You know those movies you can't step on a college campus without seeing or hearing a reference of? These are those movies. Selections are based on cultural effect, popularity, and of course, quotability.

1. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

Will Ferrell at his best. Anchorman mixes its all-star cast with the hilarious wit of writer/director Adam McKay to make one of the best comedies of the early 2000's. From legendary flute solos to back alley news station brawls, "Anchorman" has everything you want, and need, in a Ferrell flick.

2. Pineapple Express

Usually whenever Seth Rogen and James Franco get together for a project, it's pretty great (or should I say dope). The Freaks and Geeks alumni deliver in this 2008 stoner flick featuring action, friendship, hilarity, and yes, a whole bunch of pot. The story follows the relationship of drug dealer Saul Silver (James Franco) and buyer Dale Denton (Seth Rogen), as they impart on a journey to clear their names after witnessing a murder. Move over Cheech and Chong, there are two new kings of kush.

3. Cabin in the Woods

When is the last time you saw a Hemsworth in a delightfully quirky horror flick that challenges film tropes and cinematic form? I'll tell you when- not since "Cabin in the Woods" came out in 2012. The reason this depressingly under appreciated film was able to score such a name as Chris Hemsworth was because it was filmed in March of 2009, but because of MGM's bankruptcy and digital production delays, the movie was shelved until three years later. All that aside, "Cabin in the Woods" is a horror that sets the viewer up in the beginning for another "teenagers get killed in the woods" movie, but quickly slips into meta thrill ride of "Hunger Games"-like arenas and hillbilly murders. College students love this movie because of all of these factors and the WTF conclusion. Watch the ending, you won't regret it.

4. Everybody Wants Some!

Director Richard Linklater's latest display of his somewhat ominous understanding of youth and coming of age takes form in his 2016 "Dazed and Confused's" evil twin, "Everybody Wants Some!". With it being so new, many campuses have yet to grab onto this lovely film, but it remains on this list for its uncanny ability to relate to every aspect of the college experience. Taking place in a small Texan college in the 1980's, the story follows Jake Bradford (Blake Jenner), the newest member of the University's baseball team, as he parties with a band of style-warping athletes in look of a good time. With breakout performances from Jenner and Glen Powell, who portrays team partier Finnegan, "Everybody Wants Some" is a great tribute to college life, and athlete culture (not to mention it has a great soundtrack).

5. Animal House

What you want, and probably won't get at your time in school. This quintessential party flick pretty much invented the genre of college party movies. I mean, whenever you have John Belushi smashing beer cans on his head and spitting food at preppy girls, there is really not much to complain about. If you haven't seen it, see it. You're about to go to college for God's sake.

6. Mean Girls

Are we talking quotability? Because this movie is one of, if not the most, quotable movies of all time. It is the perfect storm of early 2000's faces, like writer/actress Tina Fey, pre-breakdown Lindsay Lohan, pre-breakout Amanda Seyfried, Rachel McAdams, Amy Poehler, and Tim Meadows. I don't care if this took place in high school either, this isn't a movie for knowing just in college, it's a movie for knowing in life.

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO WATCH SEQUEL

7. High Fidelity

Ever been through a breakup? Do you love music? This movie is for you. Based off of Nick Hornby's best-selling novel, "High Fidelity" gives a funny and heartfelt look into the male psyche. With a killer cast boasting the likes of John and Joan Cusack, early Jack Black, and Tim Robbins, this film is a glimmer of hope in the sea of crappy Hornby book to screen adaptions. The story follows record store owner Rob Gordon (John Cusack) as he navigates his way through a tumultuous breakup. Any music nerd will need to see this movie, or at least buy the kick-butt soundtrack.

8. The Big Lebowski

Admit it, after watching this you tried to drink White Russians, didn't you? Jeff Bridges is a stoner, John Goodman is a crazy Vietnam vet, Julianne Moore is a baby-hungry performance artist, and Sam Elliot's milky voice guides us through the immortal cult classic, "The Big Lebowski." This Coen brothers film allows the everyday college bum to imagine him/herself being thrown into a mess of money, gangsters, and nihilists, much like the movie's protagonist "The Dude". Quotability? Check. Action? Check. Drug-induced dream sequence? Double check. Everyone should watch this movie, and if you think otherwise.... shut up, you're out of your element.

9. Fight Club

What's the first rule of fight club? You talk to your frat bros about how awesome "Fight Club" is. You may have even made plans to create one of your own. When you mix a movie about fighting for fun with the uncontrollable levels of testosterone in college guys, a cultural phenomenon ensues. "Fight Club" may be one of the few DVDs that are still used out there, because a dude will never pass up the opportunity to watch Brad Pitt and Edward Norton beat the crap out of each other. Furthermore, one great part of the film gave everyone the perfect breakup line- "You met me at a very strange time in my life."

10. Monty Python and the Holy Grail

This movie is the perfect example of college-aged students bringing entertainment into the mainstream. In this case, the British comedy troupe Monty Python scored big-time off of college campus' devouring of their cult classic "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." With whimsical situations and a myriad of quotable moments, the holy grail remains the most successful film ever made by a comedy troupe. In fact, movies like "Best in Show" or "Super Troopers" would have never been possible if it wasn't for the wit of the Monty boys and the fandom of college students.

11. This is Spinal Tap

You know, sometimes a 10 item article just needs that "oomf," that's why I make an 11th item. If you haven't seen this classic mockumentary, then you probably won't get that joke. Once upon a time, comedy giants Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer, and Michael McKean got together to make a fake hair band called Spinal Tap. This movie documents their current tour, as well as their colorful background featuring spontaneously combusting drummers and adapting musical fashions. "This is Spinal Tap" is another hilarious comedy troupe film with great lines and improvised moments. College dorms are still dense with classic ST quotes like "You can't really dust for vomit."
