top 4 college movies of all time...

to me at least...

#1. PCU -even though this movie doesn't have ANY nudity in it at all (all the other movies on my list do), it's still shows college life in the way most movies never get around to. and it's very intelligent.

#2. Revenge of the Nerds -shot at the campus of the university of arizona, this movie has it all. it's funny, it shows the underdog overcoming great odds, and it's the ONLY movie i know of that re-inacts the tradition of the panty raid...classic. good view on 80's greek life too.

#3. Van Wilder -it's by the people of national lampoon, and it's funny, clever, and still holds on to that sick humor that made national lampoon such a mainstay in comedy movies throughout the years.

#4. Animal House -it's a classic. not much more to be said. it's what started the tradition. plus, it has tom hulce! the guy who SHOULD have got an acadamy award for his role in Amadeus.

for right now there is no five. i have strict rules on the choosing of these movies and NO none of the american pies count. maybe Road Trip could be #5, but it's just an okay movie, there are a lot of okay college movies. I listed the ones that have staying power, in my mind. the ones i listed are movies that EVERYONE in college should watch at least once.

I'm watching "So, i married an axe murder" right now, that's kinda what sparked me to do this. i love that movie.

other movies to check out that are good "college time" movies (not movies about college) are:
1.the evil dead series (they're all awesome)
2.the rocky horror picture show (tim curry! come on! if you haven't seen it you owe it to yourself)
3.singles...(if you go to UW and know ANYTHING about seattle or the music, watch this movie, probably the best romantic comedy out there period. it's not sappy or overly lame, and it has a KICK ASS soundtrack)
4.a clockwork orange (it's crazy, check it out)

the list can go on and on, but there are some suggestions.

i know this is kind of a random post...but i'm sick so leave me alone!

-OUT
