12. Fast Times At Ridgemont High
Oftentimes, older films don’t have the same kind of appeal for younger viewers, since it can seem like the themes and plots couldn’t be as shock provoking as the films released in recent years. While the 1977Star Wars film may have blown away audiences back in that time, new generation fans can look back on the graphics and characters with an almost laughable disbelief. Yet, there is something to be said for the nostalgia factor in many of the hits from the 80s. Films like The Breakfast Club and Less Than Zero may have been released in the 80s but that doesn’t mean the theme and shock factor doesn’t still hold true for today’s standards. Released in 1982, Fast times at Ridgemont High was a coming of age film that starred some of today’s biggest stars, including Sean Penn and Forest Whitaker. The scene involving Phoebe Cates coming out of the pool was more than just hot by 80’s standards, but still holds onto its sex appeal for today’s generation. From the red bikini to the slow motion camera work, things couldn’t get any sexier (that is, until she took her top off).
