All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Ski School focuses on the party crazy, fun loving, ski students of the supposedly infamous "Section 8" of a ski camp of some sort. The very premise of the movie is extremely bizarre. Who goes to ski school? Who takes skiing this seriously? The party skiers clearly don't care about skiing, so why do they spend money to go to ski school? Why are the school's instructors such jerks to the dudes they're supposed to be teaching? Why are there 26 year olds going to ski school, shouldn't they have a job or something? These are all questions I thought, and are completely unanswerable in any mental capacity. Thankfully, the movie contains some purely excellent dialogue to make up for any plot shortcomings. There are some true pearls of wisdom to be gleaned from this film, such as, "It's not about how far you go, it's about how go you far", and "to succeed, you have to lose your mind". I'm pretty sure that's exactly what Tom Brady tells his huddles before he leads game winning drives. Some highlights: The "competition" at the end of the movie comes out of nowhere and it becomes painfully obvious that the no-talent-ass-clown writers of this great movie had no idea where it was going and basically took out a how to guide on how to write endings to horrible straight-to-DVD releases, you suffer through obvious stock footage of god knows what kind of ski events and the scoring of the events is definitely not based on anything whatsoever (besides, perhaps, how much neon you fit on you team uniform). Another highlight is related to the stock footage which they just abuse during this film....count how many times you see this tower advertising "Rossignol" snowboards (only the finest companies wanted to put their name in this film), I counted 53. The biggest sponser of the movie, Labatt Blue (I was shocked it wasn't Natty Light), provides the highlight of the film for me. At the "climax" of the movie, Section 8 shows up to the final "race" with a bunch of half naked bitties and a bunch of Labatt Blue (true bro-style) and just starts ragin on the mountain before they ski (obviously in good ol' the days before Sonny Bono ruined it for us all, i mean seriously the whole movie you see people skiing WHILE drinking, I'm talking beer in hand, it looks incredible). To accomplish this amount of large-scale raging, they send a sled FILLED with cases of delicious Labatt Blue down the hill...I think I shed a single tear at the glory of this scene.

One of my favorite movies of ALL TIME. I remember being a teenager wanting to get into my 20's and party at the slopes! Now I'm 30 wishing I was in my 20's and I never did make it to the slopes! But I definitely had my "ski school" days. Me and my friends used to tune this in on HBO late at night and get drunk as skunks pretending we were there. This movie is just one of those classics that will never leave my shelf.I've got it on VHS, and have been waiting for the DVD for a LONG time now, and if I have to I'll make it into a DVD myself! My favorite quote of all time is from this movie: Dave in goofy ski helmet: "To be the best, you MUST LOST YOUR MIND!" The dude posting the other quotes were great too! I think another favorite part was when the ski director goes: "Anybody got a beer?!" and then somebody throws an empty one at him. lol! I thought the soundtrack was excellent as well. Nostalgia is a beautiful thing! So cheers to all fellow Ski School fans.. it's time to PARTAY!

I was just browsing my friend's movie collection and came across "Ski School". I almost put it down without even saying anything because I thought it was gonna be a dumb movie about skiing competitions, but I asked him about it and he said "It's funny, and it's got naked women in it." As SOON as I heard that, I shoved it in. To my surprise, it was a pretty good movie. As many have said, it's a very quotable movie: "In order to be the best, you must lose your mind!" -- "Welcome to my kingdom, I will bed you all before the night is through!" -- "You, get beer! You, get...beer! You, get...laid!" -- and many, many others. With a combination of non-stop jokes, partying, naked women, and skiing, this is definitely the perfect comedy for guys.And also to my pleasant surprise, it has an awesome soundtrack -- they play 2 songs from one of my favorite bands, Lock Up, which is guitarist Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine's old band -- "Punch Drunk" and "Half Man, Half Beast". If you haven't seen this movie, you MUST! It deserves the publicity. 10/10 for entertainment value.
