Animal House is one of those great movies, full of silly debauchery - yet I can watch it with my five year old (well, most of it, unfortunately there are a few scenes where we go and get more popcorn, and a few occasions where I have to hit the "mute" button).
Like Bugs Bunny in that sense.
RIP Flounder!
D-Day: Hey, quit your blubberin'. When I get through with this baby you won't even recognize it.
Otter: Flounder, you can't spend your whole life worrying about your mistakes! You (mute on
)... you trusted us! Hey, make the best of it! Maybe we can help.
Flounder: [crying] That's easy for you to say! What am I going to tell Fred?
Otter: I'll tell you what. We'll tell Fred you were doing a great job taking care of his car, but you parked it out back last night and this morning... it was gone. We report it as stolen to the police. D-Day takes care of the wreck. Your brother's insurance company buys him a new car.
Flounder: Will that work?
Otter: Hey, it's gotta work better than the truth.
Bluto: [thrusting six-pack into Flounder's hands] My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.
Otter: Better listen to him, Flounder, he's in pre-med.
D-Day: [firing up blow-torch] There you go now, just leave everything to me.

My favorite comedy. They don't make 'em like that anymore. Truth to tell, fraternity life at U Penn back in the '50s wasn't that far from the movie; in fact I read the book Animal House was based on by (I forgot the author's name) during his undergraduate days at Dartmouth. I once slept over night in a Dartmouth fraternity house - I had gone up to NH to see an ice race. At 3 am, the student whose bed I was in came busting in demanding to know what the F%$# I was doing in his bed. I explained someone had told me he had gone home for the weekend and that it was ok. Turned out he had a date at Skidmore College. He told me not to worry and took another bed. Ah college days.
