11 Home Lessons We Learned at the Movies

Wild toga parties and motorcycle rides up the stairs took their toll, to be sure, on Faber College's Delta house (a ramshackle Queen Anne) in this comedy classic starring John Belushi and Tim Matheson. And using the lawn as a parking lot didn't help the landscaping. No wonder the snooty, wealthy Omegas wanted their rowdy neighbors out.

Moral: Good fences make good neighbors. Even though a classic picket would stylistically go better with a Queen Anne, a tall privacy fence will keep the neighbors happy.
