What's the Best Movie about the University?
Posted by tom | Sep 28, 2009I've been thinking about Mike's question and I'm not sure if I have a best. So many variables, follow this link to read nominations. As for me, these are the first which come to mind: “The Visitor,” “Good Will Hunting,” “A Beautiful Mind,” “Animal House,” “The Big Chill,” “Dekalog 8: Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness” ... "Paper Chase" is also good. Even though "Wonder Boys" was shot at CMU, I'm still not so excited about it. AND I guess I have some films to add to the to review list. Anyone have other ones to add to the mix?


Tom, nice list of movies about the University. I remember watching The Paper Chase when I was in law school. They showed it on the big screen in a large lecture room with an overhead video projector. All of about 100 of us loved it and knew the cases they discussed. I've forgotten them now, btw.
