#3 Back to School (1986)
Directed by Alan Metter
Starring Rodney Dangerfield, Sam Kinison, Robert Downey Jr.

Back before Rodney Dangerfield was a dirty old man...OK, he was always a dirty old man. He was probably born that way. That's fine, though, because the dude is funny, especially in this wacky movie about a rich financier returning to college to be with his son and get that college education he always wanted. Oh, and to check out the girls, too, of course.

Reality Check: Unless your college's diving team is the most exciting spectator sport on campus, you probably won't find much in common with college life.

Getting Lucky: Not a chance, other than the fact that even you probably look sexy compared to Rodney Dangerfield and Sam Kinison.

Babe Factor: Do you get turned on by Sally Kellerman? If you do, not only is this your movie, but you probably also have some issues with your mother. Keep your eyes peeled, however, for a yummy pre-Deep Space Nine Terry Farrell in a skimpy swimsuit.

Would you want to go to school here?: If you, like Rodney, could pay someone to go to class and take notes for you all the time -- and unless you're an athlete, that's not likely -- you'd certainly live it up on this campus.
