Drubbed by critics who sniffed at its bawdy, tasteless gags, 1978s National Lampoons Animal House became a box-office smash that spawned a host of imitations (right up to the present day) and wormed its way into our collective consciousness. Inexpensively produced with a talented but largely unknown cast and a director with one modest hit (Kentucky Fried Movie) to his credit, Animal House revolutionized the way Hollywood makes comedies. The raucous antics at Faber Colleges disreputable Delta House had audiences howling with laughter: Who knew dead horses and toga parties could be so funny? Rowdy frat boys and 60s pop tunes in movies became de rigueur overnight; John Landis became a hot director; cast members Tom Hulce, Karen Allen, Kevin Bacon went on to become stars; and many of the films punch lines became part of our cultural vernacular. Best of all: More than 20 years later, Animal House is just as funny as ever. Ed Hulse
