Sure, I've seen Animal House at least 10 times during the past 14 years, but it's one of those classic comedies that is worth pulling out and rewatching occasionally. I noticed many little details and a few little jokes I'd never caught before thanks to the significantly increased picture quality due to the progressive scan image on a 57 inch screen.

For 1978, I'm sure audiences thought of "Animal House" as outlandish in the same way that today's audiences thought of "There's Something About Mary" as outlandish. It's just that back then, moviemakers didn't have to go as far. Now, they have to keep finding new ways to overstep previous borders.

Animal House is a true classic comedy.

For years, I always wanted to look at the Psychology exam that was being copied on that old-style copier. I was able to freeze the frames and see the individual letters on the page with no problem. As a service to the film-tech audience, here is a reproduction of the text on the page that is legible or not covered. Note that it is a history test of some sort with "PSYCHOLOGY 101" placed at the top!
