Welcome to Thursday Movie Picks, a weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves where each Thursday you have to pick three films to match the week's topic.
And this week we are talking about college movies. Yep, studying and all that boring stuff. Now remove the studying and boring stuff, add some fun activities, and you get my three picks for the week. From alcohol, to partying, they are about the fun part of college, basically YOLO.
Everybody Wants Some!! (2016)
In Linklater's latest film, a group of college baseball players navigate their way though the freedoms and responsibilities of unsupervised adulthood. One of my favourite of this year, this film is entertaining, fun and has an outstanding soundtrack. And there's plenty of that dialogue about banal stuff of life that no one like Linklater manages to make interesting. Okay, maybe it's not so much about college, but who cares, right?
22 Jump Street (2014)
After one of their missions goes wrong, officers Schmidt and Jenko are sent back to Jump Street to go undercover and find out who is selling drugs. Only this time it's not high school, but it's college. I'm not sure which one's better, but this sure is a worthy sequel. It is dumb, but it's a lot of fun to watch and Hill and Tatum have such a good chemistry!Accepted (2006)
Since he hasn't been accepted to any college, to impress his parents Bartleby Gaines creates his own institution but things kind of get out of hands. The weakest of my picks, this one's quite stupid, and predictable, and ridiculous. But at least the story is different than usual, and it's kinda funny.
