Animal House – 1978 Landis
- Borrows heavily (pop soundtrack, date (I think it’s 1962 for both films), ensemble cast) from lucas’ American graffiti– hilarious nostalgia
- A wonderful, booming Elmore Bernstein score
- Love the casting of Donald Sutherland
- “Louie louie” by the kingsmen 3 times in the first 15 minutes
- noted for Belushi’s performance but it is much more of an ensemble piece
- Great individual scenes driven by not directorial decisions- like the “shout” song
- A very MASH slapstick ending except they have the parade blowout instead of the football game
- In the archives but not in the top 10 of 1978
- Recommend
