So over the past week or so I've been putting together a list (in order) of My Top 10 Films I think you need to see before you go off to University. It's kind of a cover all bases, so you've seen the worst that can happen, before you're sat on the curbside of an unfamiliar city. They probably tend towards the more girly end of the spectrum, but that can't be a surprise? After all, I am a girl! Enjoy...
- Pitch Perfect (2012)
- This is probably my all-time favourite film, and although it gives some pretty odd ideas about how uni life is going to be, it teaches a seriously good lesson about putting yourself out there, joining a random new club and meeting new people. Oh, and there are some gorgeous harmonies in the mashups…
- The Inbetweeners Movie (2011)
- Be prepared for the level of awkwardness of their clubbing experiences – and for everyone to end up doing the dance when they have no idea what else to do. Everyone ends up knowing someone like each of the 4, probably not good to tell someone if they’re a Neil though!
- Clueless (1995)
- Fun fact about this, it’s the basis for Iggy Azaleas music video for Fancy! Not gonna lie, I don’t miss quite a few of the fashion trends in this, but then again, we’ll probably say the same thing in ten years time. Forever glad my driving test didn’t go the same way hers did. I need a Josh.
- 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
- If you can watch Heath Ledger sing without breaking into a grin, I frankly don’t believe you. Another moral story hidden behind a chick flick, but it’s great fun all the same.
- Mean Girls (2004)
- Every school has girls like these, or at least that think they are. But you’re done with all that petty politics (at least in theory) so take the time to celebrate the lack of people like this in your life anymore.
- St Trinians (2007)
- St Trinians is everyone’s dream of what boarding school would be like, but oh wait, we’re going to uni, which is basically boarding school with no rules, alcohol, and more parties!! When the back to school themed club night comes around, you know what’s in store.
- 21 Jump Street (2012)
- Pretty good way to learn how to party, and it’s not exactly like Channing Tatum or Dave Franco aren’t easy on the eyes. If you enjoy this, Bad Neighbors is a must.
- The Breakfast Club (1985)
- It’s a classic. Quoted all over, even in Pitch Perfect.
- Legally Blonde (2001)
- Just because people don’t think your smart enough, doesn’t mean you can’t do it. Elle Woods proves this. Oh and yet another moral story, chasing boys doesn’t mean they’ll like you, sorry, it’s the truth.
- Accepted (2006)
- For those of you who were bricking it for results, I’m sure at one point you even considered making a fake acceptance letter so you could just leave and your parents would never know. Well this guy did it, in an amazing way.
I hope you enjoyed this, let me know if you did and there might be more film/recommendation lists in the future!
All the best,
