Speaking of Animal House: we couldn’t go too far without mentioning the 1978 John Landis classic that convinced many a parent that sending their kids to college was just throwing money down the drain. In 1962 (the same year as American Graffiti, and tapping into a the same sense of pre-assassination innocence), a couple of nerdy freshman make a run at joining a more prestigious fraternity at Faber college, only to find themselves stuck with Delta Tau Chi, an assortment of slobs with dismal academic records, led by John Belushi’s Bluto Blutarsky. They’re also at war with just about everyone: the fancy frat next door, the ROTC cadets, and authoritarian Dean Wormer (John Vernon). There’s not much of a message here, nor much socially redeeming value, but that’s rather the point.
