Spicoli!! Fast Times at Ridgemont High will always be one of my favorite teen comedy movies of the 80s. This movie always makes me laugh but also makes you remember what it was like being a teen growing up. Great movie with some great actors.
 
Good comedy I gave it a 4 because I put The Princess Bride and Stand by Me above it...for comedy though if Spaceballs is 80s I put it above it too...think it's because I'm not into stuff that revolves around school since I hated going to school so much haha...
