3. School Daze (1988): Wake up! Spike Lee’s “School Daze”, starring Laurence Fishburne Giancarlo Esposito, Kyme and Tisha Campbell-Martin is easily one of the most provocative college films of all time. The musical dramedy turns the mirror on ourselves and confronts the issues of self-identity, colorism, and social class differences. Plus, no other fictional sorority or fraternity has ever been more fun to watch than the Gamma Rays and Gamma Phi Gamma.

In celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the film this year, director Spike Lee offered some insight into the spelling of the title and the goals of the film.

“I spelled the title D-A-Z-E because people are asleep, They are incoherent, discombobulated, bamboozled and hornswoggled,” he told Ebony magazine. “It’s a microcosm of the Black community as a whole and shows what I feel are the petty differences that keep us from being more unified.”
