This is the ultimate "boys gone wild" film. The one that set the tone and standard for all frat boy flicks to follow. Though this film has its' raunchy moments, it's pretty tame compared to the gross out fests we've come to expect from young male bonding ...read the complete Animal House movie review at Crazy for Cinema

NATIONAL LAMPOON'S ANIMAL HOUSE, made in 1978 and set in 1962, remains one of the -- no, fuck that noise -- *the* funniest movie ever made.

Though 1939 is considered by many to be the greatest year in American cinema, 1978 isn't too shabby either. That year brought us seminal films across many genres, including The Deer Hunter, one of the first films to deal with the Vietnam War; Grease, a ...read the complete Animal House movie review at Cinescape
