Fincher’s meticulous direction vividly brings this narrative to life. Meanwhile, Jesse Eisenberg delivers a standout performance as Zuckerberg, making a memorable impact with his complex portrayal.

What truly sets this compelling film apart is its portrayal of trailblazers who revolutionized an entire generation, offering viewers a dramatic look at the birth of a new era.

Based on Ben Mezrich’s book, The Accidental Billionaires, The Social Network captured Academy Awards for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score, and Best Film Editing.

The story follows a gifted young drummer whose journey is forever changed when he encounters a demanding, uncompromising instructor determined to unlock his fullest potential—no matter the cost.

This film stands out as one of the most authentic portrayals of the emotional and physical challenges involved in pursuing greatness, especially when one's aspirations conflict with the need to earn a mentor’s approval.

"3 Idiots" is a beloved Indian classic directed by Rajkumar Hirani, blending comedy and drama in a compelling coming-of-age story. The film inspires viewers to pursue excellence, emphasizing that true success follows those who focus on becoming their best selves.

The narrative centers on Farhan and Raju, two college friends whose lives are transformed by Rancho, a peer with a unique and refreshing perspective on education and life. Years after graduation, a seemingly lighthearted bet leads them on a journey in search of their enigmatic friend, prompting them to question if he ever truly existed.

The movie unfolds through two parallel timelines—one set in the present and another a decade in the past. It satirizes the intense social pressures of India's education system while encouraging viewers to embrace learning and self-improvement. "3 Idiots" stands as both a critique and an inspiration for anyone striving to find purpose and capability amidst academic challenges.

Directed by Gus Van Sant, "Good Will Hunting" tells the compelling story of Will Hunting, a janitor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who is also a self-taught genius. Though he spends most of his free time drinking with his close friends, Will's hidden brilliance soon comes to light.

With the guidance of a compassionate psychologist, Will embarks on a transformative journey to discover his true identity and purpose while working on campus. Through heartfelt conversations with his therapist, he learns to build meaningful relationships and connections.

Skillfully written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, "Good Will Hunting" explores themes such as professor-student dynamics, the challenges of college dating, and the quest for self-understanding in student life.

The film’s emotional depth is further enhanced by Robin Williams, whose outstanding performance as the empathetic psychologist stands out as an unforgettable highlight.

"Animal House," released in 1978, set the gold standard for college frat movies and inspired countless imitators in its wake. Despite many attempts, few films since have managed to capture the same rebellious spirit and lasting appeal that "Animal House" embodies.

What makes "Animal House" truly stand out is its wild, unapologetic portrayal of Greek life and the irreverent tone of the National Lampoon magazine at its peak. Set in 1962, the story centers on Dean Vernon Wormer's desperate mission to expel the notorious Delta Tau Chi fraternity from campus.

But the fraternity brothers are determined to turn the tables with their own outrageous antics. Featuring a memorable cast led by John Belushi, Karen Allen, and Kevin Bacon, this John Landis film remains a timeless classic and is easily one of the best entries in the National Lampoon film series.

Heralded as the "spiritual sequel" to Richard Linklater's iconic Dazed and Confused, Everybody Wants Some!! shifts the setting from the 1970s high school scene to the vibrant college life of the 1980s. Centered in Texas, the film follows freshman Jake Bradford as he moves into the lively communal house of his college baseball team.

Within these walls, Jake and his hilarious teammates navigate the unpredictable experiences of growing up away from home. Supported by an outstanding ensemble cast, the film brilliantly captures the exhilaration, uncertainty, and freedom that define youth and early adulthood.

Directed by James Ivory, this poignant drama explores the emotional journey of two English school friends who fall in love while attending Cambridge. Faced with societal pressure, Clive ultimately sacrifices his relationship with Maurice to marry and secure his social standing.

The story takes a turn when Maurice visits Clive and his wife, where he begins to discover new dimensions of love through his connection with Alec, the gamekeeper. This relationship offers Maurice a renewed perspective on romance and personal fulfillment.

The film captivates with its authentic Edwardian setting and remarkably genuine performances. Its attention to period detail immerses viewers in early 20th-century England and brings historical context vividly to life.

Adapted for the screen with sensitivity, "Maurice" thoughtfully addresses the era's deeply ingrained class divisions and societal barriers. Its engaging narrative highlights the enduring search for acceptance and happiness.

Additionally, fans of Hugh Grant will appreciate seeing him in one of his earliest and most sincere roles—capturing a nuanced performance before his rise to stardom.

"Dear White People" (2014), directed by Justin Simien, delivers a sharp and insightful satire that explores campus tensions between Black and white students. The film, which inspired the popular Netflix series, brings these conflicts to the forefront, creating an engaging and thought-provoking narrative.

Set at a predominantly white university, tensions escalate when an outspoken Black student’s radio show incites controversy, leading to an offensive blackface party thrown by white students. This dark comedy-drama skillfully addresses urgent themes such as racism, privilege, and the challenges of navigating white spaces as a Black student.

Premiering in the U.S. Dramatic Competition at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, "Dear White People" won acclaim for its bold storytelling and cultural relevance.

Adapted from Michael Chabon's acclaimed novel, "Wonder Boys" is a sharp comedy-drama directed by Curtis Hanson that follows a college professor struggling with crippling writer's block as he attempts to finish his much-anticipated novel.

Amidst his literary frustrations, the professor contends with the fallout of his divorce, a secret affair with the chancellor's wife, and the unpredictable antics of an enigmatic, suicide-obsessed student.

The darkly quirky chemistry between the professor and his student immerses viewers in the idiosyncrasies of academic life, echoing the complex mentorships that often inspire us to consider further studies.

Unlike many college-set films, "Wonder Boys" keeps audiences guessing right up to its decisively satisfying ending, delivering an unexpected and memorable conclusion.

Directed by Tom Vaughan, "Starter for 10" is a delightful coming-of-age film starring James McAvoy as a bright college freshman determined to join his university's quiz team and compete on the renowned TV show, University Challenge.

As he pursues academic glory, he finds himself caught between two women, leading to a flurry of emotional complications. The film's witty British humor shines through, giving it a unique and memorable charm.

With an outstanding cast including Alice Eve, Rebecca Hall, Charles Dance, Lindsay Duncan, and Benedict Cumberbatch alongside McAvoy, "Starter for 10" delivers nonstop entertainment. There isn't a dull moment in this lively and engaging comedy.

Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, 22 Jump Street is a sharp, satirical buddy cop comedy that reunites Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as undercover police officers Schmidt and Jenko. This time, the duo goes undercover at a college to investigate the distribution of a new recreational drug called WHYPHY.

As their mission unfolds, their friendship faces challenges—especially when Schmidt grows close to a fellow student named Maya. The film shines thanks to the irresistible bromantic chemistry between its leads, delivering good-natured laughs and clever jokes throughout.

Some would say 22 Jump Street not only lives up to the original but even manages to surpass it, offering a fresh and hilarious take on the college comedy genre.

If you’re seeking inspiration during your college years, Rudy is an ideal film to watch. The story follows Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger and his relentless pursuit of playing football for the University of Notre Dame, despite overwhelming obstacles and repeated discouragement.

Notably, it was the first movie allowed to be filmed on the Notre Dame campus since Knute Rockne, All American in 1940. Rudy showcases the resilience of its titular character, who constantly faces pressure to abandon his dreams.

Rudy’s unwavering determination and eventual triumph make this film a powerful tale about never giving up. Ultimately, it motivates viewers to follow their hearts and believe in the power of perseverance.

Adapting to college life as a freshman is never easy, and no one understands this better than Tracy Fishko. Lonely and feeling out of place, the inexperienced Tracy decides to move in with her soon-to-be stepsister, who is known for her wild reputation.

As Tracy quickly discovers, her once predictable life takes a dramatic turn. Mistress America brilliantly highlights the creative synergy between Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig, while reminding audiences that Gerwig's talents extend beyond filmmaking—she truly shines as an actress, too.

Directed by Alan Metter, Back to School is a lighthearted comedy featuring a self-made millionaire who enrolls in college to support his struggling son. The film excels with its energetic pace and sharp comedic timing, showcasing Rodney Dangerfield's impressive talents as a leading comic actor.

Alongside Dangerfield, Robert Downey Jr. delivers a hilarious performance as the quirky best friend, adding even more charm and wit to this classic campus comedy.

Inspired by a 1997 American Legacy article by Tony Scherman, "The Great Debaters" is a biographical drama directed by and starring the acclaimed Denzel Washington. The film tells the remarkable true story of Wiley College's debate team.

We follow Professor Melvin B. Tolson, who inspires his students to create the college's first debate team. Through unwavering determination and perseverance, they make history by defeating Harvard at the national championship.

This heartfelt and uplifting film offers Denzel Washington a dynamic role, celebrating the profound impact of mentorship and resilience in the face of adversity.

Directed by James Bridges, The Paper Chase follows a first-year Harvard Law student as he navigates the pressures of academia, only to discover that his girlfriend is the daughter of his most demanding professor. This comedy-drama, adapted from John Jay Osborn Jr.'s novel, earned John Houseman an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

Despite facing some criticism for being a bit clichéd and occasionally silly, the film's screenplay balances humor and intelligence, delivering memorable moments that resonate with its audience.

College life isn't just about textbooks and exams; it's also about discovering new passions through extracurricular activities. Pitch Perfect captures the spirit of campus life by pulling viewers into the world of college music groups, where fun, friendship, and music blend seamlessly.

Directed by Jason Moore, this acclaimed musical comedy follows Beca, a college freshman who hesitantly joins an all-female a cappella group. With her fresh perspective, she revitalizes the group's style and sound, making them stand out on campus.

The story heats up as Beca and her group face off against a rival male a cappella team in a high-stakes competition. While the plot follows some familiar beats, the film’s charming performances and energetic musical numbers make Pitch Perfect a delightful and memorable watch.

Directed by Martha Coolidge, Real Genius presents an entertaining and eccentric sci-fi perspective on college life, seamlessly blending humor with insightful observations about group projects and campus living. The story centers on a gifted yet socially awkward teenager who finds himself overwhelmed by the carefree environment of a prestigious engineering school.

The stakes rise when their professor tries to weaponize the team's laser invention, prompting the protagonist and his quirky roommate to devise a plan to sabotage the scheme. Val Kilmer's memorable performance as the charismatic young genius adds infectious energy to this college classic, making it a film that stands the test of time.

Pixar truly shines with 'Monsters University,' confidently delivering a standout college movie that resonates with audiences of all ages—even those with no firsthand college experience. The film centers on two lovable monsters, Mike and Sulley, as they enroll at Monsters University with ambitions to become the world's top scarers.

Initially, Mike and Sulley clash, but their rivalry transforms into an enduring friendship over time. Directed by Dan Scanlon, this computer-animated comedy insightfully captures the challenges of forging and maintaining friendships in college—reminding us that these hurdles are universal, whether you’re a monster or not.

It's probably a surprise to see the strong sequel to 1996's "Scream" featured among the greatest college movies—but rest assured, it earns its place here for good reason.

Wes Craven's chilling slasher follows Sidney as she navigates her college years, only to once again become the target of a relentless, psychotic killer. The murder spree continues unabated, even as the action shifts to a collegiate setting.

With our list representing overachievers, rebels, and nerds alike, it's only fitting to include a masked villain who is obsessed with horror trivia. Horror on campus, after all, is still part of the college experience in "Scream 2."

Directed by John Krokidas in his feature film directorial debut, Kill Your Darlings is set in 1944. It follows a young Allen Ginsberg who has a rival for the affections of his charismatic classmate Lucien Carr.

However, when the rival is shockingly found dead, Carr, William Burroughs, and Jack Kerouac are arrested for the allegedly planned murder. The screenplay, which strives to cast a vivid spotlight on the college days of some of the earliest members of the Beat Generation, thrives on the undeniable chemistry between Daniel Radcliffe and Dane DeHaan.

Kill Your Darlings had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival and was shown at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2013.

Director Drake Doremus aims to tell the story of a British college who student falls in love with an American student but is later separated from him when she's banned from the United States after overstaying her visa.

Not a lot of people are familiar with the fact that Doremus based the storyline of the film partly on his own long-distance relationship. Credited with allowing its characters to express beyond dialogues, Like Crazy premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and ended up receiving the Grand Jury Prize there.

The infectious love story rides on the adroit performances and chemistry of Anton Yelchin and Felicity Jones.

Fred Dekker has to be lauded for being audacious enough to pack every single B-movie trope into a college flick in his very first project as a filmmaker. He blends the genres of science-fiction, horror, and college comedy to tell us what happens after an alien experiment containing slug-like organisms crashes Earth and goes on to infect a fraternity member.

Expectedly, mayhem ensues when a couple of college boys discover the cryogenically frozen corpse. Enjoyable in a ramshackle sort of way, Night of the Creeps is one of the most unique features to make it to our list.

It goes on to pay a homage of sorts to every subgenre in its own wicked way.

Written and directed by Whit Stillman and starring Greta Gerwig, Adam Brody, and Lio Tipton in crucial roles, Damsels in Distress tracks the journey of a trio of beautiful girls, who endeavor to bring about a change in their male-dominated college campus.

We also catch them doing their best to rescue their peers from living depressing and substandard life while they are around. Screened at the 68th Venice International Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival, this whimsical campus comedy thrives on Gerwig's performance which is both effective and complicated in equal measure.

Christopher Landon's Happy Death Day strives to showcase the college experience through its horror-driven storyline. The motion picture tells the story of college student Theresa Gelbman, who continues to relive the day when she was killed to discover the identity of her murderer.

It is up to her to figure out who the killer is if she truly wishes to escape the dreadful time loop. Happy Death Day was a critically successful venture that spawned a sequel.

The unbelievably talented Reese Witherspoon had headlined a few big features before the college-set Legally Blonde hit the screens, but it was here where she made the cinematic universe fall madly in love with her.

The plot follows Elle, whose boyfriend dumps her for a smarter girl as he plans to become a politician and join Harward law school. However, to teach him a lesson, she gets enrolled in the same institution.

This cool, girl-power movie about college life has managed to resonate with many the world over all thanks to Witherspoon's funny and charming character play. Not only does Legally Blonde go on to underscore that looks and gender are not important if one wishes to be successful in life but it also sheds light on various aspects of law school and its backbreaking admission process.

Written by, directed by, and starring Josh Radnor in the lead, Liberal Arts is a criminally underrated college-set drama that tells the story of a 35-year-old admission officer, Jesse. When Jesse heads back to his college for a professor's retirement party, he gets unexpectedly attracted to a college student.

Sincerely helmed for the screen and with its heart in the right place, Liberal Arts is a warm motion picture that offers a nice take on nostalgic romanticism. It is full of sweetness, charm, and, believe it or not, wisdom.

Todd Phillips's classic comedy follows a lawyer and his two friends who decide to relive their most treasured days by setting up a fraternity house next to their former college campus.

Packed with a ton of humorous moments from beginning to end, Old School banks on the performances of seasoned comedic actors such as Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrell, and Luke Wilson to make a solid impression.

More importantly, the film goes on to prove that Phillips is, indeed, a master of comedy. That said, Ferrell particularly shines here as the beer-guzzling Frank The Tank.

This Jeff Kanew directorial venture, which is a classic tale of good versus evil, aims to bring to light the two extremes of the student-life spectrum that often marks life in college.

The plot follows two college outcasts as they set up their own fraternity for similarly un-hip and "uncool" students to give the obnoxious campus sporting jocks a run for their money.

While the movie showcases how the nerds are smart enough to satisfy their wish of getting their revenge, it also goes on to highlight the special friendships in college that last a lifetime; even if they happened to have been formed due to proximity in the first place.

While not college-set in the true sense of the word, Road Trips brings to us a story of four college buddies who embark on a road journey to retrieve an illicit tape mistakenly mailed to a female friend.

Needless to mention, the friends have no option but to race against time to retrieve it. This incredibly funny motion picture will connect with most college friends who may have undertaken a road trip at some point during their time in college.

Similar to American Pie in style, this Todd Phillips directorial venture has the right ingredients to resonate with its target audience.

The third motion picture to be toplined by Bollywood icon Aamir Khan to make it to our compilation, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar is a classic coming-of-age sports drama that has managed to stand the test of time.

Directed by Mansoor Khan, the story tracks the journey of a rich and self-indulgent brat and a poor chap, who go to extreme lengths to woo a lovely girl. We catch their exciting and dramatic rivalry culminating in the most prestigious college event - the marathon cycle race.

A box office success, this motion picture was praised for the performances of Aamir Khan, Ayesha Jhulka, and Pooja Bedi.

A rather underseen motion picture, this is partially based on director Spike Lee's experiences as a Morehouse student at the Atlanta University Center during the 1970s. The story acquaints us with a not-so-popular young man who wants to pledge to a popular fraternity at his historically black college.

While it is essentially a college-set movie, it does use its plot structure to touch upon sub-themes of colorism, elitism, classism, political activism, hazing, groupthink, female self-esteem, social mobility, and hair texture bias within the highly misunderstood African-American community.

This critically and commercially successful Bollywood dramedy might just be the most unique and thought-provoking mainstream feature to make it to our story. The story follows Sue, who handpicks a few students of Delhi University to portray various Indian freedom fighters in her docudrama about India's revolution against British rule in the 1920s.

However, as the filming progresses, the unthinkable happens and the youngsters steadily turn into modern-day freedom fighters who want the best for their nation. Helmed diligently by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Rang De Basanti may not strictly be a college film, but it certainly takes a leap to demonstrate how issues of social and political significance can turn students into rebels for a cause.

In Noam Murro's Smart People, we find Lawrence, a widowed college professor, and intellectual giant, falling in love with his former student, which leads to bizarre consequences for both him and the people around him.

The film, several of whose sequences were filmed at Carnegie Mellon University and the Pittsburgh International Airport, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2008. Even though this comedy-drama thrives on the performances of its cast, it is too thinly plotted to fully resonate with most people.

Written and directed by John Singleton and starring an ensemble cast, Higher Learning tells the story of three freshmen from diverse backgrounds who find themselves at the receiving end of racism while learning on a university campus.

Even after all these years, the themes that this motion picture constitutes continue to be of significance. Through the experiences of its protagonists, this dark, heavy drama aims to ask us if diversity can find its niche in places that are marred by blind hatred and stereotypes.

Written and directed by Roger Avary and based on Bret Easton Ellis' novel of the same name, The Rules of Attraction tracks the journey of the wayward and privileged students of Camden College as they serve as a backdrop for an unusual love triangle between a drug dealer, a virgin, and a bisexual classmate.

On the surface, this motion picture comes across as another tiresome movie about unsympathetic college kids engaging in self-destructive behaviors while making the most of their student life. However, we do believe that it is an underrated drama that may have opened to mixed reviews because it was slightly ahead of its time.

Pre-Monster's Ball Halle Bery stars in this poignant drama, which follows the lives of several college athletes from different backgrounds, who try their best to cope with the pressures of playing football at a major university.

While the motion picture showcases each of the athletes dealing with the pressure differently, it also goes on to reflect upon critical issues such as parental neglect, alcoholism, and steroid abuse.

Helmed by David S. Ward and also featuring James Caan in a significant role, The Program sure is clichéd but it has its moments that do stand out.

In Jake Kasdan's Orange County, we find a determined student named Shaun's application to Stanford University getting rejected as his academic transcript is mixed up with that of another student.

However, in a bid to improve his chances of getting accepted, he decides to use any means necessary; even if it means taking help from his stoner brother. We agree that the summary of this motion picture sounds a tad serious.

However, trust us when we assert that it ends up providing an experience that can only be relished when one sits through it. While there is a paucity of belly laughs in the screenplay, it's still an above-average college-set comedy.

Helmed for the screen by Robert Luketic, 21 has been inspired by the story of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Blackjack Team as told in Bringing Down the House, the best-selling book by Ben Mezrich that was published in 2003.

The plot tracks the exciting journey of Micky, a math professor, who recruits five brilliant students intending to use their skills to win millions of dollars at blackjack in Las Vegas.

The fascinating feature film, which thrives on its suspenseful and solid plot line, is peppered with doses of occasional humor as well. Also, the climax ensures that the screenplay culminates on a good note.

In this Steve Pink directorial venture, we find Bartleby, an idler, getting rejected by all the colleges he applies to, much to the dismay of his overly expectant parents. So, he decides to take matters into his own hands and, along with his friends, goes on to create an institution for hundreds of nincompoops.

This Justin Long vehicle may be criticized for its preposterous premise, but that is also why it managed to appeal to its targeted audience. Watching Bartleby start a fake college near his house and accept as many rejects and misfits as he can is as clumsy as it is fun.

Also, yes, the scheme does eventually blows up in his face.

Helmed by Mike Newell and starring Julia Roberts, Kirsten Dunst, Julia Stiles, and Maggie Gyllenhaal in pivotal roles, Mona Lisa Smile follows the journey of a non-conformist teacher, who strives to change the rules of an age-old game with her teaching and thought process.

While teaching at an all-women's private school in the 1950s, she goes on to encourage her students to pursue their dreams and question the orthodox roles that women are expected to play in society.

Even though this motion picture risks coming across as predictable, it espouses the value of breaking barriers.

Joe Nussbaum's Sydney White introduces us to its eager titular character, who is banished from the most popular sorority. Soon after, we catch her being taken in by seven socially challenged guys.

So, with the help of her new best pals, she decides to take on the campus queen in a fierce popularity showdown. Starring Amanda Bynes, Sara Paxton, and Matt Long in pivotal roles, this motion picture may not be the best modern-day screen version of the classic "Snow White" tale, but it certainly has quite a few delightful moments to offer to young ladies who might be looking forward to watching a decent "teen girl" movie.

Sydney White's passion to entertain her viewers and do the right thing should be a reason good enough for most young girls to sit through this trademark chick flick.

Helmed by Joel Schumacher, this coming-of-age drama traces the journey of seven close but self-centered friends in Georgetown. Just out of college, they seem to be struggling to deal with the transition from adolescence to adulthood.

Needless to say, it takes them little time to figure out that life is not as easy as they expected. However, despite facing the struggles of everyday life, they continue to have each other's back; thus, making the film's depiction of friendship something to watch out for.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to claim that this movie serves as a cultural document of sorts to be looked back on today.

Helmed for the screen by Nitesh Tiwari, this critically and commercially successful coming-of-age comedy-drama introduces us to a middle-aged man, Anirudh, who is compelled to take a trip down memory lane when a tragic incident ends up shocking him and his wife.

Not only do we catch him reminiscing his college days along with his friends but we also get to learn a ton of important things about love and life through their hilarious and heartwarming journey.

Based on the director's experiences as a student of the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, Chhichhore comprises a theme of academic success that both youngsters and parents can easily comprehend and relate to.

Helmed for the screen by Jamie Blanks, the first installment in the Urban Legend series of movies brings together actors such as Jared Leto, Alicia Witt, Rebecca Gayheart, Tara Reid, and Michael Rosenbaum.

The story follows Natalie; a girl who deciphers that the murders taking place in and around her university might just be inspired by various urban legends. This slasher flick, which was criticized for being a blatant rip-off of the cult classic Scream, thrives on its edgy sense of humor and tricky plot to appeal primarily to teenagers.

Walt Becker's National Lampoon's Van Wilder tells the story of its titular character, who happens to be the most popular guy on his collegiate campus. Often seen spending a major part of his time organizing fundraisers, he makes no effort whatsoever to graduate.

In due time, a competent journalist gets him to admit his fear of graduation. The motion picture stars Ryan Reynolds as the titular character along with actors such as Tara Reid, Kal Penn, and Tim Matheson in supporting roles.

Since the jokes in this one are of a very low level, we suggest you think less and prepare yourself to consume 90 minutes of brainless entertainment.

Based on popular Indian author Chetan Bhagat's novel of the same name, this Abhishek Varman-helmed romantic comedy-drama tracks the journey of Krish and Ananya, who chance upon each other at the IIM-Ahmedabad College and end up falling head over heels in love.

However, the circumstances surrounding the two get far more complicated and sensitive after the program comes to an end and they decide to get married. 2 States uses its fair share of comedy and drama to shed ample light on the culture of two different states in India; all while thriving on the performances of its main leads as well as its diligent supporting cast.

In this rather distinct black comedy drama that has been helmed by Alan Cohn, we catch two college roommates venturing out to identify a student, who is most likely to commit suicide.

Do you know why? Because it might just help them pass the semester. For those who are less aware, it's an urban legend as old as the Ivy League that the roommates of a student - who may have given up on his life - are granted straight A's.

Shot at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, the theatrical release of the film was in sync with the start of the new college school year in late August 1998.

Toplined by Brendan Fraser, Joe Pesci, and Moira Kelly, this Alek Keshishian directorial venture introduces us to Monty; an honors student at Harvard who finds that his thesis paper is being held hostage by a homeless man, Simon.

While the screenplay of this motion picture does certainly come off as clichéd as a whole, it does go on to tell you certain crucial things about life; especially how important it sometimes is to step back and acknowledge that we're only human after all.

Extra marks to Pesci and Fraser for their believable performances.

Munna Bhai M. B. B. S. tracks the journey of its titular character who sets out to fulfill his father's dream of becoming a doctor. With the help of fellow goons and his closest pal Circuit, he cheats his way into a reputed medical college in the city and, eventually, goes on to drive its Dean crazy.

A recipient of several awards, this critically and commercially successful motion picture is at heart a quintessential Bollywood entertainer. Munna Bhai M. B. B. S. helped its lead star Sanjay Dutt bounce back as an actor after his public image had taken a beating following a ton of terrible controversies.

Also, it went on to give a ton of ideas about how to survive college, especially if you are a mediocre student. However, we sure would like to point out that following the footsteps of the notorious Munna may certainly not prove to be beneficial to you in the real world.
