This 1978 comedy showed how movies went viral before the age of the Internet. When this film was released, most members of the college-age generation were driven to see it, with word of mouth anointing it instantly as a special, must-see experience. It turned Saturday Night Live player John Belushi into a movie star and comedic force, and captured playful young anarchy as perfectly for the Seventies as Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, a decade later, would do for the Eighties. Other familiar faces in Animal House include Tim Matheson, Karen Allen, Kevin Bacon, Peter Riegert and Donald Sutherland.
