    Trying to think of movies like Van Wilder, American Pie, Eurotrip etc? Are there any obvious ones I'm missing? (I did search the forum first btw :))

    House Bunny, Road Trip, Orange County (not great), Dead Man on Campus...

    That's all I've got for the moment.

    College movies are mostly rubbish, in my opinion (I hate that phrase). It's like the romantic movie genre, mostly terrible, but the good ones are brilliant, but too few. Accepted could have been brilliant, but its only saving grace was Lewis Black.

    Rules of Attraction is quite funny.

    And Undeclared is better than most of them.

    Rules of Attraction sounds familiar, can't remember if I've seen it. Haven't seen Undeclared yet.



    Here's a few more I came across that haven't been mentioned:
    Fired Up!
    The Girl Next Door (Elisha Cuthbert... *drool*)
    Porky's (1982)

    Jesus you havent seen a lot of the college comedy classics :p.

    Porkys is a must see really, it high school but still worth a watch.

    Could also check out Weird Science

    Not a movie but I enjoyed the ABC Family series Greek

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0976014/

    Shame there wasn't more seasons but I found that although in the pilot a lot of the characters come off as incredibly shallow and it seems like just another stupid college show that this changes quickly and the characterisation throughout the seasons was great and you begin to question the supposed protagonists and antagonists at times throughout. Very lighthearted too so plenty of comedic moments. Kind of went under the radar I thought.

    License to drive, starring the 2 coreyssmile.gif, not really a college film, the guys in high school, it more along the lines of ferris bueller, its one of my favorites,
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095519/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,224 ✭✭✭✭Marty McFly


    If were going to start adding in high school aswell, could throw in Better off Dead aswell, kinda in the Ferrie Bueller mould aswell.
