of soup with it. Oh, hey... yeah it looks good on you though!

classic movie, SO many one liners

[DurryVony]

I agree a little bit here. I liked Caddyshack, but did not think it was that funny. It was good not great IMHO.

They defiantly portrayed the typical rich CC member with that guy. That's for sure, I've seen tons of them.

[treawittelf]

judge smeals... hey, the world needs ditch diggers too you know

so in other words you spent all that time putting a post together saying you don't have a favorite golf movie, or even like any of them????
