Five Hilarious College Movies

1. NATIONAL LAMPOON'S ANIMAL HOUSE

There are loads of great student movies but I think the one that still sets the standard is the 1978 classic Animal House. It's got a great script and an awesome cast. The plot can be best be summarised by saying that it is about a misfit group of fraternity members who challenge the dean of Faber College. There are some absolutely hilarious scenes in this movie. This film inspired scenes in just about every other movie on this list,and is also a crucial component in the 6-degrees from Kevin Bacon phenomenon.

2. OLD SCHOOL

Will Ferrell is absolutely on top of his game in this awesome movie. His rendition of Neil Diamond's “Dust in the Wind” is absolutely hilarious, and “We're going streaking!” is easily one of the most quotable lines in move history. A strong case could be made for Old School being the best college movie of all time, but Animal House is still number 1 for me.

3.FANDANGO

Five college buddies from the University of Texas circa 1971 embark on a final road trip odyssey across the Mexican border before facing up to uncertain futures, in Vietnam and otherwise. It's got a strong cast that includes Kevin Costner and Judd Nelson.

4. BACK TO SCHOOL

This 1986 Rodney Dangerfield classic is a perfectly campy movie. Like Dangerfield, Back to School doesn't take itself too seriously, and is a winner because of it. Not only does it feature an up-and-coming Robert Downey Jr. as the 80s emo roommate, but the “Triple Lindy” dive is one of the most absurd and hilarious climaxes to any movie, ever. Watch this and don't laugh, I dare you.

5. VAN WILDER

Van Wilder taught us that you can solve all of your problems by partying; which is a valuable lesson for today's youth. This movie introduced the world to Kal Penn, and features Ryan Reynolds at his irreverent best.Say what you will about RR, but the man has a niche, and he found it in this classic movie.
