I liked Happy Gilmore, though it was a little uneven, like most good Adam Sandler movies. I liked the fight between Happy and Bob Barker. Ben Stiller played a great weasel in small role. "You can trouble me for a warm glass of shut-the-hell-up."

Tin Cup was a very underrated movie. I should have watched Bagger Vance, but I never did. Hard to rate them, not having seen some of the big options.

From what I've seen, I would say Tin Cup or Caddyshack. Give me Caddyshack, since I loved it so much as a kid. I'd like to see what I would think of it now.
I always thought Caddyshack was overrated, but it was a masterpiece compared to Caddyshack II. That movie was just painful to watch. And remember Dan Ackroyd filling in as the crazed groundskeeper (guess Bill Murray had enough sense to avoid the sequel)?

Too bad, really. I would have enjoyed seeing Jackie Mason in Ladybugs instead of Rodney Dangerfield.

As far as Happy Gilmore goes, who can forget the memorable acting of Carl Weathers? As Lindsey Fuche once said on Arrested Development, "He's got a big boy crush on Action Jackson."
