Fast Times At Ridgemont High (1982) – A Classic For A Reason

Before the ’80s, it was essentially impossible to pause movies. However, with the advent of home VCRs, all of a sudden, fans could watch, pause, and rewind their favorite moments. Of course, after its release on home video, the 1982 comedy classic Fast Times At Ridgemont High became one of the biggest sellers of the era. The film has remained so significant that it has even been preserved in the U.S. National Film Registry.

Meanwhile, a particular pool scene from Ridgemont High became one of the first most paused moments in movie history! The scene in question catapulted Phoebe Cates from beginning actress to one of the biggest stars in Hollywood – and young men’s hearts!
