Nicole Alicia's Top 10 List of College Movies

In my debut novel, "Drama University" I take my readers back to the early 2000's before anyone knew what a Facebook was and before cell phone's were "smart phones".  Not only is it a time period where my main character Melody attends College, but it was also when I started College as well.

If you are currently attending College or have graduated...you know we like to reminisce on the "good 'ol" days (Goodness, I sound old but whatever).

So while many of you are either about to be on winter break or just want some good movies to sit back, reminisce and laugh...Here's some a list of my Top 10 list of College movies:

1. School Daze. I'm a definitely a Spike Lee fan. This movie is my favorite, not only because it has Jasmine Guy from my favorite College TV show a "Different World" but also because it was my first exposure of seeing what black sorority and fraternity's (although a complete exaggeration) was like.\
2. Love & Basketball. Although this is more of a coming of age story, I think the College part of the movie is very relevant. Plus, I love Sanaa Lathan!
3. Drumline. Matter of fact, I saw this at the movie while I was in my first semester of College in 2002. The original I love and have seen more times than I care to count. Plus, who didn't love Nick Cannon back then?
4. Dear White People. A great film about the different types of people you may encounter on campus, mixed in with a story line about how racism often plays a part on campus and how students often trying to portray being someone they're really not.
5. Higher Learning. The ending always makes me so mad, but it's so nostalgic to go back to the 90's.
6. House Party 2. A classic. I really don't know what else to say!
7. Burning Sands. I enjoyed this one and as the former girlfriend of a black fraternity member, I found it to be spot on from what I was told these young men experience while "on line".
8. Stomp The Yard. Another film focusing on black fraternities (although fictitious), I love the story line and the story. Columbus Short was a snack, was he not?! LOL
9. The Great Debaters. Although I've only seen this film once, I do remember it has many life lessons and teachable moments in it. You have to really sit down a watch this one.
10. How High. It's a really goofy movie that makes me laugh every time, because it's just so ridiculous. Plus, who doesn't like comedy!

And that's my Top 10!What are some of your favorites?Until next time...-Nicole Alicia
