It’s hard to believe that it’s been 35 years since this smash-hit frathouse comedy was first released. Amazingly enough, Animal House only received mixed reviews when it came out—though both Time magazine and Roger Ebert named it one of the best movies of 1978. Critics didn’t really matter, though, since the film grossed well over $100 million, making it the third-biggest of the year, behind only Grease and Superman.

Might just be...my friend.
My daughter, does, however, love “The Three Stooges” and always has, since she was little.
It's just humor and how's it's meant and presented.
I'm pretty sarcastic....and I have a gift of seeing hearing stuff...when others don't too. Sometimes it's a curse. Ha!!
I love the heck out of "Blazing Saddles"....It's so non-PC...it's awesome.
“...Blazing Saddles...”
Great flick!!
Who dumped a whole truckload of fizzies into the swim meet?
Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner? Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring the toilets explode.
"...if you mention extortion again...I'll have your legs broken."
I just found out about it a few years ago. It's definitely on my list of places to visit.
I saw this when it first came out. It instantly took me back to the hilarious, gross, tremendously fun years I had in a fraternity while in college. I howled with delirious laughter the whole time. It was really accurate because it took all of the wonderful craziness of those four years and compressed it into 90 wonderful, unforgettable minutes. The lovers’ lane scene where the girl removes a rubber glove after doing an unspeakable to her boy friend immediately took me back to the legend of “the girl with the golden arm.” I leave the rest to your imaginations.
I’m University of Illinois, undergraduate lass of ‘65. That movie brought it all back.
We have bonded over:
Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Caddy Shack, Young Frankenstein, Meatballs, Ghost busters, Airplane, The Blues Brothers, Dumb and Dumber, etc. Women do not get these movies. It is some kind of X / Y chromosome thing. I tell my wife that she just does not have a sense of humor.
That sir is a disgusting image and is indicative of why the senate is unworthy of respect.
Neidermeyer , Douglas C.
I think they are masquerading as Judd Apatow movies ;)
That’s pretty cool. Thanks!
There was nothing fictional about the food fight scene. There actually was an Animal House style food fight my freshman year ('66 or '67). Sadly, I missed it, and only saw the aftermath as they were cleaning up the mess.
Ha! The funny thing is, my kid and I watched these together, then HE got HIS friends interested in them as well, so they perpetuate.
Good stuff, all around.
In the ‘Double Secret Probation Edition’ DVD, John Landis got a bunch of the former cast members together to do a “Where Are They Now?” short film.
Hoover was an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney in Baltimore.
Otter was still a gynecologist in Los Angeles.
Flounder still does EST counseling in Cleveland.
Dean & Mrs. Wormer divorced. Dean Wormer was in a retirement community in Florida. Mrs. Wormer is a barfly in New York.
They caught up with D-Day in California, but he ran away.
And Bluto & Mandy....became President John Blutarsky and the First Lady.
No he didn't.
This fat, drunk and stupid kid
...Became the Centauri Emperor.
Not sure; however I remember seeing the large letters paint sprayed on the boulders of the Jersey Turnpike. The letters were there for many years.
I hate that SOB with a passion.
He even had the nerve to show up at Vic Morrow’s funeral and give some rambling speech about the movie and that it was Vic Morrow’s ‘last gift to us’. He also appeared at the little girl’s funeral even though he wasn’t invited.
What an utter scumbag.
LOL. “Your mother sews socks that smell!”
