Top 10 Best College-Themed Movies

Top 10 Best College-Themed Movies

They say high school is the best part of your school life. Some movies seem to prove otherwise. The movies on this list make us all realize what’s great about being

in college, it is when we are old enough to do the “wild things” and young enough to enjoy them.

Here’s my top 10.

10. Legally Blond



The plot:

Elle Woods open the movie with her boyfriend ditching her instead of proposing to her. Instead of breaking down crying, she decided

to do what others never thought she was capable of doing, she went to Harvard just to be able to make her boyfriend realize what he had lost.

The college reality it reminds us:

There is always this one girl in campus we always misjudge. She may be the pink-wearing perpetually vain

sorority leader or the ugly duckling we often mistake for a wall. But she’s the one who turns out to be bigger than what she appear to be, more special than everyone

else. And she’s the person we are bound to look back in in the future and say, “Who would have thought?”



9. Wonder Boys



The plot:

Grady Tripp is a professor/writer living in Pittsburgh who is struggling with writer’s block. Whilst doing this, he also manages to

get the chancellor pregnant. In the meantime, he and a college student, James Leer are trying to find a rare jacket once owned by Marilyn Monroe, and a college girl,

Hannah Green boarding with Grady has a bit of a crush on him.

The college reality it reminds us:

Rober Ebert says it best, “Wonder Boys” is the most accurate movie about campus life that I can remember. It

is accurate, not because it captures intellectual debate or campus politics, but because it knows two things: (1) Students come and go, but the faculty actually lives

there, and (2) many faculty members stay stuck in graduate-student mode for decades.”



8. With Honors



The plot:


Monty is a student, and when his computer crashes, he’s left with only a single paper copy of his thesis. Frightened of losing it, he

immediately rushes out to photocopy it, only to stumble and drop it down a grate. Searching the basement of the building, he discovers that it has been found by Simon,

a squatter. Simon makes a deal with Monty: for every day’s accomodation and food that Monty gives him, he will give a page of the thesis in return.

The college reality it reminds us:

A politically correct, vastly sentimental and ultimately insincere saga of the friendship between a kind

homeless man, played by Joe Pesci, and a guilt-ridden Harvard student. We all had it, right? Insincere rock solid relationships?



7. Slackers



The plot:

Dave, Sam and Jeff are about to graduate from Holden University with Honors in lying, cheating and scheming. The three roommates have

proudly scammed their way through the last four years of college and now, during the final exams, these big-men-on-campus are about to be busted by the most unlikely

dude in school.

The college reality it reminds us:

Full of great inside jokes and is bursting with awkwardness which is what college is partly spent on –

awkwardness.



6. National Lampoon’s Animal House



The plot:

Faber College has one frat house so disreputable it will take anyone. It has a second one full of white, anglo-saxon, rich young men

who are so sanctimonious no one can stand them except Dean Wormer. The dean enlists the help of the second frat to get the boys of Delta House off campus. This film

gives high-jinks and fooling around a bad name. P The dean’s plan comes into play just before the homecoming parade to end all parades for all time.

The college reality it reminds us:

The sheer level of manic energy is enought so assault us with the memory of the craziness of college life.
