Stripes

Actors:  Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, John Candy, Judge Reinhold, John Larroquette, Sean Young, PJ Soles, Warren Oates
Rating: 7 out of 10, still a very funny movie with cool scenes from where I went to basic training at Ft Knox shot just a year or so after I was there. (spent many an hour marching where Murray in standing in the photo and in the barracks behind him) The movie loses a little bit of its edge once they graduate but up to that point it is one of the funniest movies ever.  Oates is a great foil for Murray and unless he was a better actor than I believe he was - I think he really hated Murray.   Murray and Ramis (before he put on 200 pounds) make a great team.
MVP:  Murray as John Winger, possibly worst soldier ever still carries movie
