College graduation season got you misty-eyed for your rambunctious university years of yore?
Here are five campus classics, available on DVD, that will help you revisit your college glory days.

  • "Animal House" (Universal, $12.

    98): The college movie to end all college movies, with a career-defining performance from John Belushi. If you or someone you know didn't have a poster of Belushi in his "college" sweatshirt on a dorm room wall, you didn't really go to college.
    Best quote: "Toga!

    Toga!"

  • "Old School" (Dreamworks, $14.99): Frat life is sweeter the second time around for Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn in this 2003 romp, which has established itself as something of the "Animal House" of the new decade.


    Best quote: "We're going streaking!"

  • "Accepted" (Universal, $19.98): A group of college rejects -- including Apple's "Mac guy" Justin Long -- band together and form their own university in this 2006 comedy.


    Best quote: "There are plenty of successful people who didn't go to college. Albert Einstein. You know?

    Pocahontas never went to college. Corey Feldman and Corey Haim; they had a great run. Both Lewis and Clark.

    Suzanne Somers. Bono."

  • "Back to School" (MGM, $14.

    98): Rodney Dangerfield is the Big Man on Campus in this 1986 cult classic that contains perhaps the best diving scene in film history. Why haven't any Olympic divers attempted the Triple Lindy?
    Best quote: "Bring us a pitcher of beer every seven minutes until somebody passes out.

    And then bring one every 10 minutes."

  • "Kicking and Screaming" (Criterion, $29.95): Not to be confused with Ferrell's "Kicking Screaming," Noah Baumbach's 1995 film follows a group of students who have no idea what to do with their lives after college, so they end up hanging around the same campus bars and going to the same off-campus parties.

    Oh yeah, and they talk. A lot.
    Best quote: "What I used to able to pass off as a bad summer could now potentially turn into a bad life.
