8. Revenge Of The Nerds
A definitive 80's classic and quite possibly the greatest "sex romp" comedy of all time. Revenge of the Nerds chronicles the story of best friends and nerds Lewis Skolnick and Gilbert Lowe, whom enrol in Adams College to study computer science under the impression that their days of being bullied were behind them. Unfortunately they were unaware of the antics of the Alpha Betas, a fraternity that consisted of the school's football team, who thanks to their own drunken shenanigans carelessly burn down their own house and seize the freshmen dorm for themselves. When they are turned down by every other fraternity for being "nerds", Lewis and Gilbert must team up with the other outcasts of society who have also been ostracised by the elite to find somewhere to live and fight back against the oppressors. During their inevitable triumph over adversity they go on panty raids, secretly set up a spy network inside a sorority and in one case, seduction through cunnilingus. Definitely inappropriate.
Lesson Learnt: BE YOURSELF I want you to listen to this speech before we continue: That ending right there not only had an emotional impact on me for years to come but made me feel proud of who I was, regardless of what was told by bullies or otherwise. This film taught me to fight for my right to be human and fight against what may oppress me or my ability to grow. Whenever I finished watching this film I always left with a sense of pride and a sense of dignity that the ones in my life who were supposed to give it to me could not provide. And to this day I try to treat all people, regardless of their stature or their "hobbies" equally and without judgement. I don't care if you are into World of Warcraft or MMA, I will treat you both equally and with respect.
Alternate Lesson: BE WARY OF DRUNKEN JOCKS Now this piece of advice I will take to the grave, as jocks can be a little... narcisistic, to say the least. You see, I am just under 6ft 8, 300 pounds, and while you might think being that size would keep me clear of trouble, the thing with jocks is that they like to prove themselves by taking on the biggest guy in the general area. Which always turned out to be me. Unfortunately it's not that easy to take me down and after my MMA/pro wrestling training I can be even more lethal. But you can't tell that to these guys and the result usually ends up the same. Me, standing over some drunk jock wondering what the hell just happened. I'd estimate that in all the fights I have been in my life, I may have started about 2. The other 90% came from drunken jocks wanting to prove themselves. Be their mates, just always keep the eye in the back of your head open.
