OT: Best College Movie

[nwhoopfan]

This maybe hasn't held up that well but enjoyed it during the 80s.

Even though Ronald Reagan chose not to appear in this sequel, Bonzo Goes To College deserves consideration.

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

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?

Thanks so much for posting. I don't remember seeing this retrospective in the past, though I had seen and read about some of the bits in other places. Great stuff. An immortal flick!!

Knowledge is Good!!

Oh, just remembered this one!

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).

Rudy should be under consideration.

"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.

"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.
