And since I’ve been reminded: Fast Times at Ridgemont High is not a good movie.
I’m curious: what are some other '80s “classics” you dislike?
Aliens, Altered States, An American Tail, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Flash Gordon, and Revenge of the Nerds have all fanned my hatred or indifference. I’d also include Pretty in Pink, but I wasn’t able to finish that one, so it doesn’t feel fair to include it.
Yeah. I get what you’re going at. '80s cheese is not on my diet.
I also completely understand why you don’t really like teen comedies of the era. I find '80s teen-related stuff annoying as shit. Not to mention lowbrow “humour”.
I don’t dislike them as a whole, though. I quite like John Hughes as a filmmaker, actually.
And I got Pretty in Pink mixed up with Sixteen Candles. Pretty in Pink wasn’t bad at all.
Yeah, lots of '80s teen-oriented movies can be good, such as Back to the Future.
I must have confused that with the more specific '80s sex comedies, with brows so low you can’t even see the eyes.
