One of the greatest comedic directors. Works included "Caddyshack," "National Lampoon's Vacation," and most importantly "Groundhog Day."
 
 
Comic genuis born from the SCTV/National Lampoon school of the early '70s; an then transitioned to the golden age of the original SNL cast as more of a behind the scenes type. Also strong writing contributor to Animal House.

Animal House/Caddyshack > Blues Brothers > Trading Places > Stripes > Vacation 1 > Meatballs > Everything else...
