Animal House (1978)

Animal House
The comedy of a generation takes place at Faber College during the Kennedy era. Delta House is the worst fraternity on campus. Its members are known for sex, drinking and bad grades. The assortment of misfits is recognizable. John Belushi is the class clown: "7 years of college down the drain!" Otter is the ladies' man who beds the dean's wife. Neidermeyer is the gung ho ROTC officer: "Drop and give me 20!" Boone and Katy are the incompatible couple. Donald Sutherland is the English teacher having an affair with Katy. Dean Wormer's attempt to crack down on Delta is in vain. They simply go on a road trip or have a toga party. Even the statue of the college founder is funny: "Knowledge is good."

All time comedy classic

College Orientation
Classic American film. Wacky humor of a much more sophisticated level than most current 'college-films', i.e. American Pie etc. Perhaps it's a generational thing but film humor,of this genre, has become debased into vulgar,locker room street language. Current film makers should study this Classic before scripting any more vulgar, vile attempts at filmic humor aimed at the unsophisticated American youth of today.
