Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Movie Information
In Brief: Fast Times at Ridgemont High should be something of a known quantity to audiences at this point, if only because it was so massively influential — though not universally well-received — on its initial run. Arguably the quintessential '80s high school movie, the impact of its unflinching look at suburban adolescence has not diminished with time. Also notable for Sean Penn's turn as stoner Spicoli, it is almost certainly best remembered for the Phoebe Cates red bikini scene that defined the sexual awakening of a generation.
