Some of his legendary directing and producing work includes National Lampoon's Animal House (1978), Meatballs (1979), Stripes (1981), Ghostbusters (1984), and Twins (1988). Ivan and Jason Reitman later became one of only two father/son producing teams nominated for a Best Picture Oscar for the film Up in the Air in 2010.
