(FOUR) BACHELOR PARTY
This movie left a mark on my childhood. I don’t know why the hell I saw this movie as a kid, but I did. You know how “shocking” and “hilarious” the movie “The Hangover” is? I agree. “The Hangover” is one of the better comedies to come out in recent years. Still, I can’t hold back the fact that this 1984 Tom Hanks movie is about a million times more shocking and a million times more hilarious. There is 80’s music, hookers, donkeys, crazy characters, drugs, and Tom Hanks in the midst of it all. If you like vulgar and dirty comedies, you need to see this one or forever be uncool.
(THREE) OLD SCHOOL
When Vince Vaughn throws a college party he does not screw around. I know Vince Vaughn was playing a character and all of that, but I don’t see this party being believable in anyone else’s hands. The kids were doing keg stands and all of that. That leads to Will Ferrell’s character going streaking. Luke Wilson’s character hooks up with an underage girl. Oh… and Vince Vaughn introduces Snoop Dogg. I’m not doing it justice. Go watch it.
(TWO) HOUSE PARTY 2!
Most purist are going to say the first House Party, but I was way more into the second one. It was a Jammy Jam! For those who weren’t loved enough to be exposed to this hip hop movie phenomenon, a “Jammy Jam” is a pajama party. The idea of having a party with girls wearing PJs is great. I also like the business ethics of this movie. They actually charged guys to come to the party and let women in for free. The needed money is made and all is great. We also get a young Queen Latifah in one of her earliest acting roles. Seriously, go rewatch this movie.
(ONE) ANIMAL HOUSE
TOOOOOOGAAAAA!!!! I’ve put a lot of thought into this. I can’t think of any better movie parties than the Toga Party in Animal House. They wore togas, got drunk, danced, one dude was screwing an old woman, one dude was screwing a young chick, and John Belushi was running amuck. I’m pretty sure that’s a check list for a great party.
