Revenge of the Nerds
1984
After enduring abuse from cocky frat boys and their snotty girlfriends, freshmen nerds Lewis (Robert Carradine) and Gilbert (Anthony Edwards) start a fraternity of brainy and socially inept cohorts in order to wreak revenge. The antics culminate in an annual fraternity decathlon in which burping skills are coveted. This iconic 1980s sex comedy also features the "Revenge of the Nerds" television pilot.

I enjoyed the idea of the premise a lot more than the actual execution. There were a couple standout scenes, like the interview with the Tri-Lamb president, but there was a lot of stuff that feel flat, or was just straight-up Porky's-style sexist.
