Animal House

Now that I only a have a semester left in my college experience I finally decided to watch the favorite college movie of all time, Animal House. Over the years I've seen bits and pieces but I've never seen the whole thing at one time. And while this habit of mine is always interesting and has introduced a lot of movies to my collection, it does get annoying when you've seen the same parts over and over again. So when I finally get a chance to see a film all the way I jump on the opportunity. I must admit I'm sad that it took me this long to see Animal House all the way through. I thought that it was one of the best comedies I've seen over the years. While a crude comedy at points, it was concerned with making you laugh at all times unlike many of the comedies out today. I am not a fan of the gross-out comedy and hate it when everyone tries to tell me that those kind of comedies are the best. With films like Animal House there is clearly a type of comedy that doesn't have to rely entirely on grossing out the audience, just a little bit will go a long way. Whether this fact is because of the difference in times or whether it's because directors have gotten lazy over the years the world will never know. To leave you I have decided to include one of the best scenes in the film.
