just saw Fast Times at Ridgemont High

hadn't seen the movie in a while. The biggest thing I noticed is that Spicoli is really only a side character and the crux of the movie is about the inner circle of Brad and Stacy Hamilton. Although the movie is seen as one of the best 80s movies - does anyone here sort of notice a residual 70s feel to it? When I think of the 80s, I think of crack cocaine, and music like guns-n-roses or bon-jovi. None of that stuff seems to have fully settled in and they didn't even mention mtv during the movie.

Spicoli is a great side character though!  Hey bud, lets party!  Did you seen Nick Cage?  Great movie for what it is.  One of the most famous topless scenes in movie history.

I actually was surprised when I saw it the second time. I had forgotten that she didn't actually take her top off but it was a fantasy by Brad - only to have her come back into the house and catch him whacking off.

I can't remember his line....."do people even knock anymore?"  something like that.
