The inspiration for all of those Road Trip/American Pie/Old School movies. DVD review.
A group of no-grade students gets kicked out of college only to seek revenge on the Provost.
Seminal comedy from the '70s that contains one hilarious scene after another. Not that this makes any sense and the story is practically non-existent. Lovely Allen is the female student waiting for her irresponsible boyfriend to grow up. Sutherland is the couldn't care less English teacher. Furst is the fat guy who gets picked on because of his size. Belushi is the mad but tragic character to be found on his own at parties, trying to grab attention. Hulce is the new entrant to the fraternity who gets involved with a thirteen-year old girl! Vernon is the spiteful college head who kicks the heroes out. Bloom is his sexy wife who gets involved with one of the students. There's also Otis Day and his Knights playing a great version of "Shout". Practically every scene from this movie has been ripped off by recent comedies.
Animal House is the original and the best.
