CobbSCgirlGreenville, SC02009-06-17The songs on the DVD are unbearable!!!I have watched my VHS copy of Shag (my all-time favorite movie) at least fifty times and always sing along to every song. When the DVD copy arrived in the mail last week, I immediately watched it and could not have been more dissapointed! Listening to new songs take the place of the old songs that fit perfectly in the movie was UNBEARABLE! I honestly could not finish watching this version because it drove me crazy to hear the replacement songs that don't even go with the time period or mood of the scenes.
<br />
<br />MGM, please release another DVD version of Shag that has the originial songs on it!

When I opened it, and put it in my DVD player.....nothing happened. I stared at a black screen for several minutes, coming to the sad conclusion that I wasted my money on a DVD that won't play.B000059TGD40A2DNFDTPONPV6UA2DNFDTPONPV6Ucoogsnew york02009-01-07Shag the MovieLoved the movie.

<br />Great price. Couldn't go wrong.DescriptionWhat do you get when you mix T-Birds, Bermuda shorts, bubble-flip dos and incredible dancing? You get Shag, The Movie a comic free-for-all (The New York Times) that Variety calls fun and breezy and you'll call a blast! Carson (Phoebe Cates, Fast Times at Ridgemont High) is all set to marry respectable but boring Harley (Tyrone Power, Jr., Cocoon) until her best friends Melaina (Bridget Fonda, Single White Female), Pudge (Annabeth Gish, MysticPizza), and Luanne (Page Hannah, TV's Fame ) whisk her off for a last-fling beach party where all the girls have the time of their lives! A charming bad boy throws Carson's marriage plans intothe spin cycle. His nerdy sidekick whirls Pudge through some dazzling dance steps. Sultry Melaina learns some sexy moves from an Elvis-like teen idol. And even straight-laced Luanne whips off her horn-rimmed glasses and tosses her innocence to the wind!Amazon.comIt's not too surprising that <I>Shag</I> flopped on its 1989 release but found a devoted cult following on cable TV and home video. This featherweight comedy looked like a waste of space on the big screen, but it plays very cozily on the tube, where it lends itself to popcorn breaks and pajama parties. (The lousy title must have had something to do with the movie's initial failure, a problem worsened by the film being marketed as <I>Shag: The Movie</I>, a truly dumb idea.) <I>Shag</I> is in the tradition of Spring Break pictures, a thoroughly formulaic stroll through the conventions of the minigenre: beachside romance, a wild party, one tender deflowering, and lots of rock & roll. The time is 1963, as three gal friends trick their soon-to-be-married pal (Phoebe Cates) into one final all-girl fling in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Cates is engaged to a local well-bred stick (Tyrone Power Jr.), but soon she's tempted by a beach boy (Robert Rusler) bound for Yale (mm-hmm). The so-so material is buoyed by lovely Annabeth Gish, as the supposedly pudgy one in the group, and Bridget Fonda, as a prematurely sophisticated sexpot. After a while it's easy enough to relax and enjoy the girls' breezy adventures, which are served up without the soap opera melodrama of the similarly tooled <I>Where the Boys Are</I>. Oh, and Austin Powers notwithstanding, the title refers to the dance, not something else. <I>--Robert Horton</I>B0013D8M2GGirls Just Want to Have FunB00094ARJ6Teen WitchB000065V3HCan't Buy Me LoveB00013WWT8Just One of the Guys6305428050Adventures in Babysitting579584Comedy579580British Cinema284926By Country163313Art House & International404276Genres130DVD139452Video579588General579580British Cinema284926By Country163313Art House & International404276Genres130DVD139452Video722735011General AAS579580British Cinema284926By Country163313Art House & International404276Genres130DVD139452Video502948Coming of Age502916By Theme163313Art House & International404276Genres130DVD139452Video163371General163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video722745011General AAS291102British163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video291121Coming of Age291103By Theme163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video291136Friends291103By Theme163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video14155071Vacations291103By Theme163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video163390General163379Drama404276Genres130DVD139452Video722753011General AAS163394Love & Romance163379Drama404276Genres130DVD139452Video572062Coming of Age163379Drama404276Genres130DVD139452Video163417General163414Kids & Family404276Genres130DVD139452Video417018Cates, Phoebe416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video418138Coffey, Scott416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video423406Fonda, Bridget422476( F )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video425100Gish, Annabeth424172( G )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video433572Lieber, Paul432148( L )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video444672Rusler, Robert442578( R )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video445224Sarelle, Leilani444858( S )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video453446Yagher, Jeff453438( Y )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video355712011Comedy355678011British Cinema355667011Foreign & International251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video355715011General355678011British Cinema355667011Foreign & International251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video355867011Coming of Age355859011By Theme355667011Foreign & International251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video300187Father's Day300182Holidays & Seasonal251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video595276All MGM Titles468384MGM Home Entertainment468374Studio Specials251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video468388MGM DVDs Under $15468384MGM Home Entertainment468374Studio Specials251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video579548( S )579510Titles251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video1265183011Movies & TV on DVD and Blu-ray Disc Trade-In44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video387546011DVD387545011Format (binding)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video390121011Widescreen390118011Picture Format (format)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671501011Letterboxed390118011Picture Format (format)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405386011PG405383011MPAA Rating (feature_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405391011US & CA DVDs: Region 1405390011Region (feature_two_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video5620900111980 - 1989562084011Decade (feature_three_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video617866011English598208011Original Language (theme_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603123011Closed Caption603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603119011Letterboxed603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671505011Standard Edition603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video643791011Grade Level (feature_five_browse-bin)643792011Preschool643793011Kindergarten643794011Elementary School643800011Middle & High School643808011College643809011Post-Graduate386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671506011Audio Type (feature_six_browse-bin)671507011Digital Sound671508011Dolby671509011Surround Sound386709011Refinements130DVD139452VideoRA4YHQR5AKH2Myrtle Beach: The Best Vacation Ever!R1VOBCSDCPZFANFilms To Lift You Up That You Don’t Know AboutR18VAJH323OLKFThe Best of the BadR2VRU4S6Y4A31GThe 80's: A Comprehensive List of 80's Movies (Part 2)R2F4PXHG3HAX1CMy Favorite Dance MoviesR27TXTDRUATWWVCool Teen Movies from the 80's!R35FG9BM4G5JMUThe Best 80's moviesR32UA55P748VDRWhy haven't you seen these yet!!!????RR5C6HJHXQPH1House Party moviesR3KK3QQTA4P3UIMy Favorite 80's

Maybe Not.This is actually more of an interesting movie than we would be inclined to give it credit for. It basically shows us the lives of different types of high school students. (Not to mention some teachers.)
<br />
<br />Stacey and Linda are interesting. Stacey is the young naive girl ever ready to shed her virginity. She follows the advice of her friend Linda (who means well), but does not think as much as she should. Stacey ends up getting hurt, but she grows to the point where she sees that having love and friendship is much nicer than simple sex.
<br />
<br />Linda is the more sexually experienced girl, but rather predictably, she gets hurt with her own fascination.
<br />
<br />Mark and Damone are an interesting pair. Damone is the ever sexual predator. But he carries a charm despite his repulsive actions. And to some extent, he does realize that some of his actions were wrong.
<br />
<br />Mark is the 'geek.' But we also come to realize that he is not only on the smarter side, but he is in fact a really nice person. Undoubtedly, under Linda's advice, Stacey gets upset when Mark isn't ready for sex. But the truth is that just because Mark wasn't ready for sex, that did NOT mean he didn't care about Stacey. And soon afterwards, Stacey gets HURT badly. (Going back to Mark, there is something really funny about how everyone tries to see his answers during the final exam.)
<br />
<br />Charles Jefferson is the one weak link here. He is a stereotypical Jock, and he offers no real personality. The wreck of his car is an annoying intrusion, and it really doesn't fit. Unlike the other characters, he does no real growing.
<br />
<br />Undoubtedly, the favorite pair in this movie is Sean Penn and Mr. Hand. While they have a bad teacher/student relationship, at times it looks like a father/son relationship. Mr. Hand is hard, but he is fair: "Get used to doing your own business on your own time. You wouldn't want me to come to your house some evening and discuss U.S. History would you?" As hard as Mr. Hand gets, he is right when he says: "This class is for your own benefit." The reconciliation of Mr. Hand and Sean Penn is drawn rather well.
<br />
<br />Moving on, Stacey's brother Brad is worth mentioning as well. He is probably the closest to a 'normal kid.' He works hard in jobs he really doesn't like; but he knows he needs the money. In an especially sympathetic moment, he is brutally fired from his job for a DUMB reason. And he is especially helpful to Stacey when she has BIG problem. In many ways, it's so appropriate that Brad has his moment of glory in the last scene.
<br />
<br />Another character worth mentioning is the eccentric Mr. Vargas. He appears to be a strange teacher, but he is really likable: "Look, I am a little slow today. I just switched to SANKA. So PLEASE, have a heart." There is something utterly comical about how the students are shocked when they see that Mr. Vargas's wife is especially beautiful. Like Mark, he is strange, but nice, as well as smart.
<br />
<br />In all honesty, this is not just empty comedy. It shows us real students who have weaknesses and problems. But they are also likable and even Damone has some notable redeeming qualities. The teachers are not without likable qualities either.
<br />
<br />This movie is worthy of at least a chance. B00029RTCG52A1TPAE3V0LNNC2A1TPAE3V0LNNC2Chris E. TinsleyflashotterWhittier,CA22009-04-04Ah yes...High School The gold standard, Absolute must see for anyone who went to high school in the 80's. Not just craziness, but a real story behind all the fun. And whoa,Jennifer Jason Leigh is unbelievable naked.B00029RTCG51A2EUWXC22L66ZNA2EUWXC22L66ZNT. M. McLaughlinNaperville, IL, USA12009-03-05Great movie, even after its primeI recently saw this movie for the first time, and while it is slightly outdated, it was still very entertaining. There isn't really a main character, just a conglomeration of role players, and that helps the movie turn out well. Spicoli is hilarious as the high-guy at school who cares about nothing but warm weather, surfing, getting high, and saying "dude;" Judge Reinhold was in there as the normal guy who gets sick of the same old stuff, different day routine of his life; the girls in the movie are attractive, but without personality, as expected, the dorky guy who likes one of the attractive girls, plus the guy who is just a total a-hole, Dimone - they all blend in together very well for a fun, fast-paced movie.
<br />
<br />I think everyone can identify, in at least some way, with one of the major characters, or even a minor one (in some respects, now again, I'm saying this in a relative comparison to the 80's) and this makes the movie somewhat real.
<br />
<br />A good movie to watch with the guys, or just in a group environment. An absolute classic, and I would recommend that everyone see this movie, since it has been so popular for so long, and I can see just why.B00029RTCG31A2C7BOQVFH1HLEA2C7BOQVFH1HLEFrederick BaptistSingapore12009-01-10Amusing Teen Flick But Get the Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound Version!This film about teens despite its R rating has probably been seen by most teens of the time and although it shows that it's a "time capsule" of sorts for the 80s contains universal themes about teens that in many ways still remain relevant today which probably explains its continued popularity despite its age. What teenager anywhere in the world is not obsessed about sex, video/arcade games etc and has to deal with peer pressure issues?
<br />
<br />I remember my first introduction to "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" came in the form of the soundtrack which my brother bought all those years ago. I remember I really liked the tracks which were mostly written by the individual members of one of my all-time favourite groups The Eagles or as in the case of Jackson Browne those who wrote songs for them. Not all the great tracks from the film are on the album though as strangely enough the Go-Gos and Tom Petty's tracks are not there which may be because of contractual reasons but it was still a good album for a soundtrack.
<br />
<br />Sean Penn is very good as Spicoli but the rest of the cast also turn in very creditable performances as well and documents high school life in the U.S. in the 80s as well as "American Grafitti" does for the 50s. This dvd version though is not the optimal one that is out there and the picture and sound quality isn't that great. You should get the more recent version that has better restored picture and remastered sound qualities and give this version a miss.B00029RTCG30A153NZD2WZN5S3A153NZD2WZN5S3Michael KerjmanThe Earth22009-01-02Teen sex not funOf young adults comedy concludes all the stuff usual-a loss of virginity, indifference, pregnancy and a really loving schoolmate.

<br />Fun to watch, drama to live.Product DescriptionMovie DVDAmazon.com essential videoBefore he became an overrated filmmaker, Cameron Crowe (<i>Jerry Maguire</i>) was a reporter for <i>Rolling Stone</i> who was so youthful looking that he could go undercover for a year at a California high school and write a book about it. He wrote the script for this film, based on that book, and it launched the careers of several young actors, including Jennifer Jason Leigh, Judge Reinhold, Phoebe Cates, and, above all, Sean Penn. The story line is episodic, dealing with the lives of iconic teen types: one of the school's cool kids, a nerd, a teen queen, and, most enjoyably, the class stoner (Penn), who finds himself at odds with a strict history teacher (a wonderfully spiky Ray Walston).

Toth02009-06-15A 1980's Powerhouse Film! A Winner.Gremlins. 80's movies just don't get any better than this! This fantastic family film by Steven Spielberg launches its own category in creativity. I think it would be hard to believe there are people that haven't yet seen this 1984 film. This is a must see. There's just far to much to mention in a review, and its all good.
<br />
<br />Comedy, action, creativity and drama. Its all here in one film. Don't take my word for it, ... buy or rent it, and see for yourself.

<br />These Are The Rules of The Mogwii, A Pet Randall Peltzer Has Bought For His Tennage Son, Billy, For Christmas. But Shortly Aftyer A Few Days of The Mogwii Named Gizmo, The Rules Are Broken, and The Cute Little Fuzzy Mogwiis Turn Into the Slimy Green Evil Monsters Known As The Gremlins. Wen Thay're Not Watching SNOW WHITE at The Kingston Falls Movie Theatre, Thay're Attacking Inecent Pepole in The Small Town, and Distroy A Bar. So It's Up To Billy, Mogwii Gizmo, and Billy's Friend Kate To Help Save The Town From The Evil Green Slimy Monsters.
<br />
<br />GREMLINS is An Absolute Clasic Horror/Comedy of the 80s Next BEETLEJUICE. Zach Galligan Plays Billy Peltzer, and For His First Film To Star In, He Was Great. Pheobe Cates (From FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMOUNT HIGH) Plays Kate Baringer, Billy's Girlfriend In The Film, is Absolutly Belivable and Great as A Girl Who Has A Bit of A Dark Secret of Her Christmas One Year as A Young Girl. Howie Mandel (Who's Done Voices in MUPPET BABIES & BOBBY'S WORLD) Plays The Voice of The Mogwii Gizmo, and The Voice is Very Cute and is Probly The Best Carecter in The Film.
<br />
<br />The GREMLINS Look Fantastic and Are Brilliantly Evil (Even If Thay Do Watch SNOW WHITE).
<br />
<br />I Also Recomend To See Critters (Simeler To GREMLINS) & The Sequel Gremlins 2: New Batch.
<br />
<br />SPIECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE:
<br />-Deleted Scenes
<br />-Commentary By Directer Joe Dante, and Stars Zach Galligan, Pheobe Cates, Dick Miller, and Howie Mandel
<br />-Commentary By Directer Joe Dante, Producer Micehal Finnell, and Gremlins Artist Chris Wallis
<br />-Origanal 80s Production Making-Of Feature
<br />-Photo/Storyboard Gallery
<br />-Cast/Crew Film Highlights
<br />-GREMLINS Trailer
<br />-GREMLINS 2 Trailer
<br />
<br />The CAST Commentartary/ The CREW Commentary is Always My Favorite Thing on DVDs, as Thay're Very Interesting To Figure Intresting History and Facts About The Film. The Deleted Scenes Are All Great, and Hopfully There Will Be An Extended Edition of GREMLINS and GREMLINS 2 Someday. The Origanal Making-Of Feature Back When The Film Was About To Come Out is Another Great Feature on The DVD as I Find It Interesting To See a Making-of Back During The 80s. Photo/Storyboard Galleries Ussally Bord Me, But The Ones on This DVD Were Grat, and Some Were Just Very Funny. CAST/CREW Film Highlights Are Always Good Cause You Might Just Know You Might've Seen An Actor In A Film Buit Couldn't Remember What The Title Was. The Trailers For both GREMLINS Films Are Great Fun As Well.
<br />
<br />Though The Features Are Great, It Defenatly Needs More Accturally Be A Spiecial Edition.

<br />Overall Ratings:
<br />Movie-5/5
<br />DVD-5/5DescriptionA man buys a Mogwai as a Christmas present for his son. The young boy is told to keep the pet away from water, out of the light and never to feed it after midnight. Inadvertently, the creature is dampened and almost instantly, produces half a dozen furry replicas of itself --which continue to multiply and turn the small town upside-down.B000067FP8Gremlins 2 - The New BatchB000P0J09WThe GooniesB0000UJDLMShort CircuitB001AGXEAGBeetlejuice (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)B000V4UFZKPoltergeist (25th Anniversary Edition)163371General163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video292282Frighteningly Funny163396Horror404276Genres130DVD139452Video163407General163396Horror404276Genres130DVD139452Video163442General163431Science Fiction & Fantasy404276Genres130DVD139452Video410622Andrews, Edward409682( A )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video411274Axton, Hoyt409682( A )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video411738Banks, Jonathan411316( B )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video414062Brady, Scott411316( B )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video417018Cates, Phoebe416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video422794Feldman, Corey422476( F )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video424314Galligan, Zach424172( G )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video428300Holliday, Polly426368( H )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video430356Joseph, Jackie429340( J )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video430736Katt, Nicky430468( K )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video434340Luke, Keye432148( L )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video919296Special Editions295214Fully Loaded DVDs251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video600330All Titles515794Warner Home Video468374Studio Specials251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video600314Comedy515794Warner Home Video468374Studio Specials251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video600320Horror515794Warner Home Video468374Studio Specials251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video1265183011Movies & TV on DVD and Blu-ray Disc Trade-In44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video387546011DVD387545011Format (binding)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video390121011Widescreen390118011Picture Format (format)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405386011PG405383011MPAA Rating (feature_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405391011US & CA DVDs: Region 1405390011Region (feature_two_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video5620900111980 - 1989562084011Decade (feature_three_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video617866011English598208011Original Language (theme_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603123011Closed Caption603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671505011Standard Edition603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video643791011Grade Level (feature_five_browse-bin)643792011Preschool643793011Kindergarten643794011Elementary School643800011Middle & High School643808011College643809011Post-Graduate386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671506011Audio Type (feature_six_browse-bin)671507011Digital Sound671508011Dolby671509011Surround Sound386709011Refinements130DVD139452VideoRHH9DRQTH6HJ5My Top 25 Greatest Horror Films Of All-TimeR3I8QCSG61TDH8Top Box Office Movies 1984RXIFBLPI9QUNIBest 80s Horror filmsR13NFQFHSQ0XFXPenultimate DVD/Blu-Ray CollectionR1KKE6XCQKC3WEMovies of cinefex 15-27R1BR46L15O5XWVMore Great Horror Movies (By Category-Part I)R39Z7A0OUO6RFAMy Favorite 1984 MoviesRWAZDRNVJCXK0Favorite 20 Movies Prior to 1990R1H70ZSXV08QH1Filmgasms of 1984R1JPRSK1VVLAZOBest Christmas-ish Movies

<br />
<br />Long Away From Kingston Falls, Billy and Kate Are Now Working at Clamp INC. in New York City. After Gizmo's Chinease Owner Dies, Gizmo Goes Looking For Billy in New York City. But After Getting Wet, The Nasty Green Monsters Are on The Loose in Clamp INC. and Causing Mistif and Mayham All Over Again. But Insted of Having The Same Monsterus Maham Monsters Like in The First Film, The Gremlins Have Diffrent Porsinalties, Such as A Daffy Gremlin, Spider Gremlin, and A Brain Gremlin (Brilliantly Voiced By Tony Randall). Now Billy, Kate, Mr. Futterman, and Gizmo Must Distroy These Diffrent Prosanalaty Gremlins in One Big Building in New York.
<br />
<br />GREMLINS 2 is As Great and Possably Better Than The Origanal Horror-Classic Released in 1984. Most of The Fun Comes From The Diffrent Porsanality Gremlins in The Sequel and The Best In My Opinon is THE BRAIN GREMLIN Voiced By Tony Randall.Gizmo is Even More Fun Than Ever When He Tries Turning To His Favorite Action Hero RAMBO.
<br />
<br />The Action in The Fist Film Was More Horror-Like and Scary. The Action in The Second Film is More Comicly Horror-Like Than Scary, and The Sequel Just Makes It More Fun To Watch.
<br />
<br />The Best Moment in This Horror-Sequel is When The Gremlins Take Over The Clamp INC. Lobby and The Brain Gremlin is Singing ''New York, New York'' (Which I Wished It Was On The Soundtrack, But Sadly It Isn't).
<br />
<br />Overall, Gremlins 2 is A Must-See Sequel, and It Seceseds On What Over Sqequels Fail At, and That's Making It As Fun and Possibly Better Than The Origanal.
<br />
<br />I Recomend If You Liked Gremlins 2 You Should Also See The Origanal Classic Gremlins and The Critters Series.

<br />The Deleted Scenes Are All Very Great, and As I Mintchened in My GREMLINS (SPECIAL EDITION) Review, I Hope There's Going To Be An Extinded Edition Someday. The Making of GREMLINS 2 is Probly The BEST Making of I've Ever Seen as It's More of Making Fun of A Making Of Than It's Suposed To Be More Informantive.
<br />
<br />The Commentary is Another Great Thing on This DVD Has Well as Info On Why Thay Did The Sequel and Some Ideas That Were Dicided Not To Do In The Sequel. The Gag Reel of GREMLINS 2 is The Funniest Gag Reel I've Ever Seen On Any DVD Ever Released, Even Showing Some Mistakes That Happened on The Deleted Scenes.

They still look pretty real. What I like best about this film is that it took the hard edge off the first one and made it more of a comedy. To me, this sequel was more entertaining than the first film and one I would watch a lot more times. It's also family-friendly.
<br />
<br />There are so many jokes and wild scenes in here it would many viewings to catch them all. For movie buffs, it's especially fun with all the references to other films in here.
<br />
<br />However, it should be pointed out that there are still plenty of scenes where the gremlins are nasty and attack people, so the film is still horror-like in that respect. It may be played for comedic purposes, but these creatures are anything but friendly. In other words, there is still a bit of a hard edge in here for people who want that.
<br />
<br />Phoebe Cates and Zach Galligan reprise their roles as the cute, small-town, wholesome (despite not being married, however) couple who live together who, of course, know all about these gremlins.
<br />
<br />It was nice to see Jackie Joseph (of the original "Little Shop Of Horrors") again as well as some other well-known characters such as Christopher Lee, Robert Prosky, Dick Miller and Keye Luke.
<br />
<br />The film just flies by, which tells you it's entertaining. B000067FP850A2ZXSXABQ81RLSA2ZXSXABQ81RLSHelcio H.

It gives the audience a new take on what happened to all the characters from the first film and puts them in New York.DescriptionBilly Peltzer and Kate Beringer move to New York City and meet up with their Mogwai friend, Gizmo, when a series of accidents creates a new generation of diverse gremlins. Billy, Kate, and Gizmo must once again use all their experience to prevent another catastrophe. Amazon.comZach Galligan, the star of the first <i>Gremlins</i>, is back, along with Phoebe Cates, his girlfriend from the first film. They're both working in an ultramodern skyscraper owned by a Donald Trump clone (a hilarious John Glover). Galligan's furry little buddy is captured by a mad scientist, who not only helps it multiply, but invests the nasty, scaly offspring with intelligence and the ability to talk. (Watch for the one that has Tony Randall's voice.) What follows is imaginative mayhem that spoofs old movies, modern television, and the conveniences of postmodern technology. In some ways, the sequel is even more inventive and laughter-inducing than the original. <I>--Marshall Fine</I>B00005J6URGremlinsB000P0J0A6Gremlins (Special Edition)B00005LK95Short Circuit 2B0000UJDLMShort CircuitB000P0J09WThe Goonies163371General163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video722746011General AAS163378Parody & Spoof163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video292282Frighteningly Funny163396Horror404276Genres130DVD139452Video163407General163396Horror404276Genres130DVD139452Video163442General163431Science Fiction & Fantasy404276Genres130DVD139452Video417018Cates, Phoebe416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video423934Freeman, Kathleen422476( F )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video424314Galligan, Zach424172( G )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video425194Glover, John424172( G )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video426476Hahn, Archie426368( H )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video430356Joseph, Jackie429340( J )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video433004Lee, Christopher432148( L )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video434340Luke, Keye432148( L )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video437340Miller, Dick434574( M )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video438226Morris, Haviland434574( M )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video438914Neale, Leslie438726( N )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video439034Nelson, Shawn438726( N )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video441562Picardo, Robert440340( P )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video442322Prosky, Robert440340( P )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video451688Watanabe, Gedde451116( W )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video452978Winters, Time451116( W )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video600330All Titles515794Warner Home Video468374Studio Specials251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video600314Comedy515794Warner Home Video468374Studio Specials251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video600320Horror515794Warner Home Video468374Studio Specials251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video579524( G )579510Titles251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video727122011Comedy726738011The Halloween Movies & TV Sale: Over 950 DVDs and Blu-ray at Up to 59% Off251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video727126011Horror726738011The Halloween Movies & TV Sale: Over 950 DVDs and Blu-ray at Up to 59% Off251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video727130011Science Fiction & Fantasy726738011The Halloween Movies & TV Sale: Over 950 DVDs and Blu-ray at Up to 59% Off251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video727135011General726738011The Halloween Movies & TV Sale: Over 950 DVDs and Blu-ray at Up to 59% Off251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video728055011Comedy728035011The Cosmotopia DVD Sale: Over 445 Sci-Fi DVDs as Low as $5.99251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video728060011Horror728035011The Cosmotopia DVD Sale: Over 445 Sci-Fi DVDs as Low as $5.99251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video728065011Science Fiction & Fantasy728035011The Cosmotopia DVD Sale: Over 445 Sci-Fi DVDs as Low as $5.99251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video1265183011Movies & TV on DVD and Blu-ray Disc Trade-In44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video387546011DVD387545011Format (binding)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405387011PG-13405383011MPAA Rating (feature_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405391011US & CA DVDs: Region 1405390011Region (feature_two_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video5620910111990 -

<br />
<br />The truth is, PRIVATE SCHOOL is a tad similar to FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH, except PRIVATE SCHOOL is a dirty movie about guys trying to score with girls living at a private school instead of immature guys and gals at a public high like in FAST TIMES.
<br />
<br />This movie also takes me all the way back to memory lane to my childhoold days to when I was living in the Imperial Valley since I was 10 years old living in my hometown(El Centro, CA) at the time when PRIVATE SCHOOL had its theatrical release in the Summer of 1983.

The shipping of the product was timely. The movie arrived in good condition. The actual feature on a scale of 1 to 10 was a 4.

BatesIreland12008-03-03Funny 80s teen sex comedy!If you're a fan of 80s teen comedies you'll really enjoy this. It's not a well know film over this part of the work (UK and Ireland), in fact it doens't even have a DVD release over here. Heard about it in a book on 80s teen movies and thought it sounded good fun. Betsy Russell is the stand out in this. When describing her, the words "Hot Damn" come to mind a lot!Product DescriptionStudio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 03/06/2007 Run time: 89 minutes Rating: RAmazon.comTake <i>Animal House</i>, throw in a dose of television's <i>Bosom Buddies</i> and you get the Phoebe Cates/Matthew Modine sex farce <i>Private School</i>. The 1983 film was shot one year after Cates won fame in <i>Fast Times at Ridgemont High</i> (thanks primarily to her little red bikini), and two years before Modine won rave reviews for his work in <i>Vision Quest</i>. While neither star gives a stellar performance in <i>Private School</i>, both are appealing and likeable, even with the ridiculous premise. Chris (Cates) attends an all-girls private school, while horndog Jim (Modine) matriculates at the nearby all-boys school. In order to get close to her, Jim and his friend dress up like girls and befriend Chris and her hot posse. When Chris' sexy rival Jordan (Betsy Russell) tries to woo Jim away by riding a horse, Lady Godiva style, the stage is set for a catfight. Throw in a guest appearance by Sylvia Kristel of <i>Emmanuelle</i> fame and double entendres abound. The soundtrack is full of songs by '80s staples such as Rick Springfield, Vanity Six, and Bow Wow Wow, whose "I Want Candy" is played throughout a peeping shower scene. Though cheesy and intended for teenage boys, the film has an almost innocent charm compared to some of the current fare in theaters. <i>--Jae-Ha Kim</i>B0007W6HVMParadiseB0010T3ULQDrive-In Cult Classics - 8 Movie SetB000CRR3OWPrivate LessonsB000PKG8TMCashbackB00029RTCGFast Times at Ridgemont High (Widescreen Special Edition)163371General163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video291126Sex Comedies291103By Theme163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video291120Teen163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video163390General163379Drama404276Genres130DVD139452Video509094Beach Boys465350Artists163420Music Video & Concerts404276Genres130DVD139452Video722774011General AAS511462Classic Rock163420Music Video & Concerts404276Genres130DVD139452Video1693950114-for-3 All DVDs1081720114-for-3 DVD251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video412256Bay, Frances411316( B )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video417018Cates, Phoebe416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video431978Kristel, Sylvia430468( K )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video433438Levitt, Steve432148( L )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video437678Modine, Matthew434574( M )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video444788Ryan, Fran442578( R )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video447706Stahl, Richard444858( S )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video451400Walston, Ray451116( W )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video452520Wilhoite, Kathleen451116( W )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video453980Zorek, Michael453752( Z )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video454816Black, Noel454404( B )403502Directors251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video14279381All Universal Studios Titles14279371Universal Studios Home Entertainment468374Studio Specials251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video14279411Comedy14279371Universal Studios Home Entertainment468374Studio Specials251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video14279421Drama14279371Universal Studios Home Entertainment468374Studio Specials251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video579542( P )579510Titles251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video1265183011Movies & TV on DVD and Blu-ray Disc Trade-In44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video387546011DVD387545011Format (binding)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video390121011Widescreen390118011Picture Format (format)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405388011R405383011MPAA Rating (feature_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405391011US & CA DVDs: Region 1405390011Region (feature_two_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video5620900111980 - 1989562084011Decade (feature_three_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video617866011English598208011Original Language (theme_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603113011Dolby603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671505011Standard Edition603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video643791011Grade Level (feature_five_browse-bin)643792011Preschool643793011Kindergarten643794011Elementary School643800011Middle & High School643808011College643809011Post-Graduate386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671508011Dolby671506011Audio Type (feature_six_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video1288264011All product1267878011Products12678770111294451011Blu-ray & DVD1267878011Products12678770111297810011Blu-ray & DVD1294321011Just arrived1267879011Special Features1267877011RG32HR5BD1ZBVGreat Teen Movies You May have NEVER SeenRQWZK620P4BLZDivine Derrieres in FilmR3DC12EIF3MX2SThe Best Films Of 1983R2I2H58YC4729080s Teen Sex ComediesR23OPK46C14HOOUnderrated movies from the 80'sR3B9I00CWIOO3MSOME KIND OF 80'sR18UKHG1RCEEESNude Women Outdoors and in Public PlacesR221B4P1DKOAIEThe 80's: A Comprehensive List of 80's Movies (Part 3)R3MVJK2B4KJ14C80's SEX COMEDIESR3HSUXOUS18ZT3More Than a Woman: Continuing My List of Celebrity Beauties

<br />B00005UW7U50A180YVA86PS9KXA180YVA86PS9KXBrixton HokkiadoGA02009-01-28Epitome of Romantic ComedyIt has a beauty and timelessness in the character's personalities and relationships that are believable and unlike numerous cheesy romantic comedies made today. Of course a movie of this kind of plot is going to be predictable, but that doesn't mean it's portrayals of the ideas aren't freshly entertaining. The humor is genuine and not like, over the top cheesy guffaws. The love is dignified, not crass, though still inspirational of the occasional blush.

I have seen most of phoebe's movies and have a crush on her. She quit making movies to raise a family but she did leave a few that are worth watching. Fast times was the one that she is known for. But she made Gremlins Shag and this one. Why this movie is out of print is beyond me.
<br />I miss Phoebe on the screen for years but I understand family. Watch this movie it's very funny and has a good message. Love you Phoebe......It brings out the kid in all of us.
<br />B00009NHAG50A19EKT8H85AKO5A19EKT8H85AKO5retrowrestlingPasadena, California02008-09-24An element of transformationI remember watching this movie with my little brother, or should I say, when my brother was little.
<br />
<br />Overall, this is a fun and enjoyable movie. I love the chemistry and interaction between the characters of Phoebe Cates(Elizabeth) and Rik Mayall(Drop Dead Fred).
<br />
<br />However, the really enjoyable part of the movie for me came when Elizabeth was able to travel to her past and free her little girl version. Thus she was able to transform a part of her that was stuck for a long time.
<br />
<br />This movie is definately a little gem.
<br />Amazon.comThis not-quite-black comedy was probably a laugh riot on paper. The translation almost works, but the execution is flawed. Phoebe Cates is a recently separated young woman who suddenly begins to see her supposedly imagined childhood friend (Drop Dead Fred) after moving back into her mother's home. Is he a manifestation of her secret desires to ditch the boorish spouse? Or was he real all along? Rik Mayall is a limber, carrot-topped Brit with the lamentable assignment of trying to make us laugh with vulgar, sophomoric trickery. He is supposedly the repository of Cates's fastidious repression but is more annoying than cathartic. <i>--Rochelle O'Gorman</i> B0001AW14CLittle Monsters (Full Screen Edition)B00004XMVADon't Tell Mom the Babysitter's DeadB001AGXEAGBeetlejuice (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)0783225482Death Becomes Her6305428042Hocus Pocus579588General579580British Cinema284926By Country163313Art House & International404276Genres130DVD139452Video722735011General AAS579580British Cinema284926By Country163313Art House & International404276Genres130DVD139452Video163371General163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video414214Breitmayer, Peter411316( B )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video417018Cates, Phoebe416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video422010Eldard, Ron421742( E )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video423120Fisher, Carrie422476( F )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video424782Gerroll, Daniel424172( G )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video435700Mason, Marsha434574( M )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video435790Matheson, Tim434574( M )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video435934Mayall, Rik434574( M )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video441080Peldon, Ashley440340( P )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video458328Jong, Ate De458164( J )403502Directors251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video355715011General355678011British Cinema355667011Foreign & International251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video354767011All Lionsgate Titles468376Lionsgate Home Entertainment468374Studio Specials251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video579518( D )579510Titles251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video387546011DVD387545011Format (binding)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video390120011Full Screen390118011Picture Format (format)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405387011PG-13405383011MPAA Rating (feature_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405391011US & CA DVDs: Region 1405390011Region (feature_two_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video5620910111990 - 1999562084011Decade (feature_three_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video617866011English598208011Original Language (theme_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603123011Closed Caption603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671505011Standard Edition603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video643791011Grade Level (feature_five_browse-bin)643792011Preschool643793011Kindergarten643794011Elementary School643800011Middle & High School643808011College643809011Post-Graduate386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671506011Audio Type (feature_six_browse-bin)671507011Digital Sound671508011Dolby671509011Surround Sound386709011Refinements130DVD139452VideoR38KJ5RGEE7B7XFilmgasms of 1991R34QA3KM2TM1Z1Movies That Defined a Creative ChildhoodR8LWHEGW41AXVBest Fantasy MoviesRS6VKSGFYIIFTDisasterpiece Theater part 4R1XEVP2608KIJ9"Carrie Fisher - DVD Movies"R3SSGN3GP0H8HYMy Favorite MoviesRQ7N7VXBNFDU2listR1MUR0H7F8890DFun For The Whole Family:RVKQMI9KOKD9XMy DVD Collection Part IIR26F2CERNGFWCDPsych Club Movies

Maybe Not.This is actually more of an interesting movie than we would be inclined to give it credit for. It basically shows us the lives of different types of high school students. (Not to mention some teachers.)
<br />
<br />Stacey and Linda are interesting. Stacey is the young naive girl ever ready to shed her virginity. She follows the advice of her friend Linda (who means well), but does not think as much as she should. Stacey ends up getting hurt, but she grows to the point where she sees that having love and friendship is much nicer than simple sex.
<br />
<br />Linda is the more sexually experienced girl, but rather predictably, she gets hurt with her own fascination.
<br />
<br />Mark and Damone are an interesting pair. Damone is the ever sexual predator. But he carries a charm despite his repulsive actions. And to some extent, he does realize that some of his actions were wrong.
<br />
<br />Mark is the 'geek.' But we also come to realize that he is not only on the smarter side, but he is in fact a really nice person. Undoubtedly, under Linda's advice, Stacey gets upset when Mark isn't ready for sex. But the truth is that just because Mark wasn't ready for sex, that did NOT mean he didn't care about Stacey. And soon afterwards, Stacey gets HURT badly. (Going back to Mark, there is something really funny about how everyone tries to see his answers during the final exam.)
<br />
<br />Charles Jefferson is the one weak link here. He is a stereotypical Jock, and he offers no real personality. The wreck of his car is an annoying intrusion, and it really doesn't fit. Unlike the other characters, he does no real growing.
<br />
<br />Undoubtedly, the favorite pair in this movie is Sean Penn and Mr. Hand. While they have a bad teacher/student relationship, at times it looks like a father/son relationship. Mr. Hand is hard, but he is fair: "Get used to doing your own business on your own time. You wouldn't want me to come to your house some evening and discuss U.S. History would you?" As hard as Mr. Hand gets, he is right when he says: "This class is for your own benefit." The reconciliation of Mr. Hand and Sean Penn is drawn rather well.
<br />
<br />Moving on, Stacey's brother Brad is worth mentioning as well. He is probably the closest to a 'normal kid.' He works hard in jobs he really doesn't like; but he knows he needs the money. In an especially sympathetic moment, he is brutally fired from his job for a DUMB reason. And he is especially helpful to Stacey when she has BIG problem. In many ways, it's so appropriate that Brad has his moment of glory in the last scene.
<br />
<br />Another character worth mentioning is the eccentric Mr. Vargas. He appears to be a strange teacher, but he is really likable: "Look, I am a little slow today. I just switched to SANKA. So PLEASE, have a heart." There is something utterly comical about how the students are shocked when they see that Mr. Vargas's wife is especially beautiful. Like Mark, he is strange, but nice, as well as smart.
<br />
<br />In all honesty, this is not just empty comedy. It shows us real students who have weaknesses and problems. But they are also likable and even Damone has some notable redeeming qualities. The teachers are not without likable qualities either.
<br />
<br />This movie is worthy of at least a chance. B00029RTCQ52A1TPAE3V0LNNC2A1TPAE3V0LNNC2Chris E. TinsleyflashotterWhittier,CA22009-04-04Ah yes...High School The gold standard, Absolute must see for anyone who went to high school in the 80's. Not just craziness, but a real story behind all the fun. And whoa,Jennifer Jason Leigh is unbelievable naked.B00029RTCQ51A2EUWXC22L66ZNA2EUWXC22L66ZNT. M. McLaughlinNaperville, IL, USA12009-03-05Great movie, even after its primeI recently saw this movie for the first time, and while it is slightly outdated, it was still very entertaining. There isn't really a main character, just a conglomeration of role players, and that helps the movie turn out well. Spicoli is hilarious as the high-guy at school who cares about nothing but warm weather, surfing, getting high, and saying "dude;" Judge Reinhold was in there as the normal guy who gets sick of the same old stuff, different day routine of his life; the girls in the movie are attractive, but without personality, as expected, the dorky guy who likes one of the attractive girls, plus the guy who is just a total a-hole, Dimone - they all blend in together very well for a fun, fast-paced movie.
<br />
<br />I think everyone can identify, in at least some way, with one of the major characters, or even a minor one (in some respects, now again, I'm saying this in a relative comparison to the 80's) and this makes the movie somewhat real.
<br />
<br />A good movie to watch with the guys, or just in a group environment. An absolute classic, and I would recommend that everyone see this movie, since it has been so popular for so long, and I can see just why.B00029RTCQ31A2C7BOQVFH1HLEA2C7BOQVFH1HLEFrederick BaptistSingapore12009-01-10Amusing Teen Flick But Get the Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound Version!This film about teens despite its R rating has probably been seen by most teens of the time and although it shows that it's a "time capsule" of sorts for the 80s contains universal themes about teens that in many ways still remain relevant today which probably explains its continued popularity despite its age. What teenager anywhere in the world is not obsessed about sex, video/arcade games etc and has to deal with peer pressure issues?
<br />
<br />I remember my first introduction to "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" came in the form of the soundtrack which my brother bought all those years ago. I remember I really liked the tracks which were mostly written by the individual members of one of my all-time favourite groups The Eagles or as in the case of Jackson Browne those who wrote songs for them. Not all the great tracks from the film are on the album though as strangely enough the Go-Gos and Tom Petty's tracks are not there which may be because of contractual reasons but it was still a good album for a soundtrack.
<br />
<br />Sean Penn is very good as Spicoli but the rest of the cast also turn in very creditable performances as well and documents high school life in the U.S. in the 80s as well as "American Grafitti" does for the 50s. This dvd version though is not the optimal one that is out there and the picture and sound quality isn't that great. You should get the more recent version that has better restored picture and remastered sound qualities and give this version a miss.B00029RTCQ30A153NZD2WZN5S3A153NZD2WZN5S3Michael KerjmanThe Earth22009-01-02Teen sex not funOf young adults comedy concludes all the stuff usual-a loss of virginity, indifference, pregnancy and a really loving schoolmate.

<br />Fun to watch, drama to live.Product DescriptionNascent filmmaker and then-Rolling Stone journalist Cameron Crowe went undercover in a southern California high school to document the hilarious hijinx of teens in the 1980s. Director Amy Heckerling turned his book into a classic teen comedy--equal parts sex, stoners, sensitivity, and satire. Many of the young cast--most notably, Sean Penn and Jennifer Jason Leigh--went on to Hollywood fame. A milestone in '80s teen flicks.Amazon.com essential videoBefore he became an overrated filmmaker, Cameron Crowe (<i>Jerry Maguire</i>) was a reporter for <i>Rolling Stone</i> who was so youthful looking that he could go undercover for a year at a California high school and write a book about it. He wrote the script for this film, based on that book, and it launched the careers of several young actors, including Jennifer Jason Leigh, Judge Reinhold, Phoebe Cates, and, above all, Sean Penn. The story line is episodic, dealing with the lives of iconic teen types: one of the school's cool kids, a nerd, a teen queen, and, most enjoyably, the class stoner (Penn), who finds himself at odds with a strict history teacher (a wonderfully spiky Ray Walston). This is not a great movie but very entertaining and, for a certain age group, a seminal movie experience. <i>--Marshall Fine</i> Amazon.comBefore he became an overrated filmmaker, Cameron Crowe (<i>Jerry Maguire</i>) was a reporter for <i>Rolling Stone</i> who was so youthful looking that he could go undercover for a year at a California high school and write a book about it.

A Solinasea_solinasMD USA22009-03-02Though the gremlins outside are frightfulDon't expose them to sunlight. Don't let them get wet. And under no circumstances feed them after midnight.
<br />
<br />Those are the rules for the now-legendary mogwai, adorable little fuzzballs who transform if you break the last rule. And "Gremlins" is a gloriously unconventional Christmas movie -- a postcard-pretty view of suburban middle-America, splattered with gore, nasty little gremlins and a truly wicked sense of humour (expressed often in movie send-ups).
<br />
<br />Randall (Hoyt Axton) spots a tiny adorable creature -- a mogwai -- in a small Chinatown shop, and wants to buy it as a Christmas present for his son. The owner refuses, but his grandson secretly sells it to Randall.
<br />
<br />Randall's son Billy (Zach Galligan) is delighted by the fuzzy lightphobic mogwai, whom he names Gizmo. But it soon becomes clear that Gizmo is full of surprises: when water is accidentally splashed on him, he spontaneously generates a litter of NEW mogwai. The ringleader "Stripe" tricks Billy into feeding them after midnight, transforming them into scaly, dangerous "gremlins.
<br />
<br />And after a gremlin tumbles into a pool, Billy realizes that the town is about to be swarmed with them -- attacking vicious old Mrs. Deagle, ramming snowplows, murdering kindly teachers, and trashing a tavern with Billy's love interest Kate (Phoebe Cates). As the town descends into gremlinized chaos, the two humans (and Gizmo) must find a way to wipe out the horde... and if they miss only one, it'll start all over again.
<br />
<br />Personally I find most Christmas movies a little too sappy and sentimental. So for people who feel that way, a Yuletide horror/comedy is simply ideal -- it's sort of a mad hybrid of early Peter Jackson splattergore, Frank Capra snow-sprinkled Christmastime, and a bunch of sly movie homages and send-ups ("Forbidden Planet," "Wizard of Oz" and "Snow White" amongst others).
<br />
<br />But the real fun is in watching the movie's balance between nasty and cuddly -- Joe Dante happily veers between sweet moments and grotesquely funny violence (such as Billy's mom messily killing gremlins with a variety of kitchen implements), with the best example being the malevolent Mrs. Deagle being flung out an upstairs window by fa-la-la-la-LAing gremlins. Completely sick, and gutsplittingly funn.
<br />
<br />And Dante sprinkles it with more G-rated comedy that borders on cartoonish without quite crossing, such as the kid in the Christmas tree costume ("Don't ask!") and the gremlins destroying a local pub when they aren't watching Disney movies (is this a message about Disney?). It all climaxes in some literally explosive showdowns with the gremlins -- and particularly with Stripe, their ghastly little leader.
<br />
<br />Galligan and Cates are thoroughly solid as the teenage heroes, especially when Cates gives her heartbreaking speech about the horrible experience that made her hate Christmas. In fact, all the actors do a solid job -- the evil old landlady who serves as a sort of Wicked Witch of the West/Scrooge hybrid, the cranky old veteran, the crackpot inventor and the wise old Chinese guy.
<br />
<br />But the showstopper is Gizmo -- tiny, round, fuzzy and wide-eyed, with a babyish squeaky voice and a liking for toy cars and 3-D glasses. Rarely has a puppet been so bloody cute and endearing. His complete opposite is Stripe, a gremlin amongst gremlins -- malevolent and gleefully sadistic, he seems smart enough to revel in the idea of destroying the town.
<br />
<br />"Gremlins" is a brilliant horror/comedy that infuses a perfect American town with a little mayhem and gore, as well as some wickedly funny little nasties. Definitely a must-see.B00005J6UR30A39CX0EE4BZCZCA39CX0EE4BZCZCCraig ConnellLockport, NY USA02009-02-18This is Not A Cute Little Kids Film!; It's For Us AdultsWhen this came out, the amazing special-effects helped make this film a big hit, along with an interesting story with a likable little creature ("Gizmo") who got the viewers involved in the story, rooting for him.
<br />
<br />However, this isn't some cute little animal picture. His offspring are anything but cute and lovable. They are downright nasty, and scary at times. Because of that meanness, violence and some profanity, I do not recommend this movie to kids. The sequel I would recommend instead. That has much more of a comedic tone with less language.
<br />
<br />For us adults, though, this is very entertaining with a combination of horror, humor and suspense.

The young boy is told to keep the pet away from water, out of the light and never to feed it after midnight. Inadvertently, the creature is dampened and almost instantly, produces half a dozen furry replicas of itself --which continue to multiply and turn the small town upside-down.Amazon.com<i>Gremlins</i> is a whee of a film (if you don't mind the occasional gross-out) from producer Steven Spielberg, writer Chris Columbus, and director Joe Dante. Zach Galligan is the young man whose inventor father (Hoyt Axton) gives him an odd Christmas present: a tiny, furry creature that comes with a set of rules: don't get him wet, don't feed him after midnight, and keep him away from direct sunlight. But Galligan breaks the first rule and the damp little critter pops out a dozen little offspring. Then the offspring break the second rule and, overnight, turn from cute furry guys to malevolent scaly guys with world domination on their mind. The only way to stop them: rule three. But it's an anxious (and extremely funny) battle to make it to daylight--and the bad gremlins find ways to multiply over and over. Great special effects and a gruesome sense of humor make this a wild (if occasionally dark and scary) ride. <I>--Marshall Fine</I> B000067FP8Gremlins 2 - The New BatchB000P0J09WThe GooniesB000A2IPP0E.T. - The Extra-Terrestrial (Widescreen Edition)B0000UJDLMShort CircuitB001AGXEAGBeetlejuice (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)163371General163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video292282Frighteningly Funny163396Horror404276Genres130DVD139452Video163407General163396Horror404276Genres130DVD139452Video292307Monsters163412Things That Go Bump163396Horror404276Genres130DVD139452Video163442General163431Science Fiction & Fantasy404276Genres130DVD139452Video410622Andrews, Edward409682( A )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video411274Axton, Hoyt409682( A )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video414062Brady, Scott411316( B )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video417018Cates, Phoebe416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video422794Feldman, Corey422476( F )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video424314Galligan, Zach424172( G )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video428300Holliday, Polly426368( H )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video434340Luke, Keye432148( L )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video437340Miller, Dick434574( M )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video443186Reinhold, Judge442578( R )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video456012Dante, Joe455972( D )403502Directors251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video600330All Titles515794Warner Home Video468374Studio Specials251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video600314Comedy515794Warner Home Video468374Studio Specials251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video600320Horror515794Warner Home Video468374Studio Specials251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video579524( G )579510Titles251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video1265183011Movies & TV on DVD and Blu-ray Disc Trade-In44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video387546011DVD387545011Format (binding)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video390121011Widescreen390118011Picture Format (format)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405386011PG405383011MPAA Rating (feature_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405391011US & CA DVDs: Region 1405390011Region (feature_two_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video5620900111980 - 1989562084011Decade (feature_three_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video617866011English598208011Original Language (theme_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603123011Closed Caption603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671505011Standard Edition603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video643791011Grade Level (feature_five_browse-bin)643792011Preschool643793011Kindergarten643794011Elementary School643800011Middle & High School643808011College643809011Post-Graduate386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671506011Audio Type (feature_six_browse-bin)671507011Digital Sound671508011Dolby671509011Surround Sound386709011Refinements130DVD139452VideoR3L8222AVQGJEVTop Movies of 1984R1HXXWYDNFPAMLFlashback movies for children of the 80'sR25VQBDV8WEPF2kids of the 80'sRQAHKNSYDDORUX-mas Gore!R3Q8W6TLPRHYA2Great movies I loved as a KidR1TR4CXXYM59JCAwesome 80's!!<3R2C5YFAV6MECN1All Things Halloween Spirit, Movies Part 3 of 5R3EY9LWCFEKB65Christmas DVDsR3IYFXEB0HMMO7General Zombie's Movies Watched in 08/08R1CIJ1RD97NFJHThe List part 3

Maybe Not.This is actually more of an interesting movie than we would be inclined to give it credit for. It basically shows us the lives of different types of high school students. (Not to mention some teachers.)
<br />
<br />Stacey and Linda are interesting. Stacey is the young naive girl ever ready to shed her virginity. She follows the advice of her friend Linda (who means well), but does not think as much as she should. Stacey ends up getting hurt, but she grows to the point where she sees that having love and friendship is much nicer than simple sex.
<br />
<br />Linda is the more sexually experienced girl, but rather predictably, she gets hurt with her own fascination.
<br />
<br />Mark and Damone are an interesting pair. Damone is the ever sexual predator. But he carries a charm despite his repulsive actions. And to some extent, he does realize that some of his actions were wrong.
<br />
<br />Mark is the 'geek.' But we also come to realize that he is not only on the smarter side, but he is in fact a really nice person. Undoubtedly, under Linda's advice, Stacey gets upset when Mark isn't ready for sex. But the truth is that just because Mark wasn't ready for sex, that did NOT mean he didn't care about Stacey. And soon afterwards, Stacey gets HURT badly. (Going back to Mark, there is something really funny about how everyone tries to see his answers during the final exam.)

<br />Charles Jefferson is the one weak link here. He is a stereotypical Jock, and he offers no real personality. The wreck of his car is an annoying intrusion, and it really doesn't fit. Unlike the other characters, he does no real growing.
<br />
<br />Undoubtedly, the favorite pair in this movie is Sean Penn and Mr. Hand. While they have a bad teacher/student relationship, at times it looks like a father/son relationship. Mr. Hand is hard, but he is fair: "Get used to doing your own business on your own time. You wouldn't want me to come to your house some evening and discuss U.S. History would you?" As hard as Mr. Hand gets, he is right when he says: "This class is for your own benefit." The reconciliation of Mr. Hand and Sean Penn is drawn rather well.
<br />
<br />Moving on, Stacey's brother Brad is worth mentioning as well. He is probably the closest to a 'normal kid.' He works hard in jobs he really doesn't like; but he knows he needs the money. In an especially sympathetic moment, he is brutally fired from his job for a DUMB reason. And he is especially helpful to Stacey when she has BIG problem. In many ways, it's so appropriate that Brad has his moment of glory in the last scene.
<br />
<br />Another character worth mentioning is the eccentric Mr. Vargas. He appears to be a strange teacher, but he is really likable: "Look, I am a little slow today. I just switched to SANKA. So PLEASE, have a heart." There is something utterly comical about how the students are shocked when they see that Mr. Vargas's wife is especially beautiful. Like Mark, he is strange, but nice, as well as smart.
<br />
<br />In all honesty, this is not just empty comedy. It shows us real students who have weaknesses and problems. But they are also likable and even Damone has some notable redeeming qualities. The teachers are not without likable qualities either.
<br />
<br />This movie is worthy of at least a chance. B000035Z3J52A1TPAE3V0LNNC2A1TPAE3V0LNNC2Chris E. TinsleyflashotterWhittier,CA22009-04-04Ah yes...High School The gold standard, Absolute must see for anyone who went to high school in the 80's. Not just craziness, but a real story behind all the fun. And whoa,Jennifer Jason Leigh is unbelievable naked.B000035Z3J51A2EUWXC22L66ZNA2EUWXC22L66ZNT. M. McLaughlinNaperville, IL, USA12009-03-05Great movie, even after its primeI recently saw this movie for the first time, and while it is slightly outdated, it was still very entertaining. There isn't really a main character, just a conglomeration of role players, and that helps the movie turn out well. Spicoli is hilarious as the high-guy at school who cares about nothing but warm weather, surfing, getting high, and saying "dude;" Judge Reinhold was in there as the normal guy who gets sick of the same old stuff, different day routine of his life; the girls in the movie are attractive, but without personality, as expected, the dorky guy who likes one of the attractive girls, plus the guy who is just a total a-hole, Dimone - they all blend in together very well for a fun, fast-paced movie.
<br />
<br />I think everyone can identify, in at least some way, with one of the major characters, or even a minor one (in some respects, now again, I'm saying this in a relative comparison to the 80's) and this makes the movie somewhat real.
<br />
<br />A good movie to watch with the guys, or just in a group environment. An absolute classic, and I would recommend that everyone see this movie, since it has been so popular for so long, and I can see just why.B000035Z3J31A2C7BOQVFH1HLEA2C7BOQVFH1HLEFrederick BaptistSingapore12009-01-10Amusing Teen Flick But Get the Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound Version!This film about teens despite its R rating has probably been seen by most teens of the time and although it shows that it's a "time capsule" of sorts for the 80s contains universal themes about teens that in many ways still remain relevant today which probably explains its continued popularity despite its age. What teenager anywhere in the world is not obsessed about sex, video/arcade games etc and has to deal with peer pressure issues?
<br />
<br />I remember my first introduction to "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" came in the form of the soundtrack which my brother bought all those years ago. I remember I really liked the tracks which were mostly written by the individual members of one of my all-time favourite groups The Eagles or as in the case of Jackson Browne those who wrote songs for them. Not all the great tracks from the film are on the album though as strangely enough the Go-Gos and Tom Petty's tracks are not there which may be because of contractual reasons but it was still a good album for a soundtrack.
<br />
<br />Sean Penn is very good as Spicoli but the rest of the cast also turn in very creditable performances as well and documents high school life in the U.S. in the 80s as well as "American Grafitti" does for the 50s. This dvd version though is not the optimal one that is out there and the picture and sound quality isn't that great. You should get the more recent version that has better restored picture and remastered sound qualities and give this version a miss.B000035Z3J30A153NZD2WZN5S3A153NZD2WZN5S3Michael KerjmanThe Earth22009-01-02Teen sex not funOf young adults comedy concludes all the stuff usual-a loss of virginity, indifference, pregnancy and a really loving schoolmate.

<br />Fun to watch, drama to live.Product DescriptionUSA Release Of 1932 Original ScarfaceAmazon.com essential videoBefore he became an overrated filmmaker, Cameron Crowe (<i>Jerry Maguire</i>) was a reporter for <i>Rolling Stone</i> who was so youthful looking that he could go undercover for a year at a California high school and write a book about it. He wrote the script for this film, based on that book, and it launched the careers of several young actors, including Jennifer Jason Leigh, Judge Reinhold, Phoebe Cates, and, above all, Sean Penn. The story line is episodic, dealing with the lives of iconic teen types: one of the school's cool kids, a nerd, a teen queen, and, most enjoyably, the class stoner (Penn), who finds himself at odds with a strict history teacher (a wonderfully spiky Ray Walston). This is not a great movie but very entertaining and, for a certain age group, a seminal movie experience. <i>--Marshall Fine</i> Amazon.comBefore he became an overrated filmmaker, Cameron Crowe (<i>Jerry Maguire</i>) was a reporter for <i>Rolling Stone</i> who was so youthful looking that he could go undercover for a year at a California high school and write a book about it.
