1978 Answer: Animal House
This John Landis-directed National Lampoon film was a breakout hit for John Belushi, the Saturday Night Live star who became an instant movie star for his portrayal of the hard-partying Bluto.
In the same year he appeared in Animal House, Belushi also appeared in Goin’ South, which Jack Nicholson starred in and directed. Belushi felt like he didn’t have enough to do in Goin’ South, which Animal House trounced at the box office.
