FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH is the best comical high school movie I've ever seen along with the fact that this DVD has some very interesting bonus features on it as well like showing scenes of "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" where they played a popular hit song in the 1980's like "She's Gonna Be Somebody's Baby Tonight" by Jackson Browne, "We Got The Beat" by The Go Go's, etc.
In addition to some of the interesting bonus features on this DVD, it showed the cast & crew of "Fast Times" like Sean Penn(Jeffrey Spiccolli), Judge Reinhold(Brad Hamilton), Phoebe Cates(Linda), Jennifer Jason-Leigh(Stacey), Bobby Romanus(Mike Damone), Brian Backer(Mark Ratner)etc.; talking about their experience with doing the movie and looking back on it when it was released back in the Summer of 1982.
This movie also had Nick Cage, Eric Stoltz, Tony Edwards, Forest Whittaker in it before they all became stars and got bigger roles with their acting careers.
"Fast Times At Ridgemont High" also shows you the typical bad habits, bad inluences, peer pressures, raunchy fantasies, growing pains, teens humpin around, T&A, etc. that most high school students experience at a typical high school in their teen years by showing lots of nudity and sex, especially when Stacey(Jennifer Jason-Leigh)gets laid twice and lies about her age when she does hubba hubba for the first time showing everything, but her coochie.
This movie also takes me all the way back to memory lane when Ronald Reagan was the president and we had all those budget cuts going on from the recession we had back in 1981-1982, especially when Mike Damone(Bobby Romanus) tells his buddy over the phone that he knows "Times Are Tight" right now, which just so happened to be true in real life when this movie was made and when it was released in the theatres, because of the economy being so bad back then at the time in real life.
