College spring breaks are known to be legendary. To prepare yourself for this upcoming week of booze, beaches, and nonstop babes, here’s a list of classic spring break movies that feature students just like us.


BIBS AND STINKY GO TO VEGAS

Sixth in the inimitable Bibs and Stinky series, this 160-minute film forever alters the personal and psychological landscape of Stinky (and Bibs!)


SUNROOF

David Cronenberg’s nostalgically jingoistic road trip movie, and the first feature film to answer the question, “Can I get the dressing on the side?”


SEVEN MINUTES

24-year-old EGOT winner Sal Tlick steals the show in this dark comedy, filled to the brim with saucy secrets and worms that got cut in half so now they’re two worms.


ROUTE 21

Set in a beat-up VW Bus but filmed in a decommissioned nuclear submarine, this movie follows dynamic duo Colin and Doug as they trek across the East Coast in search of someone who knows if green and red bell peppers are different peppers, or the same pepper at different stages of ripeness. Guaranteed to tug at your heartstrings.


FREE AMOS

Though technically a documentary about the down-on-its luck DePaul rodeo team, this movie makes the list for breakout star Ron Lonnis’ iconic line, “How are we supposed to find 25 heifers before spring break?”


SPRING BACK

A haunting, persistent film about a group of D3 gymnasts who get stuck in a time loop just as they’re crawling out of the foam pit at regionals.


BIBS AND STINKY TAKE BISMARCK

A love letter to North Dakota, Weezer, and, as always, whatever weird thing Bibs and Stinky have got going on.
