National Lampoon's Animal House

funny funny funny with some wild and crazy. belushi was one of the best.

I'm shocked this is so far down the line. Easily was the funniest movie ever until Borat was released!

Though a little raunchy at times, I loved this movie. I bought it for my boyfriend's birthday and it was his favorite present.

This is the original movie and it's still hilarious! Buy it! Let your inner teenager out.

Love this movie! Teenage debauchary at its best!

I Love this movie. Its hilarious.

Classic slapstick.

Never watched it but from what I hear its a classic.

Merchant sold an item he could not deliver. He returned my payment but only after I inquired as to the where-a-bouts of my purchase. Approximately a month passed.

This movie was funny when it came out and it's still funny today--both because it's a classic movie and because I get tickled remembering how I got tickled then. My husband and I didn't grow up anywhere near each other, but we can watch this movie together now and it's as if we're about the ages we were when this came out, and time gets zipped. I laugh at the same things I laughed at then, and find he's laughing at the same things I'm laughing at. Not bad for a 30-some year old movie!

Animal House is one of the classic comedies. It's hilarious, and for that I give it five stars. But unfortunately, it is also one of the largest contributing factors to people perception of college fraternities. Sure, there are fraternities out there that remind me of animal house, but there are plenty that are nothing like it.

Buyer Take Note! I've been a fan of this movie since its theatrical release in 1978 and give the movie five stars. However, National Lampoon's Animal House 30th Anniversary Edition (30AE) is simply a re-release, and the third dip on DVD, has nothing significantly new to offer from the previous release and my rating is for the 30AE release. The two documentary extras have been carried over from the 2003 Double Secret Probation Edition (DSPE). It does return the trailer from the 1998 Collector's Edition (CE). New to this release is a lame Scene It? game. Missing are two extras from the DSPE, the Shout music video and a text commentary of anecdotes. One improvement from the DSPE is that on the 30AE you are not forced to watch movie trailers before you get to the main menu. Universal appears to be repackaging this film every five years. The 30AE should have delivered all the previous extras and an audio commentary by the director, writers and cast. The trailer is amusing, but is it worth b... Read more

ya baby

absolute classic

oh wow

tehaaaha

Love this movie!!! R.I.P. John Belushi

THAT WOULD BE MY FRATERNITY, DRINKING BEER AND PARTYING!! LOL.

Who doesn't love this movie? Seriously, stand up and count yourselves among the few.

Any National Lampoons is funny

FOOD FIIIIIIIGHT!

Own it

I don't really remember this one....the same year I was born

It was funny and just a little cheesy.

National Lampoon's anything is a hold your breath title.... LOL. It could be good , bad, ugly , funny ......... BUT the newer ones could never compare to the Christmas Vacation and others starring Chevy Chase..... they are just way too funny to compare.

Fawn Liebowitz was waaaay hot.

never seen but it rox

We watched this my senior year during Science class. I was in BASIC (a special program) people ranked on us but look what we got to do during class while you were learning physics!

Also a classic!

haven't seen this one

I liked it. But I think it might have fell a little short for me because of all the hype on it!

Another classic. My favorite part would have to be the toga party where "zit" take's this guys guitar and bashes it on the wall. God, how many time's have I wanted to do that?!

I never saw it but if it started toga then its awesome.

I know this movie is supposed to be a classic, but it wasn't as funny as I had imagined it would be.

Who hasn't seen this film? Belushis' best as far as I'm concerned. Tim Matheson was perfectly cast as "Otter" too. The actor that played "Dean Wormer" is a great bad guy out to close the disgracefull Delta House fraternity. Good music and over the top chaos make this a classic.

Does it have flaws? Yes! Does it bring back memories of the good old days? Did it establish a genre (for better or for worse?) Yes!

I have the Double Secret Probation Edition on DVD. Brilliant movie and some cool extras on the DVD.UPDATE: No clue on the album. Such a thing is as random as the movie, though...

Hilarious. Offensive yes. And hilarious.

A must see.

Take into consideration the fact that they had a group of people who were largely inexperienced, very little money, and no history of this kind of movie to help carry it, it's that much more impressive how good and funny this movie is. Everything from Porkys to Fast Times at Ridgemont High to American Pie can draw a line from their success to Animal House. Is the success of Animal House over? Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

who sent the cadavers to the alumni dinner

They can't do that to our pleges - only WE can do that to our pleges! So un-PC and funny it wouldn't get filmed today.

Planes Trains & Automobiles beats out Animal House??? Oh I don't think so! This movie put National lampoon on the map. A timeless classic!

i was like 10 years old and my uncle took me to go see it. he used to always drag me along with him and his friends it was great. after seeing the movie and it was hilarious to a 10yr old . i thought i was a big shot at school the next day telling every one i got to see it. belushi and the mash potatoes classic. makes you miss belushi even more and to realize what a great talent the world lost

The King of Comedies. My #2 favorite movie of all time (next to Rocky). Though primarily lowbrow, anyone who went to college can relate to this movie (I was not a Greek, either). If I had to rank my favorite scenes, it would go: #1 Mind if we Dance With Yo Dates; #2 Marmarlade -- Raped in Prison -- Niedermeyer -- shot by his own troops in Vietnam; #3 Bluto's inspirational speech to the Deltas (Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor); #4 Double Secret Probation; #5 I'm a zit; #6 Bluto smashing the guitar; #7 The Devil/Angel scene; #8 The parade; #9 The reaction of the Deltas when they see Dorfman for the first time; #10 The expulsion scene with Dean Wormer. I can watch Animal House over and over and still laugh at the same scenes. I freakin' actually had an incident similar to the Fawn Leibowitz scene. I pity the young dude who is a quite prolific rater here and gave it 1 star. All I can say to you dude is that you need to start drinking heavily.

It's a shame comedies like this are so rarely made anymore - clever, warm-hearted, and funny throughout. I still think, Over? Over? Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell, no! is one of the funniest lines in cinema, delivered as it was by a guy who really should not have been in college to start with.

I love this movie! Has to be seen uncut the networks butcher it. Truly one of the funniest films ever made with a great cast.

Released in 1980 and directed by John Landis, National Lampoon's Animal House has become the standard college film against which all sophomorish comedies are measured. There is no real plot, as the film simply takes us through the madcap adventures of the Delta Fraternity House at Faber College in 1962. The Delta's are essentially a group of slack professional students, drunks, and general underachievers, namely John Bluto Blutarsky (John Belushi), Eric Otter Stratton (Tim Matheson), et al. Unfortunately, Dean Vernon Wormer (John Vernon) is not a fan of the Deltas, places the fraternity on double secret probation, and entices the rival, straightlaced Omegas to help him get Delta's charter revoked. This movie breathed new life into the fraternity concept, not to mention food fights and toga parties. While many critics and comments concentrate on John Belushi's performance, this film was successful largely due to Tim Matheson's portrayal of the smooth, ladies' man Otter and the use ... Read more

A must own classic that I never get tired of. The devil and angel on fighting over whether or not he should have sex with the girl is absolutely hilarious. Crude humor at it's best.
