This 1978 comedy classic proved the crossover power of Saturday Night Live, which had launched in 1975,to a new generation of moviegoers, by making a star of supporting player John Belushi – whose role and performance here, as Bluto, is 95 percent id. (The psychological term, not the stuff in your wallet.) And as with other films shown tonight, Animal House is loaded with familiar faces and fabulous performances – including, in this case, Stephen Furst, Tom Hulce, Mark Metcalf, Tim Matheson, Karen Allen, Peter Riegert, Donald Sutherland, Stephen Bishop, and, in his first movie role ever, Kevin Bacon.
