Ok, we know who William Atherton is, we know who Robert Prescott is. We don't have a movie with them in common-that we are aware of. (2 movies for WA, 3 for RP).
Yeah, that would have given it away. I was confusing Robert Preston with Robert Prescott. Once I realized that, and saw Atherton and Kilmer, my first guess would have been "Real Genius." (Atherton was in that and "Ghostbusters." For a short moment, he was the go-to man if Hollywood wanted someone educated and incidental who should be punched.)
*looks it up* Ok, Jon Gries was Lazlo Hollyfeld (the genius from a decade ago), Gabriel Jarret was Mitch Taylor (the new kid, 'Mighty Mouse"), Michelle Meyrink was Jordan Cochran (the hyperkinetic chick who makes stuff), Robert Prescott was KENT (the schmuck-student who sucked up to Prof Hathaway), Patti DÁrbanville was Shelly Nugil (she REALLY liked geeks), Val Atherton was Dr Hathaway (the actual villain that Kent drew attention away from) and Kilmer played Chris Knight, the graduating genius who learned to balance his life and wanted to teach Mitch how before Mitch turned into Lazlo Hollyfeld.)
Amazing how well I remember the movie, but can't name virtually the entire cast.

This one sure dropped off the map!
WW, care to give a couple more actors (assuming YOU remember what movie this is!)?

Could this be the original "Ocean's Eleven"?

Is this "Animal House" ?

It is, indeed. I suspect that John Belushi would have given it away immediately, maybe even John Vernon.

Not enough, yet. Though that's to be expected, of course.
