The new Clint Eastwood movie, Trouble with the Curve, has multiple scenes filmed in downtown Athens, but not on campus (one on a street, one in The Globe-bar one block from North Campus)

I know not exactly what we're looking for, but thought I would mention it

this... and Prince of Tides. Nick Nolte wears SC t-shirts through out the movie. (he played football for SC in the book)

but our best reference was The Simpsons

At the beginning of my biggest guilty pleasure movie, The Rundown, the Rock is trying to retrieve a Super Bowl ring from an NFL MVP QB from MSU.

It flashes up his bio before the Rock beats up everyone in da club.

Mizzou:



Box Elder follows best friends and roommates, John Scott (Sklar) Alex, Nick, and Chad (Haas) through their final years of college at the University of Missouri. The loose narrative structure is anchored by John's breakup with his girlfriend Laura (Hina Abdullah). The four dudes party, eat sandwiches, and repeatedly ignore their scholastic responsibilities.

A review on film blog, Row Three, provides an analysis and review of the film, giving it 4 out of 5 stars and calling it, "a witty and funny story that exceeds expectations."

During the film's engagement at the Gene Siskel Film Center in Chicago, Time Out Chicago gave the film 3 stars and said it, "plays like a cross between Richard Linklater’s Slacker and TV’s Seinfeld."

Actually, the kid in The Toy wears an LSU hat during a 10 minute segment. I would consider that referencing LSU.

Something the Lord Made-Vandy movie

Alan Rickman hires Mos Def to work in his lab (as a janitor) at Vanderbilt University, ends up as a researcher.

Also, part of the Hannah Montana movie was filmed there...

If A&M's image and likeness was NOT parodied by the fictitious Texas State University in Necessary Roughness, it sure the frick came close, right down to our over-the-top, obsessive hatred for the other state school, "the #1 Texas Colts" (fricking longhorns), and our SERIOUS NCAA problems.

Sex, Lies, & Video Tape - The movie was filmed in Baton Rouge. Steven Soderbergh, who wrote and directed the film attented and graduated from LSU Lab High School. His father was the Dean of Education at LSU. Soderbergh later went on to direct Traffic, Ocean 11, 12, & 13, Erin Brockovich, The Informant, Solaris, and Contagion.

Necessary Roughness was shot at North Texas and the unis resembled theirs from when they were North Texas State. If anything the plot was more representative of the issues SMU was going through.


If we are going to do any moving that has a passing use of a school then I would mention A Few Good Men.

The soldiers at the beginning doing the drills are the Texas A&M fish (freshmen) Drill Team.
