Watched Back to School last night, what a classic... This guy was so awesome.

Which movie was your favorite RD Character?

 
This should not even be close - "You're a lot of woman, you know that? Yeah, wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?"

 
Al Czervik: Oh, this is the worst-looking hat I ever saw. What, when you buy a hat like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh?

[looks at Judge Smails, who's wearing the same hat]

Al Czervik: Oh, it looks good on you though. :rolleyes:

:lmao:

 
Our girls are doing gymnastics camp this week. They talked about a new type of flip they learned on the trampoline, some type of straight leg backflip. I asked them if they had learned the Triple Lindy yet. They said no, and asked what it is. I pulled up my phone and showed them the clip from Back to School. They thought it was hilarious.

Caddyshack, Back to School, Easy Money are the only acceptable answers

Agreed. Anyone who votes outside those 3 has to be doing it for shtick.

That said, I wouldn't fault a vote for any of those 3. All great movies/roles. He has the least screen time in Caddyshack, but maybe the best character for his shtick. Easy Money, a little more subdued, but there was a little bit more nuance to that role (I can't believe I'm saying this....) Back to School was kind of the perfect intersection of character and screen time, so I voted there but it's 1, 1A, 1B for me.

 
My dad took me to see Easy Money when I was 8. We were at Williamsport and it was raining. He had no idea about the movie.

I think it might have been my first movie boobs

 
You'd have to specify theater/cable. Except for some of the fogies around here that didn't have cable until after they were old enough to see "R" rated films in theaters (I'm not all that far off, I think I was 7 or 8 when we first got cable - late 70s/early 80s.)

 
hmm - I was 12 when that came out. I know it was my first theater boob and definitely first boob sitting next to my dad.

I'm sure I was younger for something on cable. Now I need to figure it out

I don't know all of RD's catalog (Caddyshack would win for me easily) so I read this entirely in Rodney's voice thinking it was a joke of his. You can pull it off with complete ease up until you get to "Back to School". Give it a shot, you'll enjoy it.

 
Back to school wins it for me. Caddy shack is a great movie, but it would still kill without Rodney. Easy Money is probably number 2 for me, but being from Staten Island where the movie was filmed added a next level to it. That diner kept the open 23 hours sign up for years.

 
Back to School is funny, but it hasn't aged that well, IMO. It still had a lot of good one-liners, but some parts of it are a bit cringe-worthy. Pretty much every scene with his dorky son.

Age has nothing to do with it, those were cringe-worthy when the movie first came out. And its still a hilarious film.

 
The last time I saw a mouth like that, it had a hook in it.

And this is your grandson, huh? Oh, wonderful boy! Yeah, he's a good boy. Now I know why tigers eat their young.

Oh, this your wife, huh? A lovely lady. Baby, you're all right. You must've been something before electricity.

Woo! The dance of the living dead!

This all happens in the span of a couple minutes as Al works his way through the country club gala dance floor and dining room.

 
Back to School, but isn't this a Shatner argument? Whatever character he is playing is Rodney Dangerfield.

To answer the movie boob- Total Recall 9 y.o. Seeing three on your first go around scars you a little.

 
I was a couple years too young for Caddyshack but Back to School was right in my wheelhouse. Maybe there's an age thing at play here - for me it's BTS and not remotely close.
