Meatballs

I could be missing a couple.

I mean, I wouldn't put Meatballs up there, although I would say underrated.

Enjoyed it.

So when I got this piece of information, it got me thinking, how many of these sort of camp movies were actually directed by teenagers? And I'm running down the list, like a movie like Meatballs, directed by Ivan Reitman, who was 32 at the time.

So I got to be exposed to those at a very young age.

And those like classics of my dad's generation or like the tail end of my generation, Animal House, Airplane, Back to School, Caddyshack, Stripes, Meatballs, like that sort of comedic era.

My dad loved those movies, even like the Kentucky Fried Movie stuff I wasn't supposed to see.

Of course.
