I have no idea what Mt favorite summer movie us. Meatballs 1979, a summer camp movie starring Bill Murray. His first starring role. Bill and Chevy previously had a fist fight on SNL. But they made it through the scene together here which was largely improvised. Ted Knight basically hated everyone, but especially Rodney. Ted is a life long professional. Everyone else was hgh out of their minds. And Rodney had never acted so he had no idea what "Action!" meant. So instead Harold would just say, "Do your bit." The film was supposed to be about the caddies, but they kept hiring big name actors. The guy in charge of the caddies "Pick up that blood!" us Bill Doyle-Murry, Bill's brother. The family in the beginning is based on their upbringing as well as both being caddies. Most of Bill's dialog was improvised and he was actually only around for a few days. The whole "Cinderella story bit eas his idea. He asked them to plant flowers there. They learned why after saying "Action." Avoid Caddyshack 2.
Another great reaction by you, Jen. For a great comedy I highly recommend, 'The Three Amigos', which stars Chevy Chase with Steve Martin and Martin Short, I promise you won't be disappointed.
And even better: "Easy Money". "Easy Money" was his first starring movie, with Joe Pesci, HILARIOUS. I prefer it to Back To School, but that one is good too.
The 6 Million Dollar Man is an old T.V. show, from the 70's I think. The main character was injured and parts of his body was replaced with mechanical parts. This basically made him a superhero. Every time he used these parts that noise was made.
Yes it is from the 70's. He was testing an experimental rocket plane and it malfunctioned. He lost his legs an arm and an eye. Every time the camera cut to his face when he was looking long distance it would focus on his eye and make the sound. It had a similar but slightly different sound when he would jump. ruclips.net/video/LfxswTfscSs/видео.html and jumping and running sound fx ruclips.net/video/K82kFgBgHGc/видео.html
Bill Murray and Chevy Chase absolutely hated each other at the time and did not want to work together. Because they were both such big stars and had the history together at SNL the studio execs demanded they have at least one scene together. That's why we only see them that one time in Carl's shack.
@@joerogers9413 Don't sell him short. And remember "He's sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber. He didn't want to do it. He felt he owed it to them. "
Definitely watch Meatballs, it Bill's first movie after his run on SNL. And it's still a Bill classic. And if you ever watch old T.V. shows, might I suggest watching the first 5 seasons of Saturday Night Live. It's where Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, and John Belushi got their start. There's also some other great cast members that probably aren't well known today such as Gilda Radner who was probably one of the funniest cast members on the show and one of the funniest women of SNL. She died in the 80' s and never did any films, so most people today may not know of her. There was aloso Jane Curtain, Loraine Newman, and Garret Morris. And Steve Martin hosted quite often along with Buck Henry. And the first host of the very first SNL ever is Goerge Carlin. I think it would be cool for you to learn the roots of all these comedians in these movies and see your reactions to them.
And no one was very sure of Bill Murray's ability to be a movie-star - but that gave him an good ensemble cast to work with, and enough running gags to maintain comedic interest without 'naked girls required'.
Hi, Jen. The Six Million Dollar Man was a Movie and TV series based on the Martin Caidin novel, "Cyborg," about an astronaut who suffered catastrophic injuries in a crash. His legs, one arm, and one eye were replaced by prosthetics that provided enhanced performance, used for secret agent work. The sound effect that accompanied such feats was used when Chevy Chase was stunt putting.
Jen, the movie you request that has everything: Meatballs, a summer camp in Canada starring Bill Murray, teenage love stories, and the kid with no friends. Fun fun fun.
"Double turds!" Caddyshack has a ton of little quoteables. My personal favorite - "You'll get nothing and like it!" Ted Knight is hilarious as the judge.
If you ever run into someone who has seen this movie originally, but hasn't seen it since then, or for long enough to largely forget aspects, they ALWAYS remember the gopher.
this was Rodney Dangerfield's first ever movie, and while filming he kept cracking jokes but couldn't understand why the crew behind the camera wasn't laughing. they had to explain it to him that they're not supposed to laugh or it ruins the shot!
Breaking Away (1979) is like a serious version of Caddyshack. Wet Hot American Summer (2001) is like a parody of '80s teen comedies that takes place at a summer camp.
Jen, That was a very expensive Rolls Royce convertible that Rodney pulled up to the club in. Steve Austin was the 6 Million Dollar Man, a very popular TV show back in the day. He was a pilot/astronaut that had a terrible crash landing. He was "rebuilt" with all these biomechanical improvements that made him fast runner, a high jumper, super hearing, super sight and heaven knows what else. The cost for all this surgery and improvements was 6 million dollars. He went on adventures every week and beat the triple turds out of the bad guys.
The whole scene with Bill Murray and the flowers (It's in the hole!) was improvised by Bill on the spot. Ramis just told him to do something goofy and so he did.
The scene with Ty and Carl the night before the big game was also totally improvised, because production was almost finished and Harold Ramis realized Bill Murray and Chevy Chase didn't have a scene together, and the comedic potential was too good to pass up. They just pointed the cameras at them and turned them loose 😆
The 6 Million Dollar Man was a show from the 70s about a guy who gets horribly injured and the doctors "upgrade" him with cool abilities, which he uses to go on missions fighting bad guys. The spin-off was The Bionic Woman and there was a sound effect like Chevy did every time they used their abilities. Especially jumping high or running super fast.

One of the greatest comedies of all time. The more times you watch it, the more jokes you catch and funnier it gets. The star comedians are at the top of their games.
This was Rodney’s first movie. They didn’t how he would work out as he had no experience other than stand-up, lots of improv in his legendary performance.
Arguably the most quoted film in history with a cavlacade of comedic genius onscreen and behind the camera - so glad you finally got to this! And as for Summer Camp films - MEATBALLS starring Bill Murray STAT!
Classic re-watch for me as "I demand satisfaction" and am a kid that grew up in the 80's. It's one of those movies that "You know? Words!", is just timeless funny.... Love ya work Jen, new and old. ;-)
First year of college in mid 80's in student apartments we only got 2 local channels in the semi rural town. We had a VCR and 2 movie cassettes and we played both films nonstop everyday in the background whether anyone was watching or not. The 2 films were Caddyshack and Apocalypse Now, 2 of most quoted films a 2 personal favorites of mine.
1:36 Harold Ramis did this and acted in Ghostbusters. He was Egon. Sam Raimi did the Spider-Man movies. A lot of Bill Murray’s lines were adlibbed and encouraged to do so by Harold Ramis. 3:58 the man in charge of the caddy’s is Bill Murray’s brother. 5:30 it’s funny how everyone is paying attention to her cause of her top and her uncle is oblivious to what she’s wearing. He seems like the kind of guy that wouldn’t like her wearing that and would say something. This film was based of Bill Murray’s brother’s real life experience as a caddy. 14:41 he doesn’t have any fresh bottles of sparkling water so he was making it look like it was fresh. 16:42 her uncles room and bed. 19:10 he survived the lightning strike and now believes that God doesn’t exist. That would make me an even stronger believer if I survived that strike. 20:10 he wanted Ty to play for him cause he knows how well Ty can play. Harold Ramis got the gopher idea from an old Mickey Mouse cartoon where Mickey is golfing and Pluto sees a gopher and digs up the whole course trying to find the gopher. They added the gopher to bring the film together and Harold Ramis wanted a real animal to play the gopher but couldn’t do it so they did a mechanical one. Which to me is better cause they can do more with a fake one. The sequel wasn’t really that good mainly cause it feels forced like they had to make it. Another golf movie to check out is “Who’s Your Caddy?”.
Heavyweights is a good summer camp comedy with Ben Stiller that most people aren't familiar with. His character in the movie is reminiscent of his Dodgeball character.
The gopher was the MVP of this movie. Enjoyable reaction as usual. Summer movies for recommendation-Meatballs (1979 Bill Murray) The Great Outdoors (1988 John Candy and Dan Aykroyd), Summer Rental (1985 John Candy), What About Bob? (1991 Bill Murray), The Goonies (1985 Sean Astin and Josh Brolin), Addams Family Values (1993 Christina Ricci), and a couple more serious summer movies Stand by Me (1986 River Phoenix), My Girl (1991 Dan Aykroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis).
I found out recently that the out of place section with the pregnancy scare was there because the movie was originally written to be centered around the young caddy Danny, but when the high profile comedians signed on his role was reduced and all the comedians were given larger roles, changing it from a coming of age drama to a comedy.
@@longfootbuddy Looking back on it there are some cringe moments. For example when Chevy Chase slips a pill into the drink of a girl half his age to have sex with (date r*pe?). She's going around sleeping with every guy in the movie. Danny cheats on his gf with her...
@@petercofrancesco9812 I dont have a copy to watch back right now, but im pretty sure he just mixes some opened bottles together to fill one up, put the pry off cap back on, and then shake it up to look like its just fizzing when he opens it up.
If you want a Canadian early 80's cult classic, you gotta check out Heavy Metal, from 1981. First adult animated film I ever saw, based on a popular comic magazine originally from France called Metal Hurlante, which showcased outrageous stories of all genres, and the movie is like a pure embodiment of everything a geek could want: fantasy, sci-fi, horror, comedy, all with various gorgeous styles of animation, and with an absolutely badass soundtrack to tie it all together.
Jen, I smiled when you confused Harold Ramis for a Raimi. Two entirely different directing genres. Ramis was also the director of "Groundhogs Day". If you like BTS stuff there still may be a doc on YT about how when they were filming this, it was a non-stop party. In the '90's, they released an automated gopher that looked exactly like it did in the film, complete with fur. You'd push a button on it's base and it would do his twisting dance from the movie to the Kenny Loggins song. I wish I still had mine. There is an inferior sequel, the only retuning character is the gopher. Bill Murry did another summer camp movie called "Meatballs" you may enjoy.
It's Ramis, not Raimi. Harold Ramis wrote Ghostbusters with Dan Aykroyd and starred in it, the guy directing Ghostbusters 1 and 2 was Ivan Reitman. My summer movie I would say is The Secret to My Success with Michael J. Fox and Helen Slater. And the reason is because it always shows on TV here in Sweden on summers, even this year and twice. A very underrated romantic comedy from the 80's and I think you will like it, Jen =)
Two great "summer" movies - One is another Bill Murray flick, Meatballs. Another is Mark Harmon in a movie called Summer School. Both are classic comedies that you'll love.
Great reaction Jen this movie is absolutely a favorite among many. Its from 1980 so having more of a 70's vibe would fit. I'd suggest Real Genius with Val Kilmer from the mid 80's and Breaking Away 1979.
So much fun rewatching this cheers yt nice recommendation . " Think I have enough butter now "🧈 lol umm yeah I think so hahaha. Number 2 is even more bonkers but definitely a laugh that's for sure 😅 cheers Jen for starting my week with laughter 🔥😀💙
Summer Camp means Bill Murray in Meatballs. Another summer kind of film is Splash, Tom Hanks' breakthrough role. The intro track is by the king of 1980s movie songs, Kenny Loggins. He also sang Footloose for the film of the same name and Danger Zone for the film Top Gun.
This was filmed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and they didn't have permission to blow up the golf course. A pilot getting ready to land at Fort Lauderdale International Airport, a few miles away, thought it was a plane crash when he flew over it.
Here are some comedy movies with ....... *Bill Murray:* Meatballs (Summer Camp Counselor) Stripes (Military) *Rodney Dangerfield:* Back to School (College) Easy Money (Baby Photographer) *Chevy Chase:* Fletch / Fletch Lives (Undercover Reporter) Funny Farm (City Writer moved to the country) All these movies are comedies.
Real Genius-Val Kilmer comedy about college life, underrated cult classic comedy Midnight Run-Robert Di Nero buddy comedy, same director of Beverly Hills cop.
6:42 - "I've heard that!" - The Gopher guts song predates Caddyshack. "Great green gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts. Marinated monkey meat. All these things are very, very good to eat." :) 6:50 - "Kinda cute." - You can buy an animated version of the gopher. It dances to the song I'm alright by Kenny Loggins. 11:38 - The Six Million Dollar Man was a TV show about a test pilot who was in a bad plane crash. He lost both legs, an arm and an eye. The government rebuilt him with "bionic" parts, giving him super vision, great strength and super speed. Since this was the 70s and special effects were limited, especially on a TV show budget, they would show him lifting something heavy (like a car) while a similar noise played to clue you in to the fact that he was doing something super-human. "Steve Austin, astronaut. A man barely alive. We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster." It also had a spinoff, The Bionic Woman, as well as several TV reunion movies.
Jen my go to summer movie from my childhood is the original Bad News Bears(1976) not that unwatchable Billy Bob Thornton remake. Walter Matthau is great along with my first preteen crush Tatum O'Neal
Fun fact, Jen: As raucous as this looks on screen, it was even worse off screen. According to director Harold Ramis, getting this crew to show up on set sober was a miracle in and of itself. It was a wonder this film got made at all!
At 16:40 "Fastest guitar solo ever." You might change your mind if you watch the movie "Crossroads" with Ralph Macchio. His character wants to be a blues guitarist. As a guitar player, this movie is so good with the musical talent involved. It's pretty good with one of my favorite movie moments, ever.
11:35 in the late 70s there was a TV show called: The 6 Million Dollar Man. He was half man, half machine. Whenever he used his bionic powers, that sound was made.
@ 20:38 This was Bill Murray and Chevy Chase's only scene together in a film. They had a fight in 1978 while both were on Saturday Night Live and never reconciled so they never acted together in any movie ever again.
*Heavyweights* is a must see great summer camp movie! *Mearballs* also with Bill Murray, I'm sure has already been recommended, so I'll just agree with it. *Ernest Goes To Camp* I loved as a kid, I still do but it is made to be a silly movie for kids. *Camp Nowhere* is a very underrated film in my opinion, I think it is such a cute movie, it also has a mini _Back To the Future_ reunion of sorts! *The Sandlot* is not a camp movie but is the _essential_ summer movie you need to see. *Summer Rental* is a great John Candy family on vacation movie. *The Great Outdoors* Also with John Candy and Dan Aykroyd too on this one. *One Crazy Summer* a Savage Steve Holland movie for a surreal fun funny summer adventure! I love this movie! *Summer School* to check in on those poor souls who missed out on summer fun, but the movie itself still brings the funny! *Stand By Me,* in my opinion, is the perfect movie to close out summer! Best Regards!
Great reaction, Jen. You're fun to watch. Here are some of my favorite 70s / 80s movies: "Annie Hall" "Body Heat" "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" "Gandh," "Highlander" "The Matrix" "Mississippi Burning" "The Right Stuff"
This film was basically the spiritual successor to Animal House, which was written by the same team of writers. Both movies are largely episodic narratives that focus on an ensemble cast, and both explore a common theme: snobs vs. slobs. Class disparity is a motivating factor in the crass behavior of the heroes: why would they conform to the rules of a society designed to keep them down? In this particular film, Rodney Dangerfield's character represents New Money clashing with Old Money. Not only is his source of income associated with the working class, but he's from Eastern European (and possibly Jewish) descent. His family undoubtedly came to America in poverty, and now he has the audacity to think that his hard-earned money can buy his way into a club intended for those with generational wealth. And on top of that, he dares to criticize the club members for being out of touch. These themes are picked up again in the sequel, which was intended to be a Dangerfield-focused vehicle. But he dropped out, and Jackie Mason came in to play a nearly identical character. Chevy Chase and the gopher return for the follow-up, but the end product wasn't quite on par. Much of what was implicit in the first movie was explicit in Caddyshack II, and Harold Ramis essentially wrote a less subtle and more cartoonish remake of the original film. (He also didn't bother directing this time.)
Ernest Goes to Camp is a fun summer movie. Another good one is What About Bob- not sure if you’ve seen that one, also has Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfus in it.
Ted Knight, who played Judge Smails, was lovable/hatable news anchor named Ted Baxter on a very popular TV show in the 70s called the Mary Tyler Moore show. Chevy Chase was on the first season of Satuday Night Live then he left and was replaced by Bill Murray. I forget why but they hated each other during the making of this movie though they have since made amends.
Lol SO many children ,..I grew up with 7 brothers and 2 sisters , it was AMAXING honestly, we had so much fun! My brother has 14!!!!!! With k ly 1 set of twins and they are the most amazing family! I’ve got 3 little daughters that are my life and it feels like such a small family being a single dad with jsut 3 daughters (and their yellow Lab Daisy) but they are the most awesome daughters ever!
JEN: A Comedy Classic (in the spirit of a crazy fun Summer Camp Movie by way of College Fraternities) by THE SAME PEOPLE that brought you CADDYSHACK: "ANIMAL HOUSE"!

Vacation
I have no idea what Mt favorite summer movie us.
Meatballs 1979, a summer camp movie starring Bill Murray. His first starring role.
Bill and Chevy previously had a fist fight on SNL. But they made it through the scene together here which was largely improvised.
Ted Knight basically hated everyone, but especially Rodney. Ted is a life long professional. Everyone else was hgh out of their minds. And Rodney had never acted so he had no idea what "Action!" meant. So instead Harold would just say, "Do your bit."
The film was supposed to be about the caddies, but they kept hiring big name actors.
The guy in charge of the caddies "Pick up that blood!" us Bill Doyle-Murry, Bill's brother. The family in the beginning is based on their upbringing as well as both being caddies. Most of Bill's dialog was improvised and he was actually only around for a few days. The whole "Cinderella story bit eas his idea. He asked them to plant flowers there. They learned why after saying "Action."
Avoid Caddyshack 2.
Another great reaction by you, Jen.
For a great comedy I highly recommend, 'The Three Amigos', which stars Chevy Chase with Steve Martin and Martin Short, I promise you won't be disappointed.
MY Favorite Summer Movie is "Grown Ups" with Adam Sandler...and My-Mom's Favorite is "Summer Rental" with John Candy.✌
*Rodger Dangerfield* has his own comedy movie called *(Back To School)*
And even better: "Easy Money". "Easy Money" was his first starring movie, with Joe Pesci, HILARIOUS. I prefer it to Back To School, but that one is good too.
@@straypigs Underrated film
The 6 Million Dollar Man is an old T.V. show, from the 70's I think. The main character was injured and parts of his body was replaced with mechanical parts. This basically made him a superhero. Every time he used these parts that noise was made.
He was played by Lee Majors and was also known as the Bionic Man.
Any time he he ran fast, did a strength move it was always in slow motion to that weird music/sound effect.
Yes it is from the 70's. He was testing an experimental rocket plane and it malfunctioned. He lost his legs an arm and an eye. Every time the camera cut to his face when he was looking long distance it would focus on his eye and make the sound. It had a similar but slightly different sound when he would jump. ruclips.net/video/LfxswTfscSs/видео.html and jumping and running sound fx ruclips.net/video/K82kFgBgHGc/видео.html
Especially when he jumped or used his "bionic" eye...
My mom's relayed to Lee in some way. The noise made was the sound effect made when his "bionic " eye or arm and legs would do something superhuman.
"Stripes" is another classic Murray/Ramis 80's comedy.
Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Ted Knight and Rodney Dangerfield in the same movie together? You're guaranteed a classic comedy!

Breaking Away (1979) is like a serious version of Caddyshack. Wet Hot American Summer (2001) is like a parody of '80s teen comedies that takes place at a summer camp.

This is a true classic movie! Top cast, a interesting series of subplots, and of course the gopher made it a hit.
The whole scene with Bill Murray and the flowers (It's in the hole!) was improvised by Bill on the spot. Ramis just told him to do something goofy and so he did.

The Six Million Dollar Man was a tv show from the 70s about a test pilot that crashes his aircraft and has mechanical parts (bionic) replacement for lost limbs and eye. Whenever he used his bionic limbs the sound effects used sounded like the noise he was making.
If you like Rodney in Caddyshack, you'll love him in Back to School. Bonus: early film appearance by an Iron Man.
One of the greatest comedies of all time. The more times you watch it, the more jokes you catch and funnier it gets. The star comedians are at the top of their games.
If you want summer camp movies, Meatballs (1979) (more Bill Murray) and Little Darlings (1980) are absolute must-see films.
Another Rodney Dangerfield movie you would enjoy is Back to School. Other Chevy Chase movies are the Fletch movies and Spies Like Us.
This was Rodney’s first movie. They didn’t how he would work out as he had no experience other than stand-up, lots of improv in his legendary performance.
Oh yes! Fletch and Spies Like Us are classic 80s comedies. I forget how Fletch Lives (2) was.
I love Dangerfield's Easy Money. Chevy Chase was also great in Funny Farm and Seems Like Old Times.

They added the gopher to bring the film together and Harold Ramis wanted a real animal to play the gopher but couldn’t do it so they did a mechanical one. Which to me is better cause they can do more with a fake one. The sequel wasn’t really that good mainly cause it feels forced like they had to make it. Another golf movie to check out is “Who’s Your Caddy?”.
Love this movie. Bill Murray and his brothers own a restaurant about 20 minutes from me called Caddyshack.
Hi Jen! Your natural and immediate grasp of music is awesome!!
Thanks for the reaction to one of my favorite comedies. Every time I hear "I'm All Right" by Kenny Loggins, I do the gopher dance.
Heavyweights is a good summer camp comedy with Ben Stiller that most people aren't familiar with. His character in the movie is reminiscent of his Dodgeball character.
I've had a theory for years that Dodgeball is a secret sequel to Heavyweights
@@dustywaynemusic6297 Obviously 'White Goodman' is the kind of fake identity he would pick to reinvent himself 🤣🤣🤣
Love reliving these old classic movies. You seem to have a lot of fun with them, which makes them even better!! Keep up the great work. 😂
The gopher was the MVP of this movie. Enjoyable reaction as usual. Summer movies for recommendation-Meatballs (1979 Bill Murray) The Great Outdoors (1988 John Candy and Dan Aykroyd), Summer Rental (1985 John Candy), What About Bob? (1991 Bill Murray), The Goonies (1985 Sean Astin and Josh Brolin), Addams Family Values (1993 Christina Ricci), and a couple more serious summer movies Stand by Me (1986 River Phoenix), My Girl (1991 Dan Aykroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis).
As an 80s kid one of my favorite summer movies was Meatballs, definitely a classic
I found out recently that the out of place section with the pregnancy scare was there because the movie was originally written to be centered around the young caddy Danny, but when the high profile comedians signed on his role was reduced and all the comedians were given larger roles, changing it from a coming of age drama to a comedy.
yes, i was kind of rooting against danny actually
@@longfootbuddy Looking back on it there are some cringe moments. For example when Chevy Chase slips a pill into the drink of a girl half his age to have sex with (date r*pe?). She's going around sleeping with every guy in the movie. Danny cheats on his gf with her...
@@petercofrancesco9812 I dont have a copy to watch back right now, but im pretty sure he just mixes some opened bottles together to fill one up, put the pry off cap back on, and then shake it up to look like its just fizzing when he opens it up.
@@petercofrancesco9812 true.. true.. im fairly used to cringing.. been doing it all my life
@@petercofrancesco9812 No, he doesn't put anything in her drink.
Summer movie recs - Summer Rental (John Candy), Meatballs (Bill Murray), Heavyweights (Ben Stiller), Ernest Goes To Camp (Jim Varney)
If you want a Canadian early 80's cult classic, you gotta check out Heavy Metal, from 1981. First adult animated film I ever saw, based on a popular comic magazine originally from France called Metal Hurlante, which showcased outrageous stories of all genres, and the movie is like a pure embodiment of everything a geek could want: fantasy, sci-fi, horror, comedy, all with various gorgeous styles of animation, and with an absolutely badass soundtrack to tie it all together.
This movie and Animal House were popular comedies for us frat boys in college back in the late 70’s and early ‘80’s.
Chevy Chase in Fletch(1985 ) if you like the synth music from Beverly Hills Cop you will like the catchy tune in Fletch.
Jen, I smiled when you confused Harold Ramis for a Raimi. Two entirely different directing genres. Ramis was also the director of "Groundhogs Day". If you like BTS stuff there still may be a doc on YT about how when they were filming this, it was a non-stop party. In the '90's, they released an automated gopher that looked exactly like it did in the film, complete with fur. You'd push a button on it's base and it would do his twisting dance from the movie to the Kenny Loggins song. I wish I still had mine. There is an inferior sequel, the only retuning character is the gopher. Bill Murry did another summer camp movie called "Meatballs" you may enjoy.
Ramis was the one with glasses in Ghost Busters.
@@Cheepchipsable And in Stripes.
It's Ramis, not Raimi. Harold Ramis wrote Ghostbusters with Dan Aykroyd and starred in it, the guy directing Ghostbusters 1 and 2 was Ivan Reitman.
My summer movie I would say is The Secret to My Success with Michael J. Fox and Helen Slater. And the reason is because it always shows on TV here in Sweden on summers, even this year and twice. A very underrated romantic comedy from the 80's and I think you will like it, Jen =)
I watch Jen Murray everyday so I got that goin' for me.
Two great "summer" movies - One is another Bill Murray flick, Meatballs. Another is Mark Harmon in a movie called Summer School. Both are classic comedies that you'll love.
Yes, Summer School is very enjoyable and very unreacted to.
I was going to suggest both of those movies as we6.
Jen needs to see Texas Chainsaw Massacre before Summer School 😅
Great reaction Jen this movie is absolutely a favorite among many. Its from 1980 so having more of a 70's vibe would fit. I'd suggest Real Genius with Val Kilmer from the mid 80's and Breaking Away 1979.
This movie is a riot. Must've watched it at least 100 times. A true classic.
We snuck in to see this when I was 12. This movie was everything.
So much fun rewatching this cheers yt nice recommendation . " Think I have enough butter now "🧈 lol umm yeah I think so hahaha. Number 2 is even more bonkers but definitely a laugh that's for sure 😅 cheers Jen for starting my week with laughter 🔥😀💙
Meatballs with Bill Murray is a good 80's summer camp movie. Actually 1979 but close enough lol
Summer Camp means Bill Murray in Meatballs.
Another summer kind of film is Splash, Tom Hanks' breakthrough role.
The intro track is by the king of 1980s movie songs, Kenny Loggins. He also sang Footloose for the film of the same name and Danger Zone for the film Top Gun.
This was filmed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and they didn't have permission to blow up the golf course. A pilot getting ready to land at Fort Lauderdale International Airport, a few miles away, thought it was a plane crash when he flew over it.
Thank you for the reaction!
Here are some comedy movies with .......
*Bill Murray:*
Meatballs (Summer Camp Counselor)
Stripes (Military)
*Rodney Dangerfield:*
Back to School (College)
Easy Money (Baby Photographer)
*Chevy Chase:*
Fletch / Fletch Lives (Undercover Reporter)
Funny Farm (City Writer moved to the country)
All these movies are comedies.
Haha, another 80's classic! Great fun. 😊
Real Genius-Val Kilmer comedy about college life, underrated cult classic comedy
Midnight Run-Robert Di Nero buddy comedy, same director of Beverly Hills cop.
“Meatballs”. Great “camp” movie starring Bill Murray. Kids going to summer camp with adult humor. Thanks for all you do!
Some older summer movies that I loved growing up: Little Darlings and Indian Summer. Indian Summer stars Bill Paxton and Diane Lane.
6:42 - "I've heard that!" - The Gopher guts song predates Caddyshack. "Great green gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts. Marinated monkey meat. All these things are very, very good to eat." :)
6:50 - "Kinda cute." - You can buy an animated version of the gopher. It dances to the song I'm alright by Kenny Loggins.
11:38 - The Six Million Dollar Man was a TV show about a test pilot who was in a bad plane crash. He lost both legs, an arm and an eye. The government rebuilt him with "bionic" parts, giving him super vision, great strength and super speed. Since this was the 70s and special effects were limited, especially on a TV show budget, they would show him lifting something heavy (like a car) while a similar noise played to clue you in to the fact that he was doing something super-human. "Steve Austin, astronaut. A man barely alive. We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster." It also had a spinoff, The Bionic Woman, as well as several TV reunion movies.
Jen my go to summer movie from my childhood is the original Bad News Bears(1976) not that unwatchable Billy Bob Thornton remake. Walter Matthau is great along with my first preteen crush Tatum O'Neal
Fun fact, Jen: As raucous as this looks on screen, it was even worse off screen. According to director Harold Ramis, getting this crew to show up on set sober was a miracle in and of itself. It was a wonder this film got made at all!
Sober no. Hung over? Later in the day.
...and he thought the gopher was damaging the course. 😂😂😂😂.
kenny loggins ..the best music in movies...caddyshack/footloose/top gun.. all the main hits are all from kenny loggins
Just sitting here watching the splendid Jen react to a classic ....."so I got that going for me"
😂😂
A very good Dangerfield film is Back to School 😊 (1986)
At 16:40 "Fastest guitar solo ever."
You might change your mind if you watch the movie "Crossroads" with Ralph Macchio. His character wants to be a blues guitarist. As a guitar player, this movie is so good with the musical talent involved. It's pretty good with one of my favorite movie moments, ever.
11:35 in the late 70s there was a TV show called: The 6 Million Dollar Man. He was half man, half machine. Whenever he used his bionic powers, that sound was made.
I quote this movie almost daily. "So I got that goin' for me."
You've probably heard people say many lines from this film but didn't know it, like, 'You'll get nothing and like it!'
@ 20:38 This was Bill Murray and Chevy Chase's only scene together in a film. They had a fight in 1978 while both were on Saturday Night Live and never reconciled so they never acted together in any movie ever again.
I recommend Stripes. It stars Bill Murray and Harold Ramis
One of my all time favorite comedies. Another raunchy teen comedy I think you’d like is Porky’s. The guy that played D’Nunzio is in it.
Might be considered extremely poor taste for this day and age, but it was huge at the time.
Loved this movie, and it reignited Rodney Dangerfield's career for a whole new generation.
*Heavyweights* is a must see great summer camp movie!
*Mearballs* also with Bill Murray, I'm sure has already been recommended, so I'll just agree with it.
*Ernest Goes To Camp* I loved as a kid, I still do but it is made to be a silly movie for kids.
*Camp Nowhere* is a very underrated film in my opinion, I think it is such a cute movie, it also has a mini _Back To the Future_ reunion of sorts!
*The Sandlot* is not a camp movie but is the _essential_ summer movie you need to see.
*Summer Rental* is a great John Candy family on vacation movie.
*The Great Outdoors* Also with John Candy and Dan Aykroyd too on this one.
*One Crazy Summer* a Savage Steve Holland movie for a surreal fun funny summer adventure! I love this movie!
*Summer School* to check in on those poor souls who missed out on summer fun, but the movie itself still brings the funny!
*Stand By Me,* in my opinion, is the perfect movie to close out summer!
Best Regards!
Fast times at Ridgemont High would be a good watch
Great reaction, Jen. You're fun to watch. Here are some of my favorite 70s / 80s movies:
"Annie Hall"
"Body Heat"
"Fast Times at Ridgemont High"
"Gandh,"
"Highlander"
"The Matrix"
"Mississippi Burning"
"The Right Stuff"
Two 80s movies for you with Rodney Dangerfield, Easy Money and Back to School.
Cool reaction as always Jen, you take care sweetie 🥰❤️
This film was basically the spiritual successor to Animal House, which was written by the same team of writers. Both movies are largely episodic narratives that focus on an ensemble cast, and both explore a common theme: snobs vs. slobs. Class disparity is a motivating factor in the crass behavior of the heroes: why would they conform to the rules of a society designed to keep them down?
In this particular film, Rodney Dangerfield's character represents New Money clashing with Old Money. Not only is his source of income associated with the working class, but he's from Eastern European (and possibly Jewish) descent. His family undoubtedly came to America in poverty, and now he has the audacity to think that his hard-earned money can buy his way into a club intended for those with generational wealth. And on top of that, he dares to criticize the club members for being out of touch.
These themes are picked up again in the sequel, which was intended to be a Dangerfield-focused vehicle. But he dropped out, and Jackie Mason came in to play a nearly identical character. Chevy Chase and the gopher return for the follow-up, but the end product wasn't quite on par. Much of what was implicit in the first movie was explicit in Caddyshack II, and Harold Ramis essentially wrote a less subtle and more cartoonish remake of the original film. (He also didn't bother directing this time.)
Love "Animal House"
This was the most quoted movie among my friend group in college. Such an awesome movie!
Ernest Goes to Camp is a fun summer movie. Another good one is What About Bob- not sure if you’ve seen that one, also has Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfus in it.
Another fun... when I was a bartender at the Disneyland Hotel, they use to play this movie all the time in the Cast Cafe. LOL
What a great classic. Just love watching your reactions.
Bill Murray didn’t have a script, Harold just let him do his own thing, he is a master of improv
2 favorite summer movies, Flamingo Kid, and Breaking Away. Also, anything that ends in a boat race.
Ted Knight, who played Judge Smails, was lovable/hatable news anchor named Ted Baxter on a very popular TV show in the 70s called the Mary Tyler Moore show.
Chevy Chase was on the first season of Satuday Night Live then he left and was replaced by Bill Murray. I forget why but they hated each other during the making of this movie though they have since made amends.
That one guy is also Bill Murray's brother, who also had minor roles in Vacation and Christmas Vacation.
“Meatballs” is the ultimate summer camp movie! Bill Murray’s first movie I believe. It’s a classic comedy.
Lol SO many children ,..I grew up with 7 brothers and 2 sisters , it was AMAXING honestly, we had so much fun! My brother has 14!!!!!! With k ly 1 set of twins and they are the most amazing family! I’ve got 3 little daughters that are my life and it feels like such a small family being a single dad with jsut 3 daughters (and their yellow Lab Daisy) but they are the most awesome daughters ever!
Albeit a small role, Harold Ramis is in "Knocked Up," which is another comedy that you may enjoy. Also, please watch "Top Secret!" and "Soapdish"
My favorite small role of Harold Ramis is Orange County
I love it when CC translates Chevy Chase as Chubby Chase 😂
the next to movie to see is ( back to school ) with RODNEY DANGERFIRLD ,,, a good movie
So glad you watched it! Absolutely love your channel 😊
JEN: A Comedy Classic (in the spirit of a crazy fun Summer Camp Movie by way of College Fraternities) by THE SAME PEOPLE that brought you CADDYSHACK: "ANIMAL HOUSE"!
Your thumbnail is literally me rewatching this reaction 😂🏌️♂️🧈💥🔥💙
