The comedy hit of 1978 and the big screen debut of Saturday Night Live comedian John Belushi. The raucous, beer swilling members of the Delta House university fraternity take on Dean Wormer (John Vernon), after he puts them all on probation and plots to expel them. A spinoff from magazine National Lampoon, Animal House is credited as launching the gross-out comedy genre.

Semi-autobiographical film based on the experiences of gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson (Bill Murray). Thompson's drug-fuelled journalistic adventures covers a free-for-all San Francisco drug trial, a one-on-one bathroom interview with Nixon and the giving away of Superbowl tickets so that he can review the game from his hotel room.
