John Belushi stars in the 1978 raunch-out comedy Animal House (screened outdoors). It’s wildly uneven, a period film that no one thinks of as a period film (looking back to the pre-Vietnam heyday of the Greek system), but some people will defend it to the death. Tim Matheson, Peter Riegert, and Tom Hulce, join Belushi at the Delta house; Donald Sutherland and Karen Allen barely preserve their dignity as errant faculty; Kevin Bacon begins the “Six Degrees of Bacon” game in his small role as a WASPy ROTC pledge at the evil rivals’ fraternity. Yes, you may wear a toga to the screening. (R) BRIAN MILLER

    Don't forget that this flick was shot in the NW, at the University of Oregon - and was one of two appearances of Donald Southerland on the faculty of that institution. As a high schooler in that City at the time of the release of that movie - in the classic years of Saturday Night Live - the movie provided more than a little inspiration for 'exploring' locales and other themes.... History may well yet prove the movie to be as culturally iconic as Southerland's other character, the legendary Bill Bowerman, in the Prefontaine movie.
