RACooper · #1 07-09-2003, 01:25 PM

Didn't see this thread around so I'd thought that I would start it.

Has your school appeared in Film? Which ones?

University of Toronto:

The Skulls
PCU
The Cube
Good Will Hunting
The X Men
The Hurricane
Urban Legends
a whole whack of Canadian TV movies

thats all I can remember right now.... there are about 3 others being filmed on campus right now.... we'll see which ones aren't straight to video though

The University of Nebraska was in About Schmidt, although they called it KU in the movie. Jack Nicholson's fraternity house was actually Tri-Delt here at UNL. I'm not sure where they filmed the inside scenes though.

That's the only movie I know of that was on our campus.

Do Pornos count? because if so then Shanes World Campus Scavenger hunt was filmed at ASU. I dont think ASU has been in any movies, but Road Rules Campus Crawl was filmed at ASU for one of their events

Which scenes of Parenthood were filmed at the University of Florida?

University of Maryland was used in Saint Elmo's Fire. A few others but I can't remember.

Steve Martin's dream sequence when his son was in a shooting rampage. UF is listed in the closing credits, and both my sister and uncle, UF students at the time the movie was shot, knew people and places in the scene.

off the top of my head UBC can be seen in the X-Files (when it shot in Vancouver), Josie and the Pussycats, Anti Trust (I met Ryan Phillipe on campus while he was filming) and I'm sure there have been a tonne of other tv shows and films, both Canadian and American - but I can't think of any right now.

They're always filimg there though - because I would often have to change my route to class because the film crews were always in the way...

Road Trip was partly filmed at the University of Georgia. Mostly the orientation/tour scenes. In one part you can see the G in the stadium.

And an early 70's movie called The Midnight Man was filmed at Clemson University in SC.

UBC was also in "The Accused" and "The Fifth Day" (I think...Vancouver was for sure)

He Got Game was partially filmed at Elon University. At one point he looks around and goes "This ain't the projects, they got green grass here!" that's kind of a joke around campus because the landscaping is immaculate.

The Exorcist was largely shot on Georgetown's campus.
