School Spirit - Good Bad Flicks 

Larry Linville came to our college to speak in the late eighties and I was in charge of videotaping his lecture. He talked about the various shows and movies he’d been in, and he mentioned “a horrible teen sex comedy that was no one saw.” I knew it from the video store at the front of the theater I worked at on the weekends, so when I was taking the mic off him, I said “I bet I can make you cringe: School Spirit!” His face dropped, and he said “Ugh, don’t tell me that you SAW it!” I said I did, because people were always renting it from the video store I worked at, and he said “At least I can count on residuals from it, I guess.” He also thanked me for not mentioning its name during his lecture!

My local video store made a killing renting VHS’s like this. The owner probably owns an island now. Thanks, Cecil. You da man!

“Geezer, let’s dance” may just be the best line in cinema history.

"Avenge Meeeee!!" I almost spit out my tea 😂

This movie is 80s to the core. Yes the random party breaking out scene and yes bras weren't cool and losing your viginity was all that mattered. Those were the days.

Great job on the review, Cecil. As someone who was going to college when this film was made, I can say that students in fictional colleges were having a lot more fun than I was and they never seemed to have to go to class.

A wholesome 80's comedy about necrophilia 🥰🥰🥰bonus points for having ghosts that aren't as transparent as those shirts the girls were wearing!

Judy: "He slimed me." 😏😏😏 Sorry sorry, bad ectoplasm joke. 🤣🤣🤣

Core Late Night Cinemax Movie Memory Watch Unlocked. I remember catching this at some point in the mid to late ‘90’s one night during some marathon they were running that night.

Yes parties just breaking out seemed to take place a lot in the 1980s. Much like in the early part of the 21st century in high school people broke out in spontaneous dance routines.

When I was a kid, i recall being scaroused for the first time in my life seeing this cover on the shelf lol. Never actually got to..uh.. experience it until now. Thanks for the vid!

Ah, the 1980s, where you couldn't leave your home without running into a random band looking to play a house party gig.

Lucky Pierre lol the way you said that had me rolling

This looks like a film that would air on USA UP ALL NIGHT from way back in the day. Awesome job on the video Cecil 👍👍

I can always count on you resurrecting movies i haven’t seen or thought of in 30 years. Thanks Cecil 😂

I remember dad had this movie on VHS. Was one they didn't let me watch right away. When I did finally see it when I got older, I thought best way to describe it is cheesy fun. Yeah, it is very cheesy, but a fun movie to watch too. Anyways, thank you for this, did enjoy it.

So in this movie when you die, you don't really die, you just gain the ability to become invisible.

I always saw the VHS in my local video store but it was never available to rent. Someone at my store LOVED this movie!

Yet another 80s gem. Thank you for sharing this with us, Cecil. You’re truly awesome.

Looks like a lot of 80s movies 😊, I miss those days. They all flew by , and I didn't even know it.

37 Naked breasts in the movie? Miscount or Mastectomy? Eh. Whatever. Great video as always Cecil. Keep 'em coming.

Another hidden 80s gem! It's not perfect, but stupid 80s fun! School Spirit is one of those movies were you can just turn your brain off and enjoy the film. Don't think about anything lol just watch it and laugh! You can laugh at the movie or with it, it doesn't matter. As long as you're laughing and having fun, the movie did it's job. I'm really soft when it comes to 80 films! That's just me. Worth a watch! Great video, man! Thanks for reviewing this one!

Comment, comment, comment. Enthusiastic comment. Comment about how much I love this channel. And, as someone already pointed out, those were P-Nuttles in the vending machine. One of my all-time favorites.

Ah,yeah. Doors...why does it have to be doors?! - Billy Batson

I love your sense of humor in these good bad flicks. You've also introduced me to so many movies I would have never seen otherwise. And all those awesomely good bad Italian films

Man, I wish thumbnails were nearly as good as VHS boxes.

Definitely one of those kinds of '80s flicks that could never be made nowadays! Those kinds are my faves!!

As the AI has been messing with your visibility, I am posting and interacting as swiftly as I can on your new uploads. Together we will beat the machine.

How did I miss *this* one?! Man, I love this channel! Between the movie clips and Cecil's narration, the LOLs never stopped!

“I don’t know what I was expecting from the pervert ghost movie” 😂

"Some ghosts should be busted"...

It took me years to find this film. I don't remember the 1st time I saw it, but it was aweekend party staple. Well, this and Night Patrol.

"Steven Seagal-runs" and "swallows Madelain's face" were funny AF

This, Low Budget Film Was Broadcasted Repedly on U.S.A. Up All Night & T.B.S. Friday Nights.

You're appearing on my feed again.

Billy really putting a new spin on the phrase "Ghosted."

"You guys sure like making macaroni-salad" -Oh man, I'm dying here, nice.

Thanks for taking me on a tour of this one - always saw the video cover but never saw the movie. Definitely more entertaining with you. "That's not how you play bass!" Lol

5:20-- i love your little laugh there, Cecil

I’m really hoping that in the coming centuries some plucky college student will write a detailed and heartfelt explanation of this movie’s deep themes, socio-political importance, and relevance to the modern era.

That outro - Chef's Kiss.

"I never saw anyone brain dead with a hard on" 😂 Great line.

It wasn't that bras hadn't been invented yet, it's the fact that they burned them all in the '60s!😁

It's good to know that movie critics still have no idea what they're doing.

Never heard of this one, now i have to find it and watch this.

Thank you for sticking up for us bass players. We are people too and hate being misrepresented in the entertainment industry.

Guilty pleasure movies are the best kind of movies

Another great video from my favorite RU-vid channel. Keep up the great work Cecil!🎉

Hell yes. Guilty pleasure movie.

A great video Cecil! I always enjoy the details you go into after the movie ends!

Love this movie.Billy and Madeline were a cute couple.

Lt. Col. Frank Burns became a university president. (He was promoted to Lt. Col. when he got sent stateside at the beginning of season 6). He still eats worms :)

i saw this in the theater in downtown San Diego. fun movie.

I love this movie so much, a great childhood memory!

You can't get more 80's than Gleaming Spires. New Wave to the core. "Are You Ready For The Sex Girls" is one of the best music videos ever made. Not coincidentally, I've seen Grimshaw's pool in other sex comedies and Wynorski movies. His house looks familiar, too... I think it was used in "18 Again" - George Burns switcheroo comedy - how do I remember this stuff, but still forget birthdays?

You could literally use this as a college sex comedy prequel to the Netflix high school drama thriller aptly named School Spirits

This is the type of movie I would see on USA up all night on Saturday.

Huzzah, youtube is finally recommending these to me again!

Glad to see you posting so much again brother!!!

Ah yes, another one of those films we saw on UP! All Night and then wore out at the video store.

I was thinking halfway through the video "Did the screenwriter just forget that the main character is dead?!" and then you said the same thing, hahaha.

Thought I recognized Ursula there, it's Marta Kober, the hottie who gets impaled along with her boyfriend in Friday the 13th part 2, surprised you didn't mention it there, Cecil 😂 She's sure fallen on hard times...

That critic only makes me want to rewatch it just to fact check

Cecil, you make movies like this actually funny. Kudos to you buddy. 🤘😎🤘

The Discord watches are the best! ❤ as always amazing video.

I'm subscribed to several movie review youtubers, but *YOU* are the best : )

I remember getting quite a few chuckles out of this movie.

Fantastic video as always

OH MY GOD YOU CUT OUT THE BEST JOKE!!! " Scrub Nurse: I never saw anyone brain dead with a hard on. " " E.R. Nurse: I guess you never met my boyfriend. "

I remember seeing this in all the video shops in the 80s and even as a youngster myself thinking it looked cheesy and awful. Took 40 years but seems I was right :)

I remember this movie from when I was a kid, especially the stinger in the credits and the ghost dude going back to grab the condom out of his own hand.

Absolutely goated RU-vidr

YES... Goodbad serie is Back.

jezzus boss. that cookie reference was back in the days of albinob lack sheep, back when youtube was a private owned thing! holy carp

4:22 I did some digging, Cecil. And these are not candy bars (I thought so as well), these are basically a bag of nuts that come in a variety of flavors, and shockingly enough, they're still around.

Another awesome video

Fun stuff, might check it out! 😂

To be fair that critic basically gave a good and bad list for the movie, The Good: Boobs, the bad: everything else.

I suppose there's a market for this, but it isn't me. Now if you'll excuse me I'll be watching Shock Em Dead for the thousandth time while sipping boxed wine

I remember this one, from back at the day...

I miss these silly sex comedies because a lot of them were actually quite fun.

Great video, Cecil!!!

A BONER-INFUSED HAZE! 😆😅🤣😂☠ There are _so many_ great quips in this review I don't even know what to say other than: GOOD SHOW!

Amazing 80s girl movie! Great fun!

Best part of Monday.

Keep up the great work!

omg please do Invisible Maniac sometime Cecil haha

Thanks again!

I'd definitely recomend gleaming spires great band the 2 main dudes meet while playing with sparks!

37???!!! In a row???!!!

Good to see a new vid!

You're worth more than a generic comment for the algorithm. Keep up the great work!

I miss the Wild West of film content. It might be coming back: we’re literally re-releasing concert videos in theaters…

Great video

Argh! I got most of the way through this video before remembering I'm half way through the movie and probably should have finished that first..

enjoyed this one

The Terrible Mr Grimshaw??? Oh my god!!

Man..."Cocain is a hell of a drug".

I wanna know what the flyer on the wall at 5:52 is advertising. It looks like Taiwan with a piano keyboard.

05:09 I’m pretty sure shirtless guy is in Savage Streets; he plays the jock who’s always hitting on Brenda (Linda Blair). I saw School Spirit awhile back, I liked it!
