1973's The Paper Chase is one of the few movies that deals with the substance of academia instead of everything around it. It's kind of dated now, but it captures the professor-classroom relationship pretty well. It was the second film I thought of for a college movie after With Honors, which isn't good, but was trying very hard to be about college. I'd also throw out Real Genius for a college movie, as it has a few moments that ring true. The first high school movie I thought of was Lucas. Xealot posted:I came of age amidst a huge glut of 90's teen dramedies styled after John Hughes. So, less Sixteen Candles and more Can't Hardly Wait, 10 Things I Hate About You, She's All That, American Pie. They were no less self-important or melodramatic than Hughes, but perhaps more cynical or jaded. Definitely more vulgar. I hope you've seen Not Another Teen Movie, which unfortunately gets mistaken for a Friedberg and Seltzer movie. It parodies those 90's-era high school films fantastically well.
