Rate My (Movie) Professors

The Nutty Professor
Universal

You've probably heard of RateMyProfessors.com, the site that lets college students evaluate teachers in a variety of categories, including hotness (let's face it, we all had/have that one professor we crushed on).

GALLERY: Guys Holding Their Balls (in Movies)

Guys really love their balls. They love holding them, whacking them and chasing them with glee. And sometimes, men just like to gaze at their balls fondly. Yes, it's hard to get between a dude and a ball if his mind's set on playing with it.

So to keep you well-rounded on the topic, here's some great moments between man and man's true best friend.

The chronicle of the Nazi quest to uncover the lost Ark of the Covenant and Professor Indiana Jones' attempt to beat them to the punch took 1940s Saturday matinee adventure tropes and gave them a much needed shot of adrenaline, or whatever people took in the '80s. Get More »

To fully understand why hundreds of thousand of people are marching in the streets, pushing for a regime change that they hope will facilitate the country's increased prosperity, involves lots of mutating entanglements and historical context.

Fear not, though. A Twitter user named Furrygirl, realizing that everything is better explained through film, gives us the highly politicized but fairly accurate portrayal of how we got here. And you get to see Toht's face melt. Win win. Get More »
