there was a whole subgenre of these movies, aimed at a general audience. it was always absurd, EVERY character was wearing a corduroy jacket with elbow patches and smoking a scholarly pipe, and the credential name-dropping was always over-the-top to the point of being ludicrous 'He won 3 National Book awards and a Fields Medal...' because 95% of moviegoers have no idea what any of that stuff is.

Good Will Hunting might have opened the floodgate, but then there was, like, Wonder Boys, One True Thing, I remember one with Dennis Quaid, and a few more.

'My sophomore English literature student has had 5 stories published in the New Yorker...'

'Zack Morris got a 1593 on his SAT'

I think Zack Morris got a 1502, which was hilarious b/c that's not even a real score (they all end in 0)

Wearing tweed (with or without elbow pads) actually does make establishing classroom authority easier, since cliches become reality.

that doesn't fit in this subgenre, totally different type of movie. also vaguely based on Bert Kreischer's actual college life at FSU and the Rolling Stone cover story about him
