This classic movie was certainly a model for my college life. A fun movie that has it all; romance, adventure, suspense, horror, drama, tragedy, war and redemption. Oh did I forget comedy? And some big name stars in this, as well as a very young Kevin Bacon (for you 6 degree fans out there, he's the ROTC guy who gets run over by the crowd at the end). While, yes much of the humor is sophmoric at times (this is college life), many of the scenes in this movies have been used elsewhere. There is also a tenuous tie to the Van Wilder movie; the caracter played by Tim Matheson, (Otter), may be the father in Van Wilder, also played by Tim Matheson. There is also a hats off to this movie in Old School as well (the whole frat house thing).
Animal House. This is a classic. There are so many quoted lines and so many scenes in this movie that will stay with us forever. If this movie is not in your collection, you should be embarrassed.
This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Not all of the language and antics would be recomended for young children but it is very entertaining for adults.
After enjoying a toga party at my hometown, I decided I should watch the ORIGINAL toga party to see if it compared. I was so sure that I would love it that instead of simply renting it, I bought it. This is a Lampoon's classic! TOGA, TOGA, TOGA! I love Belushi he's always such a ball of fun! From his eating mannerisms to his weird ways, Belushi makes this movie worth watching.
