6 Best College Fraternity Comedy Movies

By Vlad Zakh · May 30, 2026

Fraternity life is chaotic, rebellious and, on screen at least, extremely funny. Animal House set the template, Old School has three middle-aged friends starting their own fraternity, and Neighbors pits a couple with a newborn against the rowdy frat next door. Revenge of the Nerds, The Skulls and Zoolander round out the six, which is a very mixed bag.
