Thought we should have a thread for Harold Ramis.

He has crossed the streams.

Seriously, how many people still quote Animal House 35 years later?

RIP.

He lived in my hometown, although I never met the man. Despite that latter bit, I still feel a bit closer to this one than I have to many others, just knowing that he haunted my old haunts, as well.
And, oh yeah, comedic genius.

Ramis' 1st feature script was Animal House. 3 of his 1st 4 directing jobs were, as @HitFixDaniel notes, Caddyshack, Vacation & Groundhog Day
