My mother took me to see School Daze back in 88 i was 6 or 7 years old but it stuck with me for a long time and it is still one of my favorite movies. I still have the soundtrack VHS and the DVD with Spikes commentary on it. The BBC actually Aired it tonigh here in the UK. Although I had to watch it as an Adult to really understand it, but it motivated me to want to go to a HBCU, unfortunately i did not have the money to go to school until recently with my GI Bill, I am still just a bystander in the greek world and working on my studies, doing community service, and making friends that are in the fraterinites and sororities. I am overseas but i will be back home soon and I can't wait for the New chapter to open in my life. Wish me luck

I loved this movie alot growing up. I know that movie inspired me to want to have the experience of going to a HBCU. Fast foward to college and my mom would not let me go out of state so I bought the VHS to take to school and mix HBCU and PWI!! I can say that I got to meet Spike Lee while in school and asked alot of questions about the movie which he so graciously answered. Now I have the DVD with commentary and it is really good. I plan on showing it to my nephew and niece as they grow up and beginning college planning.

It came out in 1988, two years after I graduated (PWI). To me, it's definitely one of Spike's more entertaining works (my actual favorite is Mo Better Blues).
I can tell you, however, it didn't really have any influence on my pursuing membership. I may have already figured out that NPHC greeks on the graduate level had differing priorities.

Spike Lee is one of my favorite film directors and School Daze is a movie that I often like to see even on reruns on television. It addresses so many cultural issues that are still prevalent in our communities today. I wonder if he ever thought about doing a reunion with School Daze 2 at homecoming with the characters children going to their former college! Sounds like a great screenplay--hit me up Spike!

i'd pay to see it plus it would probably cover the more recent problems within Greek life now, and hopefully see if Dap's gf really did go Delta, how half Pint's life was after he crossed, what did jane do after she was cast aside, what did dina do after being promoted and a whole list of other things to ponder over. Yes Spike should make a Part 2

Never seen it! Any movie as old as I am that gets its own thread has got to be worth seeing. I'll be watching!
