No, Spring Breakers, starring James Franco and Selena Gomez, is not the only movie celebrating that gloriously messy time of year when beer flows like water and restraint goes to die…but it is the first one we recommend.

‘Spring Breakers’

Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson, Selena Gomez, and James Franco get lit before lit was a thing. Seriously, this is the spring break movie to end all spring break movies.

‘Cabin in the Woods’

Before Chris Hemsworth was Thor (and one of the four hottest Hollywood Chrises), he was a college bro who goes on a vacay with his girlfriend and besties to a remote cabin…you know where this is going…in the woods. Take notes and let this slanted, unique take on the horror genre be your guide to avoiding death in trope-y situations.

‘Ibiza: Love Drunk’

Harper (Gillian Jacobs) makes the wonderful mistake of taking her girlfriends on a work trip to Barcelona, and shit gets out of control. Also starring Richard Madden as… a DJ?

‘Dude’

All your faves star in this movie that flew very under the radar. Lucy Hale, Alex Wolff, Alexandra Shipp, Awkwafina, and Kathryn Prescott play a group of friends who smoke a lot of weed and deal with the end of high school.

‘American Pie 2’

Your favorite group from the instant classic, American Pie, returns from their first year of college. Can things ever be the same with your old high school buddies after a full year apart? Yes, yes they can.

’47 Meters Down’

Honestly, this list was just in need of more beaches, sharks, and Mandy Moore.

Stream Now

‘Van Wilder’

Van Wilder (Ryan Reynolds) would pretty much stay in college forever, so when his dad stops shelling out cash for tuition, Wilder will do pretty much whatever it takes to make back the money before he’s forced to graduate.

Opposite a “sexy reporter” from the school newspaper played by Tara Reid, this is pretty much Ryan Reynolds’ most Ryan Reynoldsy role, and one he probably won’t be showing his kids anytime soon.

Stream Now

‘XOXO’

Now this is a spring break movie. A group of six random 20-somethings (including Sarah Hyland) meet at “the biggest EDM festival in America, XOXO.” But the stakes are highest for Ethan (Graham Phillips), a young DJ who gets added to the lineup after his music goes viral just days before the festival. No pressure.

‘Spring Breakdown’

Do you want to watch Amy Poehler, Rachel Dratch, and Parker Posey go on a wild SB vacation way, way after college? Yes, yes you do.

‘Eurotrip’

Eurotrip pretty much speaks for itself. Just be prepared to have ‘Scotty Doesn’t Know’ stuck in your head until the end of time.

‘Fyre’

You need to watch Netflix’s Fyre Festival documentary, especially if you can’t afford any spring break vacation of your own this year. It’s basically an instant cure for FOMO.

’22 Jump Street’

In the sequel to 2012’s hilarious 21 Jump Street, Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum’s undercover alter egos, Schmidt and Jenko, head to college for another drug investigation—culminating in a wild showdown during spring break that’s, TBD, only seems slightly more traumatizing than actual spring break.

‘From Justin to Kelly’

Back in 2003, as the world was collectively testing the limits of how far American Idol fame could go, season 1 winner (and legit icon) Kelly Clarkson and runner-up Justin Guarini starred in a little spring break musical called From Justin to Kelly. It’s more ridiculous than you remember it and honestly prime to be used as a drinking game during actual spring break.

‘Psycho Beach Party’

And, if modern throwbacks to classic 1960s beach movies are your thing (or at least a key part of your spring break movie ~vibe~), add 2000’s Psycho Beach Party to your queue. The movie is simultaneously a send-up to ’60s beach movies, classic slasher flicks, and ’50s psychodramas.

‘The Real Cancun’

In 2003, the reality TV genre took a run at the big screen with The Real Cancun, which was literally just a feature-length reality show about a group of 16 Americans partying in Cancun, Mexico for spring break. It was a flop, but it’s a time capsule of the early aughts.
