FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH

(1982, 92 mins, Universal, Directed by Amy Heckerling)

A raunchy and painfully-funny look at Southern California high school students by director Amy Heckerling (“Clueless”). Writer Cameron Crowe (“Almost Famous”) adapts his own semi-autobiographical book. A strange launching pad for three future Academy Award-winning Best Actors Forest Whitaker, Nicolas Cage, and Sean Penn (in a career-making turn as pothead surfer, Jeff Spicoli). Also starring Jennifer Jason Leigh in her first major role, as a vulnerable teenager anxious about losing her virginity. A truly iconic film from the hilarious rogues’ gallery of regular guys (Judge Reinhold), teen-queens (Phoebe Cates), hustlers (Robert Romanus) and stoners. Also featuring Eric Stolz, Anthony Edwards, the Sherman Oaks Galleria, Santa Monica Place and the immortal Ray Walston as Mr. Hand. Classic rock 'n' roll soundtrack featuring Tom Petty, Led Zeppelin, Jackson Browne, Don Henley, Oingo Boingo, The Go-Gos, Poco, Stevie Nicks, Joe Walsh, The Cars and many more.
