Where to Watch Fast Times at Ridgemont High
- PaulOctober 31, 2025Really wasn’t the film I was expecting it to be. I thought it would be a run of the mill 80s coming of age affair, but it was actually a lot better. I only wish I had watched this movie earlier. I was a kid in the 80s and only got round to watching this at the ripe old age of 46!
- Mister ArnMay 15, 2025"Fast Times at Ridgemont High" vividly portrays high school life in the early '80s, capturing the diverse cliques and stereotypes among students and adults. This expertly crafted journey into the past stands as a genuine classic. Moreover, its soundtrack perfectly complements the film, enhancing the overall experience.
- Wes CandelaSeptember 12, 2025I’ve been watching this movie for 30 years. I probably appreciate it more now in 2025 than I have since the late 80s when I first saw it. Sean Penn’s performance is so monumental, Jennifer Jason Lee I don’t believe her father had died yet tragically on the set of the twilight zone movie It’s such a fresh look at high school in 1981 in southern California And there are so many great parts, Judge Reinhold, Phoebe Gates, Rick Romanos The Cameron Crowe written Amy Heckerling directed film is one of the first legitimate profiles of a teenage life in the 1980s which… If you know anything about movies… Lead to the breakfast club three years later and probably clueless 15 years after. It kind of all started here, And skipping through scenes to watch Ray Winston and Sean Penn act together as Mr. hand and Jeff Spicolli Yeah, I have a love for this movie that will never die. “ hello” “ yes” “ I’m registered for this class” “ what class?” “ This us history I see the globe right there” “ oh” “ may I come in?” “ so what Jefferson was saying was we left this England place because it was bogus, so if we don’t get some rules here, pronto… We’ll just be bogus too.” “Aloha Mr. hand!”
