Many in our generation may talk about watching MNF when Cosell announced that John Lennon was shot......or remembering what they were doing when Princess Diana was killed.

How many of you remember watching the Phoebe Cates pool scene in Fast Times and Ridgemont High for the first time....and the subsequent 30 or 40 rewinds?

I was at home watching "The Movie Channel" (TMC) on cable TV. I was about 12. I remember watching this movie every time it was on TMC that month and subsequently thereafter.

And I can never listen to The Cars "Moving In Stereo" in the same way again.

I have to admit that I forgot about that scene until you mentioned it and now I have a red bikini running through my mind.

I can tell you where I was when I first saw that scene:

Sitting in the Regency Theater watching the movie on opening night. My friends and I went there and a good time was had by all.

No, but there was a lot of cheering from those watching.

Stripes, Fast Times and Risky Business are three of the defining films for males who graduated from high school in either 1981, 1982 or 1983. Those are shining examples of true art.

Stripes: scene where John gets home from driving his cab and his girlfriend, Anita, is getting dressed....also, mud wrestling scene between Ox and female wrestlers..

Fast Times: aforementioned Phoebe Cates scene, also, scene with Stacey and Mike Damone in the poolhouse

Risky Business: 6 words: "Are you ready for me, Ralph?"

I vote for option 3.

Rad it is. Or are you gnarley?

I'm just glad to hear you're not bogus.

There are those here who are bogus. I do not fall into that category.

Pop culture trivia is a hobby of mine. Plus, as you said, the 3 movies you cited are classics. Quoting them is like shooting fish in a barrel.

Agreed. Great quotes from all those movies. Plus, the soundtracks from Fast Times and Risky Business are very cool. I especially like the "Having sex on the train" music, though it did cause me to get a speeding ticket between Fillmore and Beaver back in about '85 or '86.

FYI, Guido referred to it as the "choo choo."

I didn't realize it was Tangerine Dream. Nice bit of trivia there.

I remember Guido calling it the choo-choo. But then, I thought Guido was a sissy. A true tough guy would have spiked the egg rather than toss it and give Joel a chance to catch it. Then he would have shot Joel.
