Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)

"Fast Times at Ridgemont High" did everything an '80s high school movie was supposed to do. It did it first, and it did it best. The cast of young actors grew up to be some of the biggest names in Hollywood, Cameron Crowe went on to write "Jerry McGuire" and "Almost Famous," and director Amy Heckerling changed America's view of teens again when she created "Clueless."

Find out how "Fast Times" taught Big D about women's struggles; why Ash's mom calls it "the abortion movie," and why Gene thinks shopping malls will make a comeback.

Also ... the bikini scene ... yeah, it still holds up.
