Sad news - Harold Ramis dies aged 69

I love a good comedy film and during my youth I loved the films of Harold Ramis. He will be missed.

"National Lampoon's Animal House", an all time favourite of mine, the little gem "Stripes" (1981), which I discovered long after it was released and "Ghostbusters" plus  "Caddyshack" (1980), "National Lampoon's Vacation" (1983), "Groundhog Day" and "Analyze This."

Perhaps I look back on these movies with those old rose-tinted glasses of youth, but there's no denying he had an influence.  Many a movie has tried to emulate his works but most fail in comparison.
