Youthful indescretion knows no better friend in cinema than the movie that
defines it, Animal House. Every frame of the film typifies how every American
recalls his college years, whether or not they were filled with debauchery.
Especially beloved is John Belushi as Delta Tau Chi's Bluto, the worst cut-up
in the most obnoxious fraternity at Faber College (motto: Knowledge is Good),
but the entire cast is so perfect -- from Tom Hulce to Bruce McGill to Donald
Sutherland -- that one has trouble finding a sour spot in the entire picture.
Of note is the new Collector's Edition DVD, which features a 45-minute
present-day interview with the cast and crew about the making of the film, plus
behind-the-scenes footage of the production. A gem.
Aka National Lampoon's Animal House.
