College years, awkward, chaotic, and full of memories both hilarious and cringeworthy, have long been the perfect backdrop for teen comedies. From first crushes to wild parties, these films capture the messy, unfiltered side of growing up, the kind of stories that make people laugh, wince, and perhaps even remember their own misadventures. Among these, American Pie stands out as a cult classic.

For anyone craving the same raunchy, nostalgic spirit as the 1999 classic, Netflix delivers plenty of films that hit the sweet spot.
