IMDb plot summary: At a 1962 college, Dean Vernon Wormer is determined to expel the entire Delta Tau Chi Fraternity, but those troublemakers have other plans for him.
Directed by John Landis. Starring Tom Hulce, Stephen Furst, Mark Metcalf, and Mary Louise Weller.
This movie has had a looot of other comedies imitating it, getting ever louder and grosser, but this one actually works decently well, by alternating between noisy, icky scenes with slightly quieter, more subtle bits. There's a lot that, not surprisingly, doesn't work in here for me, but there's a sense of comedic artistry and purpose that I don't see in a lot of the films that imitate it later. Appreciate it, don't love it.
