	HD DVD Review: Fast Times at Ridgemont High \| High-Def Digest
		No, nothing that happens in 'Fast Times' is, in hindsight, all that dramatic, but then that's the beauty of high school -- at the time a pimple seems of monumental importance.
		All 'Fast Times' does is observe the mundane realities of being a teenager with great sensitivity and humor, which is why it remains so universal and resonant.
		As you 'Fast Times' scholars know, Crowe was originally hired to write an article on the state of the American high schooler, circa 1980, for Rolling Stone magazine.

	Fast Times at Ridgemont High - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fast Times at Ridgemont High is a 1982 American teen film directed by Amy Heckerling and written by Cameron Crowe (who wrote both the screenplay and a book of the same name which inspired the movie).
		Fast Times was filmed in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles (although it is never explicitly mentioned as such in the film), and many people identify the movie with that area and the teen culture that existed there, or was perceived to exist there, in the early 1980s.
		Fast Times is one of two Cameron Crowe films that feature a song by Led Zeppelin; the other is Almost Famous.

	Fast Times at Ridgemont High
		This film, which meticulously catalogues the behavior of high school students circa 1980, was assembled by and starred unknowns, nearly all of whom went on to have substantial careers.
		She is still working, and is still considered competent by the industry, but she never lived up to the high promise she demonstrated with Fast Times when she was only 28, although she had another solid success with Clueless in 1995.
		Fast Times at Ridgemont High is one of the absolute classic teen films in the vein of Animal House, American Graffiti, American Pie, etc. It features Sean Penn's most recognizable character, and arguably his best performance.

		After Fast Times, he starred in the critically acclaimed Racing with the Moon and put in an awe-inspiring performance in The Falcon and the Snowman before making the biggest splash of all with his 1985 wedding to singer Madonna.

		Fast Times at Ridgemont High was the role that got him noticed, however, and Judge was soon acting in a series of films that included the 1994 hit Gremlins.

	DVDFILE.COM: Fast Times at Ridgemont High review
		Easily the defining teen movie of the early 80's, if not the entire decade, Fast Times At Ridgemont High was not only a commercial and critical success in 1982, but heralded the arrival of a host of major talents both behind and in front of the camera.
		Fast Times was probably the first example of a presold soundtrack released weeks before the film even opened, featuring then-hot bands including The Cars, Stevie Nicks, Billy Squire, The Go-Go's, Oingo Boingo and many more.
		With Fast Times, documentarian JM Kenney, who wrote, produced and directed the documentary, has done a very good job coaxing memories out of the cast, despite the fact that there didn't seem to be too much behind-the-scenes footage to intersperse amid the interviews.

		Even though I am all grown-up now and look back at that time in my life with a mixture of romantic nostalgia and a cringing dread, I was curious enough to attend a one-night showing of Fast Times at Ridgemont High at Radio City Music Hall.
		Her look and image--sleek, cool, fresh, and knowing--was a construction meant to fulfill some sort of promise of adulthood, of older men, of sexual fantasy, but ultimately was only a grand façade meant to mask her own feelings of fear and insecurity about growing up.
		Brad Hamilton (Judge Reinhold) sought the allure of a sleek ride and hurried towards adult responsibility, trying to find the man behind the fast-food counter, until he realized that being the man did not mean donning a pirate's attire in a fish-fry restaurant, but meant supporting his sister when she needed it most.

	Phoebe Cates - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		She achieved icon status in the early 1980s for her role in the teen comedy Fast Times at Ridgemont High, in which she stripped off her bikini top in a slow-motion fantasy sequence.
		The film was an ensemble comedy written and directed by Scottish actor Alan Cumming and Cates' real-life best friend of the past 25 years, Fast Times at Ridgemont High co-star Jennifer Jason Leigh, and in it Cates played, fittingly enough, a Hollywood actress who has retired from acting to be a full-time mother.
		The song contains lyrics such as "I'm looking for a fast time, Watching out for bright lights, Send me off to private school, When I'm with you it's paradise." This is a play on words containing four of her movie titles.

		Since he was at that magic age of 22 at the time, legally an adult but not too far removed from high school, he had a great perspective of those around him.
		Since Crowe spent some of his high school years touring with rock bands for Rolling Stone, perhaps he was trying to get back some of the high school experiences he missed.

		Author Cameron Crowe based Fast Times at Ridgemont High on his real-life observations when he returned to high school at the age of 22.
		The resulting movie about life in a California High School was probably single-handedly responsible for popularising the expression "Totally awesome" and the term "Dude".
		Spicoli may have been bordering on illiterate, but he was so cool that he had pizza delivered to him in class - This apparently spawned an epidemic of US high school kids trying to emulate their hero (or perhaps that was wishful thinking on the part of Domino's).

	Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982): Reviews
		Amy Heckerling's chronicle of a year in life of a group of teenagers at a Southern Calfornia high school in the 1970s is based on Cameron Crowe's undercover experiences and has clearly set the bar for all teen comedies to shoot for.
		Perfectly capturing the zeitgeist of American high school life in the '80s, complete with a Rubik's cube reference, the funny and occasionally harsh Fast Times, with all due apologies to John Hughes and Mickey Rooney, may be the greatest teen movie ever made (even though Cates was the only real teen).
		I caught Fast Times again just last year on tv and managed to tape it (for reminiscences sake, if nothing else) I watched it a couple of days later...and what a let down when I realised that this film is....really....only average.

		FAST TIMES also marked the feature debut of director Amy Heckerling, who began her career as a student at NYU’s film school.
		As it did with so many other people associated with the film, FAST TIMES kicked her career into high gear where she subsequently wrote and directed the hit comedies LOOK WHO’S TALKING I and II and CLUELESS, which she successfully adapted for television where it enjoyed a three season run.

		Amy Heckerling's Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982), adapted by Cameron Crowe from his own novel, is the rare movie about high school that gets it right.
		Thanks to Crowe's research--he'd gone back to high school posing as a student in order to write a book on the subject--the students actually look and talk like real people, albeit very funny real people.
		In the DVD commentary, Heckerling states, "I was trying to make sex scary and uncomfortable." She accomplishes that: Not only does Stacy tell Phoebe Cates' character the sex hurt, but soon we see that the high school boys are now afraid of her.

		In "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," screenwriter Cameron Crowe and director Amy Heckerling, both working on their first film, accomplished several interesting things.
		For one, they made what is indubitably a classic of the genre, with both characters (notably Sean Penn as the stoner Jeff Spicoli) and comic set pieces (notably Judge Reinhold's masturbation interruptus scene) becoming the requisite touchstones for a generation.
		"Fast Times at Ridgemont High" is about a lot of things -- sex isn't always hot, sometimes it burns you anyway, life's not fair.

		This movie being a high school movie evolving around teenagers, though made in the 80's, contained all the elements that a horny teenage movie would have – topless women, pot smoking, masturbation, cheating on tests, virginity losing and all that sex talk and quite obviously teen pregnancy!!!
		However they were not extensively used unnecessarily with the intention to make people laugh – they were used at the right time and were very funny.
		This was a great teenager movie – and for people who just love high school movies – this movie should next on their lit.

	Fast Times at Ridgemont High or Whatever happened to my sister Eileen?
		Among other things I discovered that Ridgemont was really Clairmont High in San Diego, that Crowe hadn't gone to their 10th reunion and probably wouldn't go to their 20th, and that (not entirely unexpected) some of the kids portrayed in the movie weren't very happy about it.
		What makes the web exciting are the small sites (The Fast Times site has gotten only about 13,000 visitors in the last year) that cater to a unique audience.
		But putting the history of "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" online is a killer app (for perhaps a dozen people) because it could never be supported in traditional media.
