Harold Ramis and John Candy love them. RIP.😢
I'm glad that Harold Ramis got some props for his performance. His deadpan delivery was awesome.
Saw this as an 19 year old at the movies and loved it, still do, was very familiar with Bill Murray from his SNL days and Caddyshack the year before...you just knew his star power was gonna go higher and higher...
Very funny movie. This and “Ghostbusters” are Bill Murray at his funniest. I could also say his Carl Spackler character from “Caddyshack” is also very funny.
you' are wrong..." Groundhog Day" and "Lost in Translation" are considered his top comedic performances
People used to wonder why they had two critics who clashed so often hosting that show. Well i cant remember any movie that Roger and Gene BOTH liked that I didn't like too. if they both liked a movie you could be sure it was great
Except for Speed 2 lol
@@paulmichels7928 You took the words right out of my mouth lol.
An all-time classic. I used to know that movie by heart.
Loved stripes. This and Arthur best comedy of summer 81.

@@matthewdunham1689 actually Porky's and Das Boot was released in 1982 in the US.
"Stripes" was the very first R-rated move I ever saw. Still one of the funniest.
Very good film although it does lose some steam during the last 40 minutes of the film.
miss siskel and ebert.
Basic training part of movie classic after that it loses chops.
Yeah, it loses steam.
"Any 'a you suck-holes wanna knock me off?". Hilarious.
Two thumbs up!
Not sure how Ebert felt when Candy says, “My doctor said I swallowed a lot of aggression...”
That's cause Ebert swallowed a lot of pizzas (c'mon the set up was right there)
One of the funniest films I’ve ever seen.
Great cast! Bill and Harold Ramis are the main stars of course, but John Candy is the wild card! “ People tell me I swallow a lot of aggression,...along with a lot of pizzas”....
I wanted Harold in the worst way watching it.
thank you for uploading this! Big Bill Murray fan.
I saw this in the theater when I was a kid and I loved it.
I saw it recently for the first time and i thought it was very funny but i could not stand the third act
@@alfiedean4212 Yeah, the stuff where they are getting shot at with machine guns and nobody gets hit was stupid.
i loved this movie very hilarious
They were so off with the movie "Better Off Dead."
What does it have to do with Stripes?
Funny how they mentioned the earlier Meatballs but not the earlier Caddyshack, which definitely used Murray's comedic style well.
In Caddyshack Murray was a bit rather than a full character with some air time
This movie was released 40 years ago, the same year I was born!
At least they got this one right
Harold Ramis also directed Caddyshack... wonder why they didn't mention this film in their list of Summer Comedies... being that Caddyshack makes the top 10 AFI comedy films of all time
John Candy was good as usual but not the rest. I hated Bill Murrays character, he joins the army voluntarily then goes against everything they say for no reason.
He was playing his usual "wiseass" character. That act got old after Ghostbusters. He never made a hit comedy again.
Groundhog Day wasn't a hit? What About Bob?
I don’t think he was purposely going against the Army. Aside from Warren Oates as the drill sergeant the other commanding officers particularly John Larroquette’s character were portrayed as idiotic and unfit to lead and the idea as Siskel said was Murray was smarter than most of them and basically laughed at a lot of their incompetence except for Oates’ character who stood his ground and was a smart and competent leader. Plus not to mention the scene with he and Oates in the latrine was supposed to prove that while Murray was an arrogant wiseacre he couldn’t escape Oates strength or authority and learned a hard lesson. I can see your point don’t get me wrong and I do think the last act of the film is a little weak but I still love this and it is one of my favorites from Murray. Plus it was one of Oates’ last roles and it’s success opened the door for these guys to make Ghostbusters.
5:21 "He doesn't look like a movie star at all..." yet he's hotter than most typical movie stars today! Anyone agree?????
I always use the Aunt Jemima treatment when I get into a pinch. Then I spray my sweet syrup all over 'em.
I saw Stripes when it first came out and less than 6 months later I enlisted in the Army.
came out on tis date in 81
I miss mud wrestling!
Army training, sir!😁😁😁
Basically it's Full Metal Jacket as a comedy lol
You mean Full Metal Jacket is Stripes as a drama
@@spaceace4387 Yes that's exactly it
Funny funny movie.
Nope, this film has not aged well.
Explain?
I bet you're a liberal that believes a man can become a woman just because he claims to be one.
Not liking a popular movie doesn't make you cool it makes you an idiot.
Uh oh. We got a moron here.
Lighten up Francis
Did not like Stripes. ¯\_("/)_/¯
Lighten up, Francis
Never been a fan of Bill Murray.
Me neither.
