There’s something about looking back at school and college through movies that just hits differently. Whether it’s the chaos of group projects, awkward first love, or the morning assemblies we swore we hated, Egyptian films somehow managed to document it all. If you’re feeling a little sentimental, here’s your cinematic time machine.
Se’eedy Fil Gamaa Al Amrekeya – Figuring College Out
Day one of college, and you think you’re ready in a bright yellow suit—until you’re not. This movie captures that fish-out-of-water energy: trying to fit in, fumbling the lingo, and getting dragged into drama you didn’t sign up for.
El Thalatha Yashtaghalonaha – College Love Fantasies
This one’s for the phase where you thought falling in love at college would be dreamy. Instead, you end up dating the bare minimum and romanticizing your professor. You were not the problem. Probably.
EUC – Grade Day Drama
You swore grades didn’t define you… until the results dropped. And what do you do when they’re too bad to show your parents? Obviously, start a fake college. This movie takes “my dad is gonna kill me” to a whole new level. Even though it was stressful, we weirdly miss when that was our biggest problem.
El Nazer – The Morning Line We Lowkey Miss
You’re standing half-asleep in uniform while someone gives a speech no one’s listening to. Back then, it felt like punishment. Now? Even that little slice of structure feels nostalgic in a weirdly comforting way.
Samir w Shahir w Bahir – Group Project Survival
The unmatched pain of carrying a group project with partners who made everything harder. You argue, suffer, and somehow still make it through—sometimes even becoming friends after the shared trauma.
El Basha Telmeez – College Trip Core Memory
Nothing says bonding like 40 people shoved on a bus to the beach. Matching outfits, forced talent shows, and a truth-or-dare game that goes a little too far. This movie is that vibe in film form.
Hob El Banat – The Good Kind of College Love
For once, a movie about college love that wasn’t that toxic. This film reminds us of the fleeting moments that actually felt right—when campus crushes turned into something real, even if it didn’t last forever.
When Drama Was Just Midterms
The stakes were low, but the emotions were high. These films didn’t just entertain—they captured a whole era of our lives. We might’ve cringed through some of it, but honestly? We’d relive it again in a heartbeat.
