According to IMDb, there are more than 1,000 films that can be classified within the genre of “college” or “university,” and we’ve narrowed down the list to the 20 greatest. So, what constitutes a “college” or “university” movie? Well, the main character(s) must be in college or on a college campus for the majority of the film – so no post-high school, pre-college kids like those in American Pie, Superbad, Say Anything, American Graffiti and the like. Though we do have a film that has guys OUT of college, they’re trying to start a fraternity, which is SO college. Sorry, The Graduate, but… you graduated. Likewise, Wonder Boys and A Beautiful Mind, though both excellent movies in their own right, didn’t make the cut. No film schools, no law schools, no medical schools. We’re talkin’ straight undergrad, son. Read on to see who made the cut then vote for the film you think should be the greatest below!
