<p>If memory serves, I believe Brown was mentioned in Varsity Blues and My Best Friend's Wedding...</p>
<p>This crappy Hilary Duff movie was on Starz the other day, i think it was the Cinderella one, I couldn't stop laughing when she says something like "...and I can't wait to go to Princeton..."</p>
<p>The sad thing is, she's actually doing the Harvard Extension program right now...</p>
<p>Yes, in A Cinderella Story (Hilary Duff, Chad Michael Murray), the two main characters meet in a Princeton chat room talking about how much they want to go to Princeton, and how they'll meet at Princeton ... etc. Movie ends with a Princeton letter or two as well! I'd say that one qualifies. But I, too, was amused at Hilary Duff's character going to, well, Princeton...</p>
<p>Movies that have a Northwestern reference in them:</p>
<p>National Lampoon's Van Wilder</p>
<p>Mean Girls</p>
<p>Never Been Kissed</p>
<p>Roswell (the TV show)</p>
<p>American Pie</p>
<p>Cheaper by the Dozen</p>
<p>Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the TV show)</p>
<p>Speed</p>
<p>Blues Brothers 2000</p>
<p>Ordinary People</p>
<p>High Fidelity (setting is Evanston)</p>
<p>You are missing one of the best recent ones - "Spanglish", the whole plot is being retold in the protagonist's personal essay to Princeton. The movie opens with the admissions people reading her application folder.</p>
<p>A Beautiful Mind lol</p>

On "Grey's Anatomy", the main character, Meredith Grey, attended Dartmouth College. She constantly prances around in a Dartmouth sweater.
[/quote]
</p>
<p>That's because the creator and executive producer is a Dartmouth grad.</p>
<p>Rudy- Notre Dame
With Honors - Harvard
Mona Lisa Smile- Wellesley</p>
<p>When Harry Met Sally, they go to University of Boston. or Chicago</p>
<p>"even though few people know that the beautiful campus shown in it is not harvard, but actually UCLA."</p>
<p>USC and UCLA, the #1 and #2 most filmed campuses respectively, rarely get credit for who they are. Either they stand in for an Ivy (though no Ivy I'm aware of has anything similar to Tuscan Renaissance/Romanesque architecture), or some fictional California school like "California College."</p>
<p>Oh you guys all forgot about "The Skulls I/II"</p>
<p>They were filmed AT Yale and revolve around a particular secret society that exists there. Damn, Yale is so gorgeous. Unfortunately, both films were not as spectacular.</p>
<p>Sorry Devil, the Skulls was actually filmed at the University of Toronto. They purposefully use shots that mimic Harkness and Berkeley College, but alas, it isn't the real thing,</p>
<p>The movie Skulls never directly mentions/says Yale, however, it hints it (with the Yale sweatshirts/apparel/etc). And yes, it was filmed at the U of T</p>
<p>Crap. lol</p>
<p>My bad.</p>
<p>The Aviator mentioned UCLA and Columbia.</p>
<p>In Back to the Future, Doc listens to a radio broadcast that mentions UCLA beating USC in the last minutes of a football game.... as if that would ever happen ;)</p>
<p>The funny thing is, director Robert Zemeckis is a USC grad.</p>
<p>Gilmore Girls, that girl goes to Yale and ditches and dies and is a useless student</p>
<p>this is really quite pathetic... but when i went to the preview NU thing for northwestern, the speaker talked about the sitcom Joey (the shortlived spinoff from friends)...
Joey goes to hollywood, and in one episode, as usual he cant get a job, he wishes he was a member of the Northwestern Mafia.. because they all stick together and help each other get jobs. Joey lies about being an NU grad, gets a job, and later loses it when he is found out.
The northwestern mafia actually exists... its one of the most powerful alumni-career placement tools any university has (considering how dificult it is to get a job in hollywood.</p>
<p>Family Guy - Meg goes with her parents for an interview with the Dean of Admissions at Brown. The family lives in Quahog, Rhode Island. Season 2, Episode 19: the Story on Page One.</p>
<p>antoher Family Guy college reference is in the song "We're Rhode Island Bound"</p>
<p>"Like a bunch of high school senior rejected from Harvard and forced to go to Brown...we're Rhode Island bound!"</p>
<p>True Colors (great movie with James Spader / John Cusak) - both attend UVA Law</p>
