[edit] High

One of the key movies of the 1980s, national film registry Andman8 05:05, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Regarding the accuracy of Clairemont High School as the school Cameron Crowe attended undercover: while it's true that around the release of the book and the film he said the school was in Redondo Beach, CA, it was later revealed that it was specifically Clairemont High in San Diego. See these more recent news articles for evidence: [1] [2] --Arteitle 04:42, May 5, 2004 (UTC)

Regarding the "Films selected for this honor are "not necessarily the 'best' American films ever made or the most famous, but they are films that continue to have cultural, historical or aesthetic significance"", why does that need to be there? There's no similar disclaimer on the pages of other films in the registry. --Bitoffish

[edit] Parodies?

Has the bikini scene from Ridgemont been parodied? This would be good information to add. Ghosts&empties 20:10, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Music

Thanks to whoever figured out that the music playing during the pool scene is The Cars - Moving in Stereo! --JR 19:07, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Note: When told to play side one of Led Zeppelin 4, we hear Kashmir from "Physical Graffiti." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theoen (talk • contribs) 03:20, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Naked Picture

Is the topless picture at * Are you serious? That is one of the best scenes in the entire movie! --JR 18:49, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

The topless is famous and a part of pop culture. The article not reflects that. Also, I did some cleanup, so can some one copy-edit behind me or possibly flesh out the plot summary spoilers? Thanks. Please no wholesale reversion; I'm working to make it better. BabuBhatt 03:34, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

The image and inclusion of the image in this article violates several aspects of Wikipedia:Fair Use#Policy; specifically criteria 2, 5, 8, and 10. Copyvio image removed. Ne1ls 20:52, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I like Jennifer Jason Leigh's tits as much as anyone else but it's not encyclopedic in the least. It's also not fair use. Besides, if we were to include a topless shot, it would have to be Phoebe Cates. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.41.138.181 (talk) 21:34, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

What about mentioning the DVD Commentary by the Director stating how Phoebe Cates (while filming the swimming pool scene) was initially reluctant to do the nude scene because she thought the neighbors in the neighborhood would be watching from their rooftops! Might be "trivial" but still a movie-fact with the source being the DVD Commentary. What do you all think? (one of you can add it in if you'd like) MaxButterchuck (talk) 16:59, 21 May 2008 (UTC)MaxButterchuck
