National Lampoon's Animal House, the iconic college comedy Film, is celebrating its 45th anniversary. The film was initially set in high school but was moved to college to avoid explicit content. The script was written by Doug Kenney, Harold Ramis, and Chris Miller, who drew inspiration from their own college experiences. The film featured mostly unknown actors due to budget constraints, with John Belushi being the highest-paid actor at $40,000. The University of Oregon allowed filming but insisted that the film not be explicitly tied to the university. Despite initial hesitations, the film became a huge success and has since become a cult classic.
