Oxford Blues is a 1984 film written and directed by Robert Boris and featured Rob Lowe, Ally Sheedy, Amanda Pays, Julian Sands and Bruce Payne, with a small part by Cary Elwes.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Oxford Blues is the story of Nick De Angleo (Lowe) who is working in a Las Vegas casino to earn enough money to pursue the woman of his dreams — Lady Victoria Wingate (Pays) — to Oxford where, he believes, the only way to win her is to get into Oxford University and join the rowing team. After spending the night with a beautiful woman, he gets enough money to make the trip across the pond and arrives at Oxford with his small sporty car — which he quickly crashes into a too small gate in a very old wall. And so begin the troubles of an American in Britain.

To help him along, the coxswain of the rowing team that De Angelo joins is also an American, Rona (Sheedy). De Angelo quickly finds Lady Victoria but also finds that she is deeply involved with another Oxford rower Colin Gilchrist Fisher (Sands).

Lowe comes to learn not only the value of friendship, and love, but also the importance of keeping promises to teammates and to oneself as well as the importance of thinking beyond oneself.
