Animal House (1978)
Faber College has one frat house so disreputable it will take anyone. It has a second one full of white, Anglo-Saxon, rich young men who are so sanctimonious no one can stand them except Dean Wormer. The dean enlists the help of the second frat to get the boys of Delta House off campus. This film gives high-jinks and fooling around a bad name. The dean's plan comes into play just before the homecoming parade to end all parades for all time.
The epitome of a classic comedy, Animal House defined what Fraternity life was like in different forms “back in the day.” Many of today’s stereotypes about Fraternities come from this movie. In fact, Harold Ramis, a brother of Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity, co-wrote this movie and involved actually stories from his chapter and personal experiences. If you have never seen this movie, which I truly hope everyone has, you absolutely need to, seriously. Only one word describes this movie, COLLEGE!
