Van Wilder and Born on the Fourth of July

National Lampoon - Van Wilder:

Good college-comedy movie.
Tara Ried looked real hot in this movie!
Had earlier seen another top-class Lampoon movie which was a spoof on Independence Day and other alien movies.
But this Lampoon movie was a lot different with an original story.
American teen-comedy as a movie-genre is great fun to watch - including 'Revenge of the Nerds i, ii, iii and iv, American Pie series, Adam Sandler-movies, Trip-movies.

Born on the Fourth of July:

Ordinary movie.
I had earlier seen a couple of movies set in the backdrop of Vietnam-war and when I watched this movie had nothing new to offer.
'American history' is a great-read particularly the turbulent 60's and early 70's.
Best 'Vietnam' related readings/serials/movies according to me include
a. Art Buchwald's columns(mostly a parody on Nixon and his Vietnam war),
b. 'The Wonder Years' and 'Tour of Duty' television serials,
c. 'Forrest Gump' movie
