3. PCU (1994)

Director: Hart Bochner
Starring: Jeremy Piven, Chris Young, Megan Ward, Jon Favreau and David Spade

Syllabus
Long before he wowed us as Entourage's sharp-tongued agent Ari Gold, Jeremy Piven was stellar as James "Droz" Andrews, the wizened leader of his screwball fraternity. In the midst of unbearable '90s-neo-hippie political correctness run amok, he helps his fellow classmates find themselves and their inner party animal.

Classic Quotes
"He's finishing his senior thesis. Pigman is trying to prove the Caine-Hackman Theory. No matter what time it is, 24 hours a day, you can find a Michael Caine or Gene Hackman movie playing on TV."

"Sanskrit. You're majoring in a 5,000-year-old dead language? Latin, best I can do. Next!"


2. Horse Feathers (1932)

Director: Norman Z. McLeod
Starring: The Marx Brothers, Thelma Todd, David Landau

Syllabus
Professor Quincy F. Wagstaff (Groucho Marx) has just been named President of Huxley College, and he he's got a pretty unique vision for the school—mainly mocking the faculty and recruiting a pair of ringers so Huxley's football team can trounce rival college, Darwin. When Darwin beats him to the punch, Groucho hires Chico and Harpo to kidnap the would-be star players. As usual, the plot is just a vehicle for Groucho and co.'s unequivocally dry and witty banter.

Classic Quotes
"I married your mother because I wanted children. Imagine my disappointment when you arrived."

"I say to you gentleman that this college is a failure. The Trouble is we're neglecting football for education."
