Thursday Movie Picks: Sororities/Fraternities/School Secret Societies


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.

As you can see from the title of this post, this week is also college related. Only this time isn't just anything college related, but sororities, fraternities and secret societies. I've never been a member of any of these, and I'm not even interested, but I've seen a lot of films about them, and picking three film wasn't hard at all. Since the topics are three, I picked one for each, and without further ado, here's my picks


The House Bunny (2008)

After being kicked out of the playboy mansion, Shelley finds a job at a sorority full of socially awkward girl. I think this is enough to discourage anyone from watching this film (don't judge me, I watched it only for Emma Stone). It isn't that funny, nor interesting. Neither Anna Faris can save it. 

Neighbors (2014)

Forced to live next to a fraternity house, a couple with a newborn baby will do whatever they can to take those frat guys down. I know I'm going against the crowd here but I didn't like this film either. It was like a tedious version of American Pie, and most of the jokes just didn't work for me. But there's a shirtless Zac Efron in it.


Dead Poets Society (1989)

The lives of a group of students change when their new, unorthodox English teacher encourages them to make their lives extraordinary. You know where I'm going, right? Wrong, I love absolutely love this film. It is such an amazing and uplifting hymn to life, and Robin Williams is terrific in it. This film is pure poetry.
