Comedy Movies/Community College references in movies

Advertisement


Question
Cannot find any good 80s or 90s comedy movies that reference community colleges in a negative/joking manner. Any movie with a quote - then hopefully I can find some video of it to put into my presentation for work (to show how perception has changed & how community college's are on the rise).

Answer
right off the top of my head i'm going to say 'risky business' w/ tom cruise.

i know there is college conversation between he and his father and then tom cruise's character realizes he's bombed out and will have to start looking at community colleges instead of Ivy league colleges.

i'm sure community college is also referenced @ least once in 'animal house' with belushi.

hope that helps.

I know funny. My husband knows slapstick. between the two of us, we know most of the funny movies and who stars/directed them. we`re particularly fond of movie bloopers, and can recite verbatim from films like caddyshack, meatballs, animal house etc. huge bill murray fans, as well as robin williams and steve martin.
