Hot Tub Time Machine (2010)

John Cusack, Craig Robinson and the manic Rob Corddry return to 1986, when all the best sex and drugs were at ski lodges (“Hot Dog: The Movie”), where Crispin Glover (“Back to the Future”) is a bellhop in a hilarious male wish-fulfillment fantasy.

Daniel Melnick (1932-2009)

As a producer and studio executive, Daniel Melnick made the classics “Straw Dogs,” “Network,” “All That Jazz” and “The Goodbye Girl.” But coolest of all, he hosted monthly poker games that included Johnny Carson, Steve Martin, Neil Simon and Chevy Chase.

Caddyshack (1980)

Four knockout comedic performances by Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight and Bill Murray carry a Marx brothers-style farce set at a snobby golf country club. Chase and Murray improvised most of their dialogue, including their only scene together — ever.
