Harvard in Hollywood: What to Watch on the Ride to Yale

With the Game coming up less than a week from now, people are getting ready to go all out and party—unfortunately, that means a boring two hour ride to New Haven. We know that the thought of Yale is repugnant, so immerse yourself in the Harvard bubble for a little longer on the shuttle with a Harvardian film!

Good Will Hunting
The quintessential Harvard film. It's always great to see Ben Affleck, catch him before he becomes Batman, and Matt Damon before The Bourne Identity. Be sure to scream “How you like dem apples?” while reminiscing about the Dunkin’ Donuts on Mass. Ave that will be shut down. Or not. Or moved?

Love Story
Oh yes, the annual freshman favorite film about the love between a rich Harvard student and a not so wealthy Radcliffe girl. But seriously, it’s too easy to make fun of this film (can you believe it’s Oscar-nominated?). Despite its cheesiness, it’s still a better love story than anything you can find at Yale.

Legally Blonde
If you’re in the mood for a good laugh, because you won’t find any at Yale, watch the tale of Reese Witherspoon at Harvard Law School. While it is always fun to perform the “Bend and Snap”, please don’t do it while on the way to the Game—it’s a shuttle bus, not a nail salon.

The Social Network
Has anyone from Yale created anything as powerful as Facebook? We didn’t think so. This is because Harvard is the best. Watch it, love it, live it.
