One of the very first and most prominent coming-of-age sex-driven teen comedies of the 1980's. Fast Times was controversial, provocative and in your face. It also made stars out of Nic Cage, Phoebe Cates, Sean Penn, Judge Reinhold and Jennifer Jason Leigh. It's hilarious. Check it out - it's a classic!

===========

Jackie-O: It's not a gun. It's a camera.
Mrs. Pascal: It's a gun.
Jackie-O: It's a camera that looks like a gun.
Marty: Relax, Mama, it isn't loaded.
Mrs. Pascal: How do you know?
Marty: I checked.
Mrs. Pascal: What's it doing there?
Jackie-O: Being gunlike, gunonic, gunesque.
Mrs. Pascal: Where did it come from?
Jackie-O: God? *
This little-known movie starring Indie Queen Parker Posey, is a hilarious film about a mentally-unstable girl (Posey) who awaits her brother's (Hamilton) visit for Thanksgiving. It all turns rather ugly when he brings a new girlfriend, the younger brother seduces the girlfriend and we find out the brother and sister used to do it. Not your average Hollywood movie
*48. Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) *
[thumb=H]ferris18751_7941996.JPG[/thumb]
Director: John Hughes
Genre: Coming-of-age, teen, comedy
Cast: Matthew Broderick, Alan Ruck, Mia Sara, Jeffrey Jones, Jennifer Grey, Charlie Sheen

*Cool quotes:- *
*Grace (about Ferris): Oh, he's very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads--they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude.
Ferris: Pardon my French, but Cameron is so tight that if you stuck a lump of coal up his ass, in two weeks you'd have a diamond. *
Another 80's teen classic that revolves around Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) who fakes being sick to ditch school, bringing along his best mate and girlfriend along for an action-packed day, trying to avoid parents, principals and one jealous-ass sister. It's very clever, with Ferris constant talkings to the camera.

and we care because?
you don't have to...:p
Re: Talha's Top 50 All-Time Films
Talha has good choice in movies. So people should shut up and check out these recommendations.
Re: Talha's Top 50 All-Time Films
are they in random order? :p
Re: Talha’s Top 50 All-Time Films
*Hey Talha, I better see De Niro, Pacino and Hoffman movies in there somewhere 
*.
Re: Talha's Top 50 All-Time Films
Be patient. He's not even half way through his list. No list would be complete without De niro or al Pacino.
47. American History X (1998)
[thumb=H]amerh18751_7765421.JPG[/thumb]
Director: Tony Kaye
Genre: Drama/Crime/Thriller
Cast: Edward Norton, Edward Furlong, Beverly D'Angelo
Box Office: $6 mil, $4 mil short of the budget
Random fact: The "F" word is used 205 times... Woo!
Cool quotes:-
*Derek Vinyard: One in every three black males is in some phase of the correctional system. Is that a coincidence or do these people have, you know, like a racial commitment to crime?
Derek Vinyard: We're so hung up on this notion that we have some obligation to help the struggling black man, you know. Cut him some slack until he can overcome these historical injustices. It's crap. I mean, Christ, Lincoln freed the slaves, like, what? 130 years ago. How long does it take to get your act together? *
It's a powerful, sickening, blunt film that although is slightly clichéd - gets it's point across - Edward Norton and Edward Furlong's amazing performances are flawless, particularly Ed Norton's who's 3 stages of Danny are as insanely watchable as they bloody sickening. Not one for the faint hearted, this film is about (simply put) black vs. white.
*46. Liar Liar (1997) *
[thumb=H]1528_poster2_thumb18751_7765421.JPG[/thumb]
Director: Tom Shadyac
Genre: Comedy
Cast: Jim Carrey, Maura Tierney, Jennifer Tilly, Justin Cooper, Cary Elwes
Box Office: More than $275 mil in U.S. Box Office and rentals.
Random fact: When Fletcher literally beats himself up in the restroom, no sound effects were used; those are really the sounds of Jim Carrey's head slamming into the urinal, floor, and walls.
Cool quotes:-
*Bum: Sir, can you spare a little change?
Fletcher: Yes I could.
Bum: Well, will you?
Fletcher: No.
Bum: Why not?
Fletcher: Because I believe you will buy booze with it. I just want to get from the car to my office without being confronted by the decay of western society. Plus I'm cheap.
===========
Judge Stevens: How are we this morning, Counselor?
Dana: Fine, thank you.
Judge Stevens: And how about you, Mr. Reede?
Fletcher: I'm a little upset about a bad sexual episode I had last night.
[Shocked pause]
Judge Stevens: Well, you're young. It'll happen more and more. In the meantime, what do you say we get down to business? *
What can I say? I'ma huge Jim Carrey fan - and this is one of his best moments! Stand out movie - A hilarious script, great acting - and the outtakes at the end are brilliant!

[making dolphin noise]
Elliot Richards: ee, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee. *
This is one of the hilarious movies ever! oh my i laughed out so hard that my eyes were burst into tears - do you guys remember the scene in the basketball locker room when Brendan Fraser dropped the towel only to found out his penis size. 
- Devil hasn’t been so sexy - highly recommend it - you’ll have good time!

John Hughes teen movies of the 1980's were always good valued - and this was one of the best ones - The Breakfast Club. The movie takes place in a school library where a jock, a nerd, a bad-ass, a freak and a princess are forced to spend hours together during a saturday detention - Ally Sheedy and Anthony Michael Hall makes this movie with their whack characters!
