MSU in Hollywood
As i watch movies and television, i see several colleges being represented in tv shows and movies.
Besides Home Improvement, when tim allan sports an msu sweatshirt, can you guys remember any movies Michigan State has been represented?

When Harry Met Sally. Of course, that was an equal reference to Northwestern.

This has been done a few times in the past and I'm sure some search nazi will crucify you for asking this but.....off the top of my head.
In Evil Dead I think they're all MSU students
One Hour Photo there is an MSU game on a TV
American Pie mentions it
All I can remember for now.

This movie was from like 1956 or thereabouts and Jim Hutton and some others were MSU students in Florida during spring break.
EDIT: 1960

It's not necessarily good representation, but on Dr.Drew's new TV show celebrity rehab Daniel Baldwin wears an State basketball shirt in a few episodes.

sam raimi (directed all the spider man's) and james caan (las vegas) are probably our most famous alumni right?

Not Hollywood since it's SNL but MSU has been represented in a few skits throughout the years.

That is correct, just watched that movie a few weeks ago.
Also, in the movie "The Replacements", Jon Favreau's character was a walk-on at Michigan State.

There's a Michigan State pennant in Ernest Green's room in the movie "The Ernest Green Story."
For those of you that aren't familiar with Ernest Green, he was part of the nine black students that we're chosen to integrate into an all-white high school in Little Rock. Michigan State offered him a full-ride academic scholarship, and the movie mentions this.
I heard that Hannah personally financed Green's education, but didn't let anyone know. They found out by going through his files after Hannah's death.

They took online classes through the comm department. I don't really consider them alumni...but I guess they technically were Spartans for a semester.

In the movie "Heat", a guy is watching a MSU hockey game, then gets popped.
As mentioned above, Evil Dead and CA. I believe in Evil Dead 2, the girl is wearing a MSU sweatshirt again.
MSU has been in porn too. I saw some porn where the guy had a MSU sweatshirt on, before he banged some chick.
Also, SNL has had quite a few MSU references. The two I can remember are one set in an MSU dorm. I believe it was the young Hannibal Lecter and another one was some goth show where the kid's older bro comes home from MSU.
