Amazon.com essential video
Before he became an overrated filmmaker, Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire) was a reporter for Rolling Stone who was so youthful looking that he could go undercover for a year at a California high school and write a book about it. He wrote the script for this film, based on that book, and it launched the careers of several young actors, including Jennifer Jason Leigh, Judge Reinhold, Phoebe Cates, and, above all, Sean Penn. The story line is episodic, dealing with the lives of iconic teen types: one of the school's cool kids, a nerd, a teen queen, and, most enjoyably, the class stoner (Penn), who finds himself at odds with a strict history teacher (a wonderfully spiky Ray Walston). This is not a great movie but very entertaining and, for a certain age group, a seminal movie experience. --Marshall Fine

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.

Very pleased with this order!
My son in Iraq asked for this movie (Fast Times at Ridgemont High). I was able to find this movie at a great price and with great delivery. He has already gotten it over there! BTW, a really funny movie.Thanks!

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.

An American Teen Classic
Yes, I am one of those 30 something individuals that think this movie is awesome. Other movies of this genre are 16 candles, The Breakfast club, Pretty in Pink etc.. This is a highly recommended movie that I don't will disappoint you. An original 80's classic.

School
Has some wild and crazy times for everyone!!With Mr.Hand, eating pizza in class, Getting high on paper,.
