This is one of those movies that works for all the wrong reasons--disgusting, lowbrow, base humor that we are all far too sophisticated to find amusing. So, just don't tell anyone you still think it's a riot to watch John Belushi as the brutish Bluto slurp Jell-O or terrorize his less-aggressive fellow students. This crude parody of college life in the '60s spawned many imitations, but none could match the fresh-faced talent or bad taste of this huge box office success. (Remember all those toga parties in the '80s?) The first of the National Lampoon movies, this was originally released as National Lampoon's Animal House. Keep an eye out for a very young Kevin Bacon in his first credited screen appearance. --Rochelle O'Gorman

JOHN LANDIS IS A BABY KILLER .......2007-09-12
That's correct.
He killed two small children on the set of "Twilight Zone".
Look it up.
John Belushi at his best.......2007-08-17
What can I say? This movie is one of my all time favorates. The cast of characyers here are awsome.
Fun Times.......2007-07-23
Being in college never looked so good. As part of a fraternity that never graduates, two guys are pledged into the fraternity and let the games begin. There is the toga party and stealing of food from the supermarket. the best part of the film is when they get booted off campus and everything is stripped from their frat house. John Belushi is funny in trying to cheer up everyone. And the most favourite part is the street fair. These guys certainly had fun in college. A great classic movie to watch even now, has a great following. And i am sure there will be more generations to come to discover this movie and take it to their hearts as well.
Toga - ToGA - TOGA.......2007-07-12
A movie that you won't forget. I can't say my college days were anything like the movie, but this is how most people would want to remember the experience. Every person in the movie is a person we have known - the class comedian, the jock, the coolest gal on campus...
Send the kids to grandmama's, draw the shades and turn up the volume, invite a few close friends over and enjoy.
It is that fun, the DVD is a keeper (bottom shelf, locked drawer)...
Double DOUBLE probation!.......2007-07-03
I have a dirty little secret. I hate to admit it, but I will just for you folks: I only recently finally watched ANIMAL HOUSE for the first time. I realize it's been on T.V. a zillion times, but I always deliberately missed it because I have a serious issue with censorship. If I'm going to watch a movie, I want to watch it EXACTLY the way it was supposed to be shown as opposed to some watered-down version that has been edited with a hack-saw.
So, finally, I got around to watching it / buying it. And, it was GREAT! Like a fine wine, it was worth waiting for. This is one of the pioneering movies of the party movie genre. In fact, it could even be considered the grand-daddy of them all!
ANIMAL HOUSE set the standard for everything that the best party films have to offer: raunchy humor, lots of males flunking out of college, an eccentric professor (or two), a sneak-peek @ the frat house milieu, an utter dis-respect for authority and (most importantly for me), lots of gratuitious nudity! If you watch pretty much ANY party movie today, you will readily see the influence of AH. The best ones took the best parts of AH and went off into different directions, while the worst party movies merely tried to rehash aspects of AH in a generic fashion.
There is no question that party movies are not for everyone. If any of the above offends you, you most assuredly will do best to skip over this flick. Nor would I recommend movies like AH to be used as didactic films. Rather, party movies (to me) are kind of a catharsis in that the characters do actions which I would never do myself, but secretly have wanted to.
On another topic, the cast contains quite a few actors who would become big names, such as John Belushi (this is the role he's typically most known for), Kevin Bacon, Donald Sutherland and Karen Allen. For the sake of nostalgia alone this film is worth a look. Just remember: it's OK to visit Animal House every so often - just be sure you don't decide to live there!

Rather, party movies (to me) are kind of a catharsis in that the characters do actions which I would never do myself, but secretly have wanted to.
On another topic, the cast contains quite a few actors who would become big names, such as John Belushi (this is the role he's typically most known for), Kevin Bacon, Donald Sutherland and Karen Allen. For the sake of nostalgia alone this film is worth a look. Just remember: it's OK to visit Animal House every so often - just be sure you don't decide to live there!

Red Blooded American Fun and More.......2007-03-02
This film pokes fun at good old fashioned American College campus antics. Gone are the good old days. Not really, you can relive them in this outrageous film. I love Donald Sutherland's sleepwalk performance as Prof. Dave Jennings. It is a real hoot. Verna Bloom is an unlikely and hilarious seductress. Tim Matheson is a standout and his career has never got the recognition it deserved. Matheson's cool aplomb really makes this film work along with Elmer Bernstein's score doing a somewhat self parody especially on his own swashbuckling THE BUCCANEER score with John Belush's antics during the parade.

Two classic movies on widescreen at a great price!.......2004-07-21
Despite what Turd suggests, it is clear that these are on widescreen. It also seems clear that these are the same as the regular versions that you can get all the detail you want on.
The best thing is the price.
What format?!.......2004-04-10
I wish I knew if this was widescreen or fullscreen. So much info missing on what you're buying. Buy them separate. At least you know what you're getting.

This is one of those movies that works for all the wrong reasons--disgusting, lowbrow, base humor that we are all far too sophisticated to find amusing. So, just don't tell anyone you still think it's a riot to watch John Belushi as the brutish Bluto slurp Jell-O or terrorize his less-aggressive fellow students. This crude parody of college life in the '60s spawned many imitations, but none could match the fresh-faced talent or bad taste of this huge box office success. (Remember all those toga parties in the '80s?) The first of the National Lampoon movies, this was originally released as National Lampoon's Animal House. Keep an eye out for a very young Kevin Bacon in his first credited screen appearance. --Rochelle O'Gorman
Customer Reviews:
JOHN LANDIS IS A BABY KILLER .......2007-09-12
That's correct.
He killed two small children on the set of "Twilight Zone".
Look it up.
John Belushi at his best.......2007-08-17
What can I say? This movie is one of my all time favorates. The cast of characyers here are awsome.
Fun Times.......2007-07-23
Being in college never looked so good. As part of a fraternity that never graduates, two guys are pledged into the fraternity and let the games begin. There is the toga party and stealing of food from the supermarket. the best part of the film is when they get booted off campus and everything is stripped from their frat house. John Belushi is funny in trying to cheer up everyone. And the most favourite part is the street fair. These guys certainly had fun in college. A great classic movie to watch even now, has a great following. And i am sure there will be more generations to come to discover this movie and take it to their hearts as well.
Toga - ToGA - TOGA.......2007-07-12
A movie that you won't forget. I can't say my college days were anything like the movie, but this is how most people would want to remember the experience. Every person in the movie is a person we have known - the class comedian, the jock, the coolest gal on campus...
Send the kids to grandmama's, draw the shades and turn up the volume, invite a few close friends over and enjoy.
It is that fun, the DVD is a keeper (bottom shelf, locked drawer)...
Double DOUBLE probation!.......2007-07-03
I have a dirty little secret. I hate to admit it, but I will just for you folks: I only recently finally watched ANIMAL HOUSE for the first time. I realize it's been on T.V. a zillion times, but I always deliberately missed it because I have a serious issue with censorship. If I'm going to watch a movie, I want to watch it EXACTLY the way it was supposed to be shown as opposed to some watered-down version that has been edited with a hack-saw.
So, finally, I got around to watching it / buying it. And, it was GREAT! Like a fine wine, it was worth waiting for. This is one of the pioneering movies of the party movie genre. In fact, it could even be considered the grand-daddy of them all!
ANIMAL HOUSE set the standard for everything that the best party films have to offer: raunchy humor, lots of males flunking out of college, an eccentric professor (or two), a sneak-peek @ the frat house milieu, an utter dis-respect for authority and (most importantly for me), lots of gratuitious nudity! If you watch pretty much ANY party movie today, you will readily see the influence of AH. The best ones took the best parts of AH and went off into different directions, while the worst party movies merely tried to rehash aspects of AH in a generic fashion.
There is no question that party movies are not for everyone. If any of the above offends you, you most assuredly will do best to skip over this flick. Nor would I recommend movies like AH to be used as didactic films. Rather, party movies (to me) are kind of a catharsis in that the characters do actions which I would never do myself, but secretly have wanted to.
On another topic, the cast contains quite a few actors who would become big names, such as John Belushi (this is the role he's typically most known for), Kevin Bacon, Donald Sutherland and Karen Allen.
