I don't know, man, high school in the late eighties was pretty awesome. There are some movies that make me nostalgic for a time that I wasn't even alive. Inherent Vice and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood make me want to have experienced that time period in southern California. I would also like to see a movie that captures the mid to late eighties accurately, but none of them do. The movie Rockstar, maybe.


The late 80s were a blast. But the music in the early 80s is probably my favorite era and it seems like it would have been fun to be in high school when arcades were at their peak.

We had an arcade/pool room on the strip that everyone used to cruise on. But people mostly just hung out in the parking lot by then.

Same here on movies making you want to live in an era before your time. Being a teen/young adult in Los Angeles in the late 60s/early 70s seems like it would have been amazing.

Los Angeles would have been the absolute bomb for teenage me in the eighties. Partying on Sunset Strip every night? Hell yeah!

When I was in high school I saw:

Ozzy and Randy Rhoads on the Diary of a Madman tour
Rush on the Moving Pictures tour
Van Halen on the Fair Warning tour

I also saw Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, and Jeff Beck in the same concert.

We didn't know how good we had it back then.

So of course Fast Times is my movie.
