Some days, there’s just no justice in the universe. Actor and filmmaker Harold Ramis, creator of classic comedies such as ‘Caddyshack’, ‘Ghostbusters’ and ‘Groundhog Day’, has died suddenly at the age of 69. If we could relive this day, could someone please prevent this from happening?

After starting out as a writer and performer in Chicago’s Second City<\/em> comedy troupe and its ‘SCTV’ television series, Ramis broke into the movies in a big way with his script for the instant classic ‘Animal House’. He went on to write other hits including ‘Meatballs’, ‘Stripes’ and ‘Ghostbusters’ (also starring in the latter two). As director, he helmed ‘Caddyshack’, ‘Vacation’, ‘Groundhog Day’ and ‘Analyze This’, among others.<\/p>\n Even if he also had a few duds (such as the ‘Bedazzled’ remake and his final film, ‘Year One’) mixed in there, the guy was, simply put, a comedy legend. According to pretty much everyone who knew him, he was also one of the nicest people to ever work in Hollywood.<\/p>\n Harold Ramis died on Monday morning from complications related to a rare circulatory disease called autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis, which he suffered from for a few years. He leaves behind a wife and three adult children.<\/p>\n The following Harold Ramis movies are currently available on Blu-ray:<\/p>\n Additionally, Ramis directed several episodes of ‘The Office’ in Season 3 (‘A Benihana Christmas’, ‘Safety Training’ and ‘Beach Games’) and Season 6<\/a> (‘The Delivery: Part 2’).<\/p>\n\n
