Certainly has one of the best soundtracks of all time.

Better soundtrack then movie. I lived the 70's and remember little of the stuff from this movie. Sure it has its moments and overall as good but nothing like the greatest of all time. Oh and Fastimes is funnier and Phoebe Cates.

I like Fast Times, but the whole abortion thing really depresses me.

Well I lived my high school years in the 90s (as a matter of a fact, this movie came out my senior year) and a lot of what went on in this movie was going on at my high school. Granted, we weren't going around beating freshmen with paddles or anything like that. But the pot smoking, beer drinking, and keggers/parties on the weekends were definitely part of my junior and senior years in high school.

Same here.
I grew up with Fast Times. Love it. Hilarious movie. But...it definitely had some serious poignant moments.
Dazed is much better all the way through.
There are things that are spot on in that movie straight from the 70's. No movie captured the decade as well as they did.

Probably because it's not really that great of a flick.

I think Dazed & Confused is one of the most accurate movies about high school. Sometimes you just drive around looking for a party and just end up in a field.

Yeah uh .. Inconvenient for you

Fast Times blows. Dazed and Confused for life.

Some of you guys wouldn't know a great movie if it dick slapped you in the face

exactly
Spicoli & the Phoebe Cates scene were the only worthwhile things about Fast Times. That beta movie theater worker and his guido douche friend were unbearable, plus the abortion thing seemed way too dark for that movie.

I liked Forest Whitaker
But overall it was a slow, not funny, boring movie. Dont get why it got so popular.

I was in the Junior class between Pink's Senior class and Mitch Kramer's Freshman class. No other movie captures the time and place (Southern high schools) so perfectly.
The first time that I saw Wooderson walk into the Emporium with Bob Dylan blasting... I've never been taken back in time so well by a film.
The main historical difference was that the schools in my town had done away with Freshman hazing a few years before I got to High School.

First of it's kind. I don't think there were any highschool high-jinx movies before FTRH.

It must be even more awesome for you then
That's the beauty of it to me though, even though I have no connection to that atmosphere, there's still themes about High School n the movie that I can relate too even though I went to HS 30 years after the movie is set

It's just a great movie. The nostalgia is a bonus for me. I'm sure kids that were in high school in '93 have an extra love for it since they were the same age as the characters in the movie.
My kids love it and they were babies in '93.
It's like when Animal House came out in '78. It hit home with me because it was my first semester in a fraternity. But it also hit home with the guys that were in college in '62. But everyone else in the country had their reasons for loving it.

I was born in 93, not in HS

Well, no shame in having Hanna Montana as the pop culture representation of your generation.

Love that movie, but the long haired kid can't act for crap.
As for Fast Times - decent movie, but I related far more to Dazed and Confused, especially since D&C was set in small town Texas and Fast Times was set in Southern California.
