Not many, but then the movies about people who stay in and study for 4 years tend to not be all that interesting.

So, you are saying that there may not be a movie of my college career ;)?

But actually, I knew people in college who graduated with honors and yet spent their 4 years partying like rock stars. And while my college wasn't quite Georgetown, it was fairly tough.

Well, just about when I started (i.e., the year that movie came out), Georgetown was starting to get significantly harder to get into. Seniors I knew said they would never have gotten into my year. Although at that point, the nursing school still had an acceptance rate of about 70%. I think Languages and Linguistics was about 30% and the Business School, College, and Foreign Service were from 10-20%. Foreign Service was the hardest.

Prior to that point, it was known as a school for upper middle-class Catholics who wanted to go to a decent Catholic school that wasn't Notre Dame.

I just have to say, I'm in the middle of Toy Story 3, and this would have TRAUMATIZED me as a child. Did parents punish their children with this movie?

The crypoints (in my experience) tend to be more for the adults than the kids. Matilda, at least, doesn't really get the sadness of Andy's scene at the end with Bonnie.

The Toys facing the incinerator though is pretty scary for them.

Dana, Sara wasn't bothered. There was one scene that made her a little tense, but I was the wreck while watching it. Kids are weird? And a little heartless?

Or maybe that's just mine.

Okay, yeah, the last scene is a killer. Jesus.

I remember when I was a kid, my mother was traumatized by both Peter Pan and Bambi, and I was stoic. But I can't watch them now.

Casper was terrified by the Toy Story 3 scenes at the dump; Dillo completely oblivious. Casper also got very scared at the evil chase scenes in Up, which we watched last night for the first time in a while. She's gotten old enough that she gets dramatic tension, which she didn't until about age 6.

I was terrified by Big Baby. And of course I cry at the grownup crypoints.

Back in the 40's one to-be-famous radical would register for classes, read the books, show up only for tests, ace the tests and pass the classes. Spent the rest of his time doing labor organizing and partying. I don't know if it was indulgent teachers, or tests counted for more than attendance and essays. He graduated don't know if with honors.
