Don't know how all you feel about this flick, but it's one of my personal favs. NEVER gets old, but then again...I usually space out my viewings. It's easily one of the best comedies of the 90's in my book. Great quotable lines in this movie...and Shooter has got to be one of the funniest characters, along side Ben Stiller's :).

Shooter: "Jeez, ya know I could really go for a Pepsi"
Virginia: "Sure..I'l.."
Shooter: "Oh, and miss?.....diet."

    Great movie but it doesn't quite measure up to Billy Madison.

    I think of 70's and some early-mid 80's movies loosely as "classic". Calling Happy Gilmore classic is calling No Code classic. ...or are we really getting old, and "classic" is an apt term?
    ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you. :)

    I could recite all the lines all day, who has time for that anyway?

    It's one of the best he's done.

    great movie though... that and billy madison... everything else sandler has done is pretty "meh"

    Haha, I think this movie may have one of Ben Stillers greatest performances.

    "My fingers hurt..."
    "oh yeah? well now your back is gonna hurt because you just pulled yourself landscaping duty'

    with cars, the word classic arguably starts around 15 yrs of age...Happy Gilmore is approaching 14 yrs, so it's borderline :lol:

    but it's subjective enough to apply to something you personally think will become a classic, as in all-time-great...whatever :lol:

    Happy Gilmore is a great show, but I don't think I've seen it since I tired of Sandlers schtick a bit...I wonder how it'd hold up?

    Shooter: "You're in big trouble, I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast
    Happy: "You eat pieces of shit for breakfast"?

    and

    Shooter: "Yeah, right, and Grizzly Adams had a beard
    some other guy: "Grizzly Adams did have a beard"

    With all of the shitty movies/TV show/music coming out today, stuff from the 90's is definitely classic.

    the bob barker fight scene is one of my favorite scenes ever.

    Virginia: I thought we were going to be just friends.
    Happy Gilmore: What? Friends listen to "Endless Love" in the dark.
    I can't teach common sense.

    As a golfer I really enjoy this movie.

    I love the part with Kevin Nealon and when Happy nails Chubb's hand off and it gets run over by the truck.

    "Oh don't worry about that, made of wood...real sturdy!"

    "Damn alligator bit my hand off!"

    "OH MY GOD!"

    Love it! Kevin Nealon's role is good for some laughs as well, but I just love that guy as an actor, he always cracks me up. He's great on Weeds.

    and later, Ben Stiller is on the phone making a deal with someone about selling the knitted goods..

    So Chubbs, why didn't you play any other sports like football?

    My mom wouldn't sign the permission slip.

    Yeah, good call.

    Nobody has mentioned the first 5 minutes? I love this movie.

    Everytime I catch this movie, it's always past the first 5 minutes...so I don't remember is it the hockey tryouts, or the girl-friend/Subway scene?

    Anyhoo,
