This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Fast Times is somewhat the older brother of Dazed and Confused which is 11 years it's minor. Alike it's brother-in-arms it dishes out early or first appearances to some actors and actresses who became household names afterwards, like Sean Penn, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Phoebe Cates and Judge Reinhold. Also, Nicolas Cage, billed under his real name and Eric Stolz have some minor roles in it.
Especially Sean Penn's role as always stoned surfer dude Jeff Spicoli in his constant fight…
Robert Altman's early opus magnum. The grandmaster of ensemble cast and interwoven stories plays it hard here. I have to it, I at some point lost track of the stories.
The music is great though if you like old fashioned country and not that new blend of it.
This movie is so vast, but still engaging.
You cannot be a fan of pagan horror if you didn't watch The Wicker Man. Full stop!
This surreal, exuberant and also extremely funny horror movie with an exhilarating Christopher Lee (look at his costumes) is a masterpiece in just over 90 minutes. If you're a fan of Midsommar you will love this movie and also find all the inspirations that Ari Aster drew from.
