Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1981)
At some point in my film-watching life I went through a brief phase of
watching movies just because it looked like someone might have sex in
it. This is one of those. Quickly, I became absorbed into the world of
Ridgemont, with its varied characters and (somewhat tangible) story.
The character Spicoli became a hero, an idol of sorts, to the laconic
attitudes which I could relate to. His dozy eyed glances at anyone
seemed to indicate they weren't there, and he could bisect them with
ease. The film succeeds in become less a sex comedy, more of a comedy.
