The 15 best college movies of all time

College. Ah, the first taste of freedom. Whether it be through a beer bong, a keg stand, or via less intoxicating means, like… uhh… studying? The best college movies tap into that feeling, that glorious sweet spot where youth is still on your side and the promise of a bright future beckons. The college experience is fertile ground for screenwriters, who have for decades transformed this wild and wacky time into cinematic gold. 

As the best college movies show, being at university is the one time you can really let rip and indulge every whim. There’s no lasting repercussions, no consequences to your tomfoolery... well, except for the rest of your life, that is. That’s what makes filmmakers return to the campus time and time again. With that kind of hubris on your side, what better time to experience anything your little heart desires, right?
