Old Time favorite

This Movie has been a favorite of mine ever since I was a Kid. I recently got it on DVD (after losing the copy I had on tape 13 years ago) and it felt like being reunited with an old that hasn't been seen in over a decade. one of my favorite parts is when the Sheriff is fighting the Coast Guard guys in the supermarket (do they even call it that anymore?). I also like the music from the movie as a matter of fact I managed to find one of the songs and downloaded it. I don't know if anyone else has seen this but I think if anybody is looking for a classic comedy I would recommend that the checkout this movie even though it is an old movie.
