Number #2 in my list of teen movies

You can't call yourself a teenager if you haven't see Fast Times at Ridgemont High . The film is required viewing for teens of the eighties, nineties, seventies or any time period. Cameron Crowe made a film that teens can relate that still stands the test of time. I would love to go to Ridgemont and hang out with Spocolit, Brad Hamltion & Mike Damone. I would also love to get Linda Barret and Stacy Hamltion in the sack. For their nude scenes the film gets a 10.

Very pleased with this order!

Good, classic movie!

Fast Times has always been a classic comedy. Who could ever forget the name Jeff Spiccoli?? Good movie to see if you haven't already, but don't watch it with your younger children.

the movie about nothing says a lot

"Fast Times at Ridgemont High" is the quintessential teen/'80s movie. And it's one of those movies that I can watch over and over again and never get tired of because it's so funny.

It's hard to say who my favorite person was in the film because everyone was likeable in their own way. I probably like Jennifer Jason Leigh the best as Stacy because there was a certain charm and innocence to her that none of the other characters really had. Judge Reinhold gave an exceptional performance as Stacy's older brother, Brad. He was just such an '80s type of guy, wouldn't you say? The scene with him in the bathroom when Linda (Phoebe Cates) caught him was just too much. I don't think I ever laughed so hard. Robert Romanus as Mike Damone was so hot. He totally reminded me of Ricky from "Just One of the Guys".

My favorite part was when Stacy went and got the abortion because you just don't see that in movies, especially teen movies. It is very rare to see consequences of irresponsible behavior depicted in a movie of this genre and I do not know of any other teenage movie that actually has a character get an abortion besides this. Sure they always talk about it, but no one ever has the balls to get one. This was certainly unique in that regard.

Sean Penn gave an excellent performance as Mr. Jeff Spicoli, the school's resident loser. Although he's featured on the cover of the DVD the movie is hardly about him and he receives very little screen time, compared to the others. But over time Spicoli has become so identified with this movie since his brief scenes were all very memorable (I especially like the part when he tumbles out of the van).

The movie has some occasional cussing and nudity but if you're not a total prude then you certainly won't be offended. If you enjoyed this movie or think you may like it (chances are you will) then I recommend getting the DVD because the bonuses are excellent and the picture quality is stunning. But if you don't have the money (and heaven knows I'm tightening my pocketbook right now) don't worry because it comes on HBO all the time (usually in the early mornings or late at night).

"Fast Times at Ridgemont High" is totally a movie about nothing. There really isn't a basic plot or story and the movie all-of-a-sudden ends without much excitement or fare. But that's why it's so perfect because it's the type of movie you can watch and not have to worry about thinking because it won't make you think about anything. You will just laugh. There're so many teen movies in the '00s that try to be special and try to send a message but none of them are as clever or as funny as "Fast Times" will always be.
