Party Scenes!

1. Real Genius' Tanning Invitational

What's the best way to blow off stress from studying in a high-pressure environment? By transforming an indoor school auditorium into beachfront property and throwing a shindig! High props for inventive invites (impossibly bright laser beams jutting around the campus), but that's nothing compared to a jury-rigged pool, waterslide, and leis for all. It's even a great opportunity to practice your SCUBA diving techniques!

2. PCU's Pit Party

When political correctness threatens the unity of a school body, only an off-the-cuff party is the way to bring them back together. Enter a waylaid George Clinton (P-Funk), overpriced admission fees, mosh pit surfing, zero personal space, Naked Guy and the most expensive toilets in the Western hemisphere. Makes one miss college, really.

3. Fellowship of the Ring's Bilbo's Birthday Party

Teens? College kids? Ravers? Heads up — Hobbits know how to throw a better party than the lot of you. Don't believe me? Did your last clambake feature gigantic tankards of ale, long tables piled with delectable foods, short hairy folk, wizards, brilliant fireworks and suspicious magic? I didn't think so. We should all have a birthday party like this once in our lifetime.

4. Bachelor Party's Bachelor Party

It's a time-honored tradition: round up all the buddies on the eve of your blissed nuptuals, and allow alcohol to pave the way to true stupidity. Gypsy strippers, espionage tactics, and kidnapping your father-in-law are sure to follow. And the evening's not complete without a quaalude-popping, cocaine-snorting donkey who dies of a drug overdose. Oh, you nutty 80's!

5. Can't Hardly Wait's Graduation Bash

In movie lingo, it's the "party where everything happens". It's hard to pick just one out of the crowd, but I've always been partial to the antics of Ethan Embry's final moments of high school glory. In the space of a night, true love will be revealed, nerds will infiltrate, jocks will get their comeuppance, rooms will be trashed, Guns 'n Roses will be played, brownies will be licked, and police will be notified. Parents will be conspicuously absent.

6. Die Hard's Christmas Party

Not every party is worthy of a terrorist takeover, but that's what you get when you invite Bruce Willis to anything, these days. Sure, this soiree begins on the tepid side of things: champagne, Jingle Bells, civilized conversation, behind-closed-doors tomfoolery. But when you chuck a wily evil mastermind into the mix, well, that's when this party goes off the hook! Plus, Willis' version of "tag" is a lot more interesting than most I've seen.
