- Scott and SharonOctober 1, 2025Stripes, a comedic gem, features Bill Murray and Harold Ramis at the zenith of their comedic brilliance, complemented by Warren Oats’ delightful addition to the comedic stew that is Stripes. John Candy, just beginning his comedic journey, joins the cast alongside John Laroquette as the bumbling CO.
- ርልዪረFebruary 23, 20258.6 of 10 for the genre. Bill Murray and Warren Oats should get along just fine, right? Heh, heh. Bill and Harold Remus, way before they saved NY from slime, need to do something with their lives and come up with joining the Army. How hard could it be? Turns out a healthy dose of self-determination can get the most flippant knuckleheads knuckling ahead. Encouraging... but is that good or bad? Personalities clash, gates get crashed, and a fat man gets bashed... but in a good way. Fortunately, Sean Young and P J Soles are professional M.P.s with better fitting clothes than you and me, and are determined to keep trouble to a minimum. But then there's the Bill Murray thing. John Candy assists in unit cohesion. Enjoy!
