Movies You Need To Watch During College

Are you thinking of just spending the entire weekend at home? Why don’t you check out the list of movies that we highly recommend for college students? We bet that you are going to enjoy these with your friends. Just don’t forget to prepare some popcorn and drinks for the complete experience.  

Good Will Hunting  

First on our list is Good Will Hunting. This is an American drama film written by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. This follows a story about a janitor who is a genius. He shocked some of the students and the professor when he was able to solve a complex math problem anonymously. The professor then provided an even harder problem which Will tries to solve once again. The story also gives a glimpse of the main character’s dark past.  

Legally Blonde  

Legally Blonde is a cute movie about Elle Woods. She’s not your typical Harvard student, and she used to doubt herself. But once she got back her lost confidence, she was able to nail a case. It’s a light movie filled with humor and a lot of pink stuff! We are sure you would smile after watching the movie. 

The House Bunny 

Here’s another cute movie that could help you relax for the weekend. The House Bunny stars Anna Faris, a former Playboy Bunny who becomes a house mother of a university sorority. This university sorority is not famous, and most people ridicule its members.   

Of course, you can’t expect intellectual discussions. But hey, it’s the break you need from all the challenging tests and reports from your instructors.  

Pitch Perfect  

If you love a movie that has great songs, then Pitch Perfect could be the best one for you. It’s about a group of girls wanting to prove that they deserve a spot on the stage, and that their voices should be literally heard. We bet that you would be laughing all the time while watching. And yes, you could be singing the songs for days.  

Monsters University  

If you wish to unleash the child within, why don’t you watch Monsters University? If you have watched Monsters, Inc., this movie is its prequel. It revolves around the story of Mike and Sulley during the time that they were in college. From the movie, you would see typical characters from colleges and universities such as jocks and nerds, which makes it even more interesting.  

Perks Of Being A Wallflower   

This is a coming-of-age drama based on a novel bearing the same title. The story revolves around Charlie who is suffering from clinical depression. This is not a feel-good-movie, but it tackles issues that most of us should be aware of. Thus, we have included this in our list.  

The Social Network  

Who doesn’t want to watch how Facebook became what it is right now? Many college students are now inspired to create their own startups even at their cramped dormitories, and we totally understand why. If Mark Zuckerberg and his friends can do it, why can’t we, right? But of course, Facebook isn’t what it is today without struggles (and a bit of controversy). And that’s what you are about to see from this movie.  

Dead Poets Society  

Another heavy-on-the-heart movie that you should watch is Dead Poets Society. It’s about a group of students in a boarding school where their English teacher inspires them through poetry. You would certainly fall in love with the plot, the cinematography, and the entire scoring of the movie. It’s moving, and a wakeup call for parents to listen further to what their kids are passionate about.  

Old School  

If you want another comedy movie, then Old School is a great one that should be included in your lineup. It talks about two former college students who established a fraternity near their school. It’s their way of reliving their college life, which of course, is just plain hilarious. Expect to see some crazy college politics and of course, the party culture.  

Accepted  

This is tagged as one of the funniest college movies of all time. The story is about a few high school students who got rejected from the schools they have applied for. You can have a glimpse of what on-campus living looks like, and even an overview of alternative colleges.  

So, are you ready to be a couch potato this weekend? Take a pick right now.
