So, in your opinion, what's the greatest golf movie ever made? Here's a list of all the golf flicks I could come up with.
Bobby Jones, Stroke of Genius 2004 PG Caddyshack 1980 R Caddyshack II 1988 PG Dead Solid Perfect 1988 NR Gentleman's Game, A 2001 R Greatest Game Ever Played, The 2005 PG Happy Gilmore 1996 PG-13 Legend of Bagger Vance, The 2000 PG-13 Miracle on the 17th Green 1999 NR Pat and Mike 1952 PG Tin Cup 1996 R Who's Your Caddy? Personally, I've always been a fan of Tin Cup.

I still remember going to see Caddyshack II with my brother and some of his friends, sitting down in the theater and realizing that Rodney Dangerfield wasn't in the movie - he'd been replaced by Jackie Mason. Jackie Mason!?!
And then I realized that no one was back. I think Chevy Chase was the only one back, but he wasn't funny. Bad, bad sequel. Liked the original, though. 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. |

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."

1 Happy Gilmore
2 Tin Cup 3 Greatest Game Ever Played 4 Caddyshack I really like Tin Cup, but I always laugh harder while watching Happy Gilmore. I have no idea why I like the Greatest Game Ever Played because it is not a funny movie, but I have watched it 3 or 4 times and think it just a solid movie with a good story. |

I think the thing that really stood out about Tin Cup was how well they seemed to capture the vibe of living in a small town in the middle of nowhere. From dining at the Waffle House to just killing time at the driving range, the characters mostly seemed happy to just drift through life (at least until Rene Russo shows up).
As usual, Costner was highly likable. Cheech Marin was also a hoot.
