  1. SLACKERS with Pete from Pete & Pete and Jason Schwartzman

    But that's just off the top of my head. I'll probably think of a better one.

  4. Animal House. Everything else is a distant second. It set the standard.

    ZERO...POINT....ZERO.

  5. Animal House with Back To School second.

  6. Obviously Animal House is the classic.

    But Dead Man on Campus and PCU get honorable mentions.

    Is it just me, or are there not many good college movies out there? Other than the 2-3 movies already mentioned, most college movies are raunchy, stupid messes. And not even the good kind. Whereas there are dozens of well-written, timeless high school movies.

      The phone conversation with Rodney was even better.
      “Hey Vonnegut, how do you get a D writing a paper about yourself? Fuck me? Fuck you Vonnegut!”

  14. Savage Steve Holland's 'How I Got Into College'

    Brilliant film

    I keep DVD copies on hand to give away to friends whose kids are applying to school so they can keep some healthy perspective on the whole process.

    Animal House. But, to be fair, I haven't seen most of the others.

  22. Aside from the already mentioned obvious answer

    The Rules of Attraction.

    Great movie.

    Didn't we all go through a Bret Easton Ellis phase?

    Animal house of course was what I was weaned on in my generation but I think it promulgated some unhealthy attitudes toward sexualltiy and partying. I always wanted to bring home a high school girl in a shopping cart.

    PCU is second but was ruined by Piven, thanks bud. Anyway the best part about that movie was the guy doing his thesis on television commercials. I always wanted to break down each commercial and identify the psychological conditioning and persuasion techniques used in advertising as a term paper.

    The other best part of that movie (at the time) was when the movie highlighted P-Funk, reminds me of the time I gave George Clinton one of my nugs on stage and on camera and he smiled at how dank it was and put it in his dashiki, thanked me and continued singing.
