"Animal House".............Four decades later

[Historic NY]

Filming the cult classic movie, which created a whole genre of gross-out comedy, took place in Eugene less than a year before its summer 1978 release. Four decades later, The Register-Guard goes back to college — Faber College.

Learn what places around Eugene, Dexter and Cottage Grove were site locations for the film, and whether the legacy remains. See photos of how the locations looked then and now. Check out photos taken during production. Find out what familiar phrases entered the lexicon. And read a current UO student’s reaction to seeing the movie for the first time.

Finally, be sure to test your “Animal House” knowledge by taking a pop quiz.

16. ...

[oberliner]

17. Think about the sexism and misogynist elements

As well as homophobia and racism.

[geardaddy]

18. This is true.

You couldn't make a movie like this now, but given that it was a movie made in the 70s about the 60s, I think it still hold up.

[oberliner]

24. It's strange watching some of those 70s and 80s films today

When you look at it with a modern-day sensibility regarding those topics.

But this is The Lounge, so I'll just leave it at that!

[Tribalceltic]

27. You just have to be able to look at it from the time in which it was made

[geardaddy]

12. I just watched "A Futile and Stupid Gesture"

on Netflix about Doug Kenney, the main screenwriter of the film. He also co-founded National Lampoon. It's a pretty good movie. It goes into a little about Animal House.

15. I really enjoyed it.

I remember when the magazine first came out. I was working in a drug store at the time and we would get the Harvard Lampoon. I think it came out once a year. Then we started getting the National Lampoon and I would laugh my butt off reading it.

There were blanks in that gun!

Now, she should be good-looking, but we're willing to trade looks for a certain... morally casual attitude.

Toga! Toga!

Dad! Mom, Dad, this is Larry Kroger. The boy who molested me last month. We have to get married.

25. I always loved getting corrected on the internets whenever

I used the line about "when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor".


I've always wondered if this film had flopped, would John Belushi have lived longer.
