Cinemix Film Series: That Whole "Yale Thing"

Celebrating nearly a hundred years of Yale in cinema, That Whole “Yale Thing” (by the Yale Film Archive’s Brian Meacham) collects Yale references, images, and songs from more than 200 feature films, from the silent era to the latest Netflix rom-com. Watch as Warren Beatty struggles to decide whether to attend Yale, Beanie Feldstein humblebrags about “next year, when I’m in New Haven,” Humphrey Bogart belts out “Boola Boola,” and countless bit players mention the time they were on the Yale boxing team. A must-see movie montage for Yalies and cinephiles alike!

The “Cinemix” series features stand-alone screenings of standout films, presented by the Yale Film Archive and our colleagues from across campus and beyond.

Production Credits: Brian Meacham, 2025, digital video, 71 mins
