http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2014/02/24/ ... at-age-69/Legendary Chicago comedian, screenwriter and director Harold Ramis — who gave us such iconic films as “Animal House,” “Caddyshack,” and “Groundhog Day,” and co-starred in “Ghostbusters” — has died after a long illness.
The Second City comedy troupe, where Ramis got his start in improv in 1968, confirmed he died Monday morning.
Harold Ramis RIP

Animal House, Stripes, Caddy Shack, Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day. A Second City alum today said, "Harold Ramis was the single most influential mind on mainstream American comedies in the last fifty years." That seemed wrong, but then I couldn't think of a better choice.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

I was a Ghostbuster for Halloween in 1984. That was the movie of movies for me then and still 100% rules today.
Groundhog Day and Caddyshack are also 'watch them a million times classics' for me.
