Movies about wacky, teen or college hijinx . . .

[Fearless Freep]

Does "American Vampire" count?  It had teens, parents out of town, parties in the parents house, babes, vampires, Adam West as a surfer....

[raj]

The Gidget movies (I've probably seen parts of them on Saturday afternoon movies),  like Gidget, Gidget goes to Rome, Gidget goes down-sorry about the last one.
And the Annette Funicello (sp?) Beach Blanket movies.

[Andrew]

If we are going with "Gidget," I have to suggest Psycho Beach Party.

[lester1/2jr]

Surprised there hasn't been a Back to the Beach thread

[Susan]

Teenage mahem, this could cover neraly every teen movie ever made from "My best friend is a vampire" and "Better off dead" to "the lost boys". umm?

[peter johnson]

Better Off Dead is easily the best of the bunch out of ALL of these!
Let's see:  A school with a snow-covered mountain behind it on the seacoast so they can have BOTH a ski-team and a surf-team . . .
Over-the-top odd parents:  Kim Darby & David Ogden-Stiers.  Festive Aardvark costumes and jello-snorting . . .
Not high in nudity, but the insanity quotient beats anything else I've ever seen.  If you haven't seen it, check it out & name a crazier one if you can!

Three words:

Up
The

Worth it for the charades scene alone.

PRIVATE LESSONS
THE LAST AMERICAN VIRGIN

I always liked the end of HAMBURGER, where the restaurant gets demolished by bikers and by an "eating club" which features those giggling overweight twins [also in MIDNIGHT MADNESS.]

[ErikJ]

Can't believe no one mentioned Van Wilder. The cream filled long johns are bad enough(Thoses of you who have seen it know just what I mean)

[The Burgomaster]

Hey, we almost forgot the PINNACLE of bad teen or college hijinx movies:

MAD MAGAZINE PRESENTS: UP THE ACADEMY

I'd like to get my hands on THAT dvd when it gets released . . .
