OT: Best College Movie

[RegisteredUconn]

Maybe not the best line of the movie but one of the top three. Not to mention some pretty sound advice (once one's left school that is).

 

[RegisteredUconn]

I fully expected our South Bend simian friend, and neighbor of the man from Java, to have nominated Rudy.

Rudy should be under consideration.

 

[RegisteredUconn]

"Trouble Along the Way" is a pretty good flick and the first place I heard the line "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing." Movie was made circa 1950, so long before Lombardi uttered it.

I'd give The Big Chill an 'honorable mention' in this category. Not exactly college, but...

No

Rudy should be under consideration.

By who?

I think this is the movie where Woody Woodbury has the following, immortal conversation (paraphrased).

Kid: Woody, you look beat.
Woody mumbles.
Another kid: You want a drink, Woody?
Woody (brightening): Good idea. Got any gin?
Kid: Sure!
Woody: Got any vermouth?
Kid (dejected): No.
Woody: Good! Make me a martini.

By who?

The Ruttigers, obviously. Except Frank. And shouldn't that be "By whom?"

Not a great movie, but a famous one

No

Yes ....

Some of the best moments from Animal House would definitely have to be censored on the Boneyard. Bluto’s speech was already posted so I wanted to add Otter’s classic speech.

If we allow Rudy, shouldn't we also have

My parents saw "Animal House" right before I went off to college. Since I was going to WVU that had a "party school" reputation I think seeing the movie probably gave them some heartburn. When they were moving me into my dorm (next to a girls' dorm) and the frat house next door had a bed sheet hanging out the window with "Don't worry mom, we'll take good care of her" and cherries painted on it I think their worst fears were confirmed...

"Animal House" and AINEC.

Just saw "Animal House - The Making of" and one of comments labeled Animal House the best college movie ever. I have to agree. What say you?

"Animal House" is No. 36 on The American film Institute's (AFI) list of the 100 greatest comedies of all time but I don't believe any of the films preceding it have a college theme so there's some validation for your opinion, Reg.
I'll leave it to an enterprising tech savant to post the list.

Always thought it was funny that Jeremy Pivens was a Dean in Old School. Here he's the antithesis.

Incredible classic.

In what universe are there 35 better comedies than "Animal House"?

There's nothing like strip football.

Clean version (hopefully)

Now there is a real classic!

 

[Waquoit]

Yes ....

The Big Chill is not a college movie. I'm not even sure Breaking Away qualifies.

 

[nwhoopfan]

There's gotta be a ton of horror movies set on college campuses. Not my genre, but I rather enjoyed this one. It's not really a slasher flick. It's not quite a spoof of one, but it has some comedic elements. Borrowing the Groundhog's Day time loop idea.

 

[Ozimoto]

Obscure college sports movie (which I freely admit I like because it has Annette O'Toole in it) was "One on One." I doubt anyone would consider it a "best of" movie though.
