  1. 1The Inbetweeners Movie (2011)The Inbetweeners Movie (2011) 6.7/10 on IMDbReleased 19 Aug 2011The closest thing on screen to the exact feeling this list is for. Will, Simon, Jay and Neil finish sixth form, the British equivalent of senior year, and head straight for a guys' vacation in Crete, and the film understands that the fantasy of the post-exam trip is always better than the bad…0
  2. 2Animal House (1978)Animal House (1978) 7.4/10 on IMDbReleased 28 Jul 1978The campus comedy everything else on this list borrows from. The Delta House fraternity at fictional Faber College would rather throw toga parties and pull pranks than pass anything, and John Belushi's Bluto is the patron saint of anyone who has just closed their last textbook. Some of the 1970s…0
  3. 3Everybody Wants Some!! (2016)Everybody Wants Some!! (2016) 6.9/10 on IMDbReleased 30 Mar 2016Richard Linklater's hangout comedy is pure freedom: a Texas college baseball team in 1980 with a few days to kill before classes start, and nothing to do but drink, flirt and drift from a disco to a country bar to a punk show. There is barely a plot, and that is the point. It catches the giddy,…0
  4. 422 Jump Street (2014)22 Jump Street (2014) 7.0/10 on IMDbReleased 5 Jun 2014Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum go undercover at college, and the film knows exactly how silly that is. Jenko falls in with the football team, Schmidt drifts into the art crowd, and their "partnership" plays like a breakup comedy with car chases. The fun is how openly it mocks its own sequel status…0
  5. 5Neighbors (2014)Neighbors (2014) 6.3/10 on IMDbReleased 8 May 2014Released in the UK as Bad Neighbours. Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne play new parents who still miss their party years, and Zac Efron is the gleaming, vindictive frat president who moves in next door. The comedy comes from a war of pranks where neither side is really the grown-up. It is a good pick for…0
  6. 6Pitch Perfect (2012)Pitch Perfect (2012) 7.1/10 on IMDbReleased 28 Sept 2012The singalong pick for a group that would rather perform than just watch. Anna Kendrick's Beca is a reluctant freshman pulled into a college a cappella group, and the film is at its best in the riff-off, an empty-pool battle where the groups trade songs on the fly. Rebel Wilson's Fat Amy steals…0
  7. 7Mamma Mia! (2008)Mamma Mia! (2008) 6.5/10 on IMDbReleased 3 Jul 2008A Greek island, a wall-to-wall ABBA soundtrack and a 20-year-old bride who has secretly invited all three of her possible fathers to the wedding. It is the sunniest vacation film on this list, and the one most likely to get the whole room on its feet by "Dancing Queen." Nobody watches it for the…0
  8. 8Wayne's World (1992)Wayne's World (1992) 7.0/10 on IMDbReleased 14 Feb 1992Two amiably aimless friends broadcasting a public-access show from a basement in Aurora, Illinois, with no ambition beyond rock, cars and the next joke. Wayne and Garth started as a Saturday Night Live sketch, and the film keeps that loose, quotable silliness for a full feature. The reason it…0
  9. 9Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) 7.5/10 on IMDbReleased 12 Aug 2010Edgar Wright turns a slacker bassist's love life into a video game: to date Ramona Flowers, Scott has to defeat her seven evil exes in fights that end with on-screen scores and a shower of coins. It is twentysomething aimlessness played at maximum volume, with garage-rock gigs, cramped shared…0
  10. 10The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) 7.4/10 on IMDbReleased 14 Aug 1975Less a film to watch than one to take part in. Since its midnight screenings began in New York in 1976, fans have turned up in costume, shouted lines back at the screen and danced the "Time Warp" in the aisles, and it is still running in theaters as the longest theatrical release in film…0
