I have to return some videotapes.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High is awesome. Holden, I love the scene you selected for your pic. That scene in particular when the Cars' song Moving in Stereo comes on is freakin' perfect. I also love the fact that Nicolas Cage has a couple of short appearances, not to mention how far Sean Penn and Forrest Whitaker have come in their careers. Good pick....definitely going to watch this one over again

Well it's not really a "teen movie" I guess cause it has to do with college, but "Revenge of the Nerds" anyone?
