I like them all. LOVE them all. But for some reason, in a Rocky kind of way, I love Tin Cup. I hate KC but I love the movie. And Cheech is great.

Caddyshack is the classic of the group. And I'll stop surfing instantly if I come across it.

And Happy Gilmore... 'nuff said. Adam Sandler rocks.

But Tin Cup takes the cake as far as I'm concerned.

Added Bagger Vance and Best Game Ever Played

I'll add it... But I was kind of ignoring that one.

Because it was more of a drama thing???
I vote for Happy Gilmore. Pop culture references quote lines from this movie frequently still.
--edit--fix my grammar. please.

Follow the Sun
Tin Cup
Greatest Game Ever Played
Bagger Vance
Happy Gilmore

The first five are worth watching, Bagger and Happy Gilmore suck

Tin Cup is probably my favorite.

But I'm one of like 7 people in this world that likes Kevin Costner.

Hard to choose between Caddyshack and Happy Gilmore for the best. The Legend of Bagger Vance would be third place for me.

Follow the Sun is a great movie! I bet most who post here have never seen it, though.

Either they have not seen it or were too stupid to understand it. Happy Gilmore should not be mentioned in the same breath as a classic like Caddyshack. But the sad part is that there are a bunch of 14 year old children who think Adam Sandler is funny and most of them are on ATOT.

Golf is a mental game. Tin Cup harnessed that mental aspect and played it perfectly.

It was incredibly funny, just not slapstick funny.

I'm twice that age, and i find Sandler funny (most of the time) but Caddyshack is a FAR better golf movie than Happy. No question about that.

i bet if you buy a hat like that you get a free bowl of soup. Looks good on you though.

I'd be willing to bet that 99.9% have never seen Dead Solid Perfect either, it's a crime that was never released on DVD. Too bad because it's far superior to Tin Cup and is a clear #2 to Caddyshack. If you like golf try to find a copy on VHS, it would be worth your time.
