Top Ten Best College Movies - Comedy and Drama

Including Famous Quotations from Each Top Ten College Movie

1 - Old School - 2003 - Starring Will Ferrell, Luke Wilson and Vince Vaughn

I cannot refrain from ranking Old School the No. 1 college movie simply based on when I grew up, how frequently I've seen the movie and how often lines from the movie have played a part in my life. On any given day, I can still hear someone say, "You're my boy, Blue!" or "Once it hits your lips, it's so good." Additionally, it's been more than several times that I've heard "Let's break it in, meet the neighbors," while someone gave me a little tap on the ass with a pool cue.

Of course, there's also the famous Will Ferrell quote: "Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time." And then, there's the rendition of "Dust in the Wind," which provoked numerous instances of requesting the song while out listening to live music from musicians who accepted requests. Simply put, the movie is funny and highly quotable. Not to take anything away from the number two college movie of all time, that I've seen.

2 - Animal House - 1978 - Starring John Belushi, Tim Matheson and John Vernon

Animal House is a classic featuring classic characters and classic lines. John Belushi as John "Bluto" Blutarsky is a classic character with sayings that will forever resonate in the annals of college movie history, such as "They took the bar! The whole f--king bar!" Also, there's nothing like a toga party or, for that matter, "double secret probation."

3 - Good Will Hunting - 1997 - Starring Matt Damon, Robin Williams, Ben Affleck and Minnie Driver

I'm not sure I consider Good Will Hunting a pure college movie, but at one point in my life it was one of my favorite movies, regardless of genre or category. Matt Damon as Will Hunting has some good lines, but the most compelling aspect of this Academy Award (Oscar) winning movie is the story and the relationships between the main characters. So, "How do you like them apples?"

4 - Scent of a Woman - 1992 - Starring Al Pacino and Chris O'Donnell
