One of my all time favorite movies. Lived in Texas for 20 years and this movie was GREAT.
Kevin Costner was almost an unknown at the time. The skydiving stuff was HILARIOUS.

Yeah, I think the Sky Diving scene was one of the alltime movie greats. I have been to Dom's rock as well. Pretty cool.

Animal House

All other Greek movies are simply imitations.

Yeah I agree....allthough I would add Fandango to the list too. Both are based on true events...which make them all the more entertaining. Animal House though is more centered around the Greek aspect, as Fandango is about a roadtrip between pledge brothers at Texas. Some claim the group was from Baylor.....but my dad will always contend that he new the character portrayed by Kevin Costner very well when he was at UT.

I don't think Animal House was "based on a true event". The writer, Chris Miller, was a member of Alpha Delta Phi at Dartmouth. He and the other writers sat down and told every fraternity story they could think of and then crafted a script around that. That's why the movie has such wide appeal; just about every fraternity man in America could cast that movie with members from his own house.

One of the co-writers for Animal House was Harold Ramis, a Zeta Beta Tau.

Filthy clothes coming out instead of the parachute:eek:

Very funny and Marvin J. McIntyre is gotta be the original hippie pilot/drug freak.

Looks like two of the unavailable "gems" are now available.

I'll probably pick these up...

I saw Fraternity Row on TV about 10 years ago, I've never seen Brotherhood
of the Bell, but I've been told it's one of the best.
