Fast Times At Ridgemont High [VHS]

In today's "woke" times some of the humour and nudity might be frowned upon. However, this movie basically tells the story of some high school kids growing up in suburban America in the early 80s. It's well cast and some of the actors went on to big things. Part of the story deals with teenage pregnancy and abortion (which seems almost casual in this script). The soundtrack music is excellent. Kids watching it might be more careful to use contraception afterwards!

The movie was great - far more subtle than I expected. However, the subtitles were out of sync by more than a minute - which made it very distracting and difficult for partner who is hard of hearing, to follow in places.The lyrics from the song playing over the title sequence were still being displayed over the first scene of the movie and then the dialogue for that showed up during the next scene. A shame really as it did detract from our enjoyment of the film.

a great comedy film, pheobe cates looks gorgeous in it it looks great on blu ray and is a great price.

A classic retro movie

Very funny movie, the best!!!

Eine amüsante Komödie aus dem Jahre 1982 in wunderschönen Farben. Jetzt auf Blu Ray. Der ganze Cast ist wirklich gut ausgesucht. Meine Empfehlung ☀️☀️

Contrairement à ce qui est indiqué sure le site d'Amazon, le Bluray avec les referencesStudio ‏ : ‎ FabulousASIN ‏ : ‎ B071Z7MBSYne contient que des sous titres Anglais pour sourds et mal entendants. (cfr scan de la pochette qui elle est correcte).J'ai quand meme essayé de voir le contenu via un PC mais malheureusement il ne sont pas "cachés"...En mode lectrure sur mon DVD de salon, il n'y a aussi qu'une seule piste sous-titre Anglaise disponnible à la volée; de meme que dans le menu. Meme si ça ne m'intéresse pas , je signale quand meme qu'il n'y a pas de VF non plus. Donc vous n'aurrez qu'une VO sous titree anglais pour malentendants.P.S.: Je n'ai pas encore vu le film donc je mets 3 étoiles par défaut.

The movie is a lot of fun to watch. Any partwith Sean Penn playing Jeff Spicoli is funny and perfectly playedon his part. With jargon, attitude, style, and slang included. Also Ray Walston as Mr. Hand,the history teacher, is played very well also. The interaction of both charactersin the movie is hilarious. It is worth seeing just for these parts.I felt the movie also portrayed high school accurately. Although I did notattend those years, but attended at a much later date, it appeared accurate.The lack of understanding or caring about History in regard to the students in class when Mr. Hand,the history professor is talking, is 100 percent on the mark. Nobody ever cared about history.This lack of caring is shown in the up and coming leaders and those in charge today. Youcan see the slow decay of knowledge, which started around this time. Although I bring this up asa side note, since that isn't what the movie is about. It just shows an accurate portrayal of high schoolstudents. If not today, then during that time period of the early 1980s. Jennifer Jason Leigh plays Stacy in the movie.I don't know if this movie could havebeen made today with all the moral standards people look at in movies today, in regard to teens portrayed in this movie, especiallythe parts when Stacy meets the stereo salesman. A throwaway character you don't really feel much sympathy or care muchabout. A guy that acts too smooth and seems very much into himself only. What happens after with Stacy and him, I won't get into, but it brings up a lot of serious questionsin an otherwise funny movie. Recent movies regarding teens are raunchy, but what happens in particular with thestereo salesman left me a little bothered. Yes, there is other serious moments with Stacy, which I won't get into. She seemsmore of a troubled teen with absolutely clueless parents. The mother is shown briefly saying goodnight in one scene and is nevershown again. She has to turn for help later with an older brother, who isn't much help during the first half of the movie and seems to rely moreon her peers for advice.There are other famous characters, or soon to be famous characters, with their first parts in this particular movie. Whether for someit was their first movie or had a cameo in other movies beforehand, you can research.I can't recommend this as a family movie since there are some uncomfortable scenes. The rating is still relevant today. No matter howlong ago this was made, there are some serious scenes, and fun scenes as well, with nudity. Occasional language is also included.Overall, as I mentioned, the scenes with Sean Penn are excellent. I think there should have been more with himand Ray Walston, but of course at the time this was made, who knew they both would be the main attraction for this movie, in my own opinion andprobably many others. Then again, maybe they both made the right number of appearances, without overdoing it.The Jeff Spicoli character also seems to be featured more prominently on the cover than in past releases, as can be seen with some research on the internet,which shows the staying power of the character.The movie makes me want to wish I had actually gone to high school in the early 1980s but then again,maybe it wouldn't have made any difference. There was no sequel to this movie, so don't bother looking for it. As usual, you findyourself watching a whole school year go by in less than a couple hours. Maybe the only difference is that the movie starts in the mall before school starts and itends after school has ended for the year. The one thing I noticed is how fast the style of clothing changed. Since this was filmed in the very early 1980s or filmed in 1981 or 1982, you don't see too much of the late 1970s style of clothes. Going to high school in a later time, during my years, you would hardly notice the style changes over the course of not just one year, but 4 years. In fact some of the clothes you find in this movie, you could possibly wear today. It makes you wonder if we are stuck in a period of repetitive blandness, but maybe I'm the only one thinking that. It seems like creativity went awayduring this time. Sure you find exceptions to the rule, but I'm just saying you don't see you're average person nowadays sticking out with his own style too much.For a good laugh by yourself or with close friends, I recommend this movie. The seriousness in some parts just brings you closerand makes you relate and feel for the characters in the movie. If you know anyone just a bit squeamish, I recommend asking beforejust watching it with them, if you're not the only one watching the movie.

Todo fenomenal
