As we all work to improve our social distancing and follow the recommended guidelines from the CDC and others regarding the coronavirus pandemic, we also find ourselves stuck at home.
Of course we’re bummed out by all the cancellations of sporting events and other activities but we’re also probably worried about loved ones, our communities, our jobs.
One way to lift our spirits is to enjoy a good laugh watching movies we love.
Any real golf fan already owns a copy of the movie Caddyshack, perhaps the greatest golf movie ever made.
If that’s you, then you’re good. You can pop in that DVD (or dare we say VHS?) anytime you’re ready.
Maybe you already know this but the 1980 classic is not on Netflix, believe it or not. The movie was among those that came off the service last November. (Caddyshack II also left Netflix at the same time and that’s all we’re going to say about that movie.)
In fact, these five golf titles are not to be found on Netflix:
- Caddyshack
- Tin Cup
- Happy Gilmore
- The Legend of Bagger Vance
- The Greatest Game Ever Played
So if you don’t own a physical version of these movies, here’s where you could stream them:
If you subscribe to Fubo, you can watch “Caddyshack” there.
“Happy Gilmore”, the Adam Sandler/Bob Barker classic, left Netflix on New Year’s Eve. It can be found on Starz.
“Tin Cup” can be streamed if you have a CBS All Access subscription.
“The Greatest Game Ever Played” is available on Disney+, so that’s cool.
“The Legend of Bagger Vance” can be streamed as part of Showtime or Fubo subscriptions.
If you have Amazon Prime, these titles are all available to rent for $3.99. They’re also all available for rent on other streaming services such as Youtube, Apple TV, Google Play and probably some others. Redbox has rentals for $2.99.
You can also purchase these titles and add their to your digital collection.
If you still have all your old DVDs buried in the back of that entertainment center, dust ’em off, plug in that DVD player and show your kids how life used to be, when you had to get up off your couch to put in a movie.
