Fast Times
Forums:
Fathom Events is showing it in theaters, tomorrow and Tuesday, for the 35th anniversary.
When my son was young I couldn't wait for him to come of age so we could watch the movie together. It has all the ingredients that a teen boy loves. So, I bought the CD, we watched it and he was like, "meh."
A few yeas later I was watching the movie on cable. My oldest daughter watched it and loved it. It's one of her favorite flicks. Go figure!
She and I are going to see it in the theater tomorrow.

Have any of you read the book? They nailed the characters in the movie, exactly like they are in the book.

Cameron Crowe went undercover in a Southern CA high school for a year before writing the book.

Went to one of the Fathom
Went to one of the Fathom screenings yesterday afternoon, it was great seeing it on the big screen..amazing how many times Led Zeppelin appears inscribed on doors, lockers, notebooks, shirts, dialogue..Caught a great Damone line yesterday after Brad comes home from his fast food fish job, and Damone and Rat are in the pool, Damone rhetorically asks "who's his tailor"

It's really big with 50+ year
It's still really big with 50+ year olds because it was somewhat groundbreaking as a movie for those teenagers at the time, but in the context of all of the coming of age comedies available now, it's sort of quaint and doesn't really hold up, imo.
But I understand it's important to the Caddyshack generation.

It must be somewhat big with some younger folks. Case in point - neither Brian K nor his daughter are 50+.

I think that people just a few years younger than me were more the target audience for this one. I was attending University in Montreal when that came out, if I went to the movies there were a couple of repertory cinemas that showed funky old stuff and Rock movies. So if we went out to the movies it was usually some late-night showing of a Bowie tour doc, or 'The Wall' or something odd.
'Fast Times' seemed more like a Middle-Schooler product at the time. Younger friends reported its influence and thought highly of it.
