MEDIA ALERT – June 26, 2017 The Class of ’82 Reunites for Two Days Only When Fast Times at Ridgemont High Returns to Cinemas July 30 and August 2, As Part of the TCM Big Screen Classic Series • WHAT: Celebrating its 35th anniversary, Fast Times at Ridgemont High – director Amy Heckerling’s ode to teen life in the early Eighties – is hosting a cinematic class reunion, as the beloved film returns to movie theaters for two days only, July 30 and August 2. Presented by Fathom Events and Turner Classic Movies as part of the yearlong TCM Big Screen Classics series, the event will also include specially produced commentary by TCM Primetime Host Ben Mankiewicz before and after the feature. • Join stoner dude Jeff Spicoli (Sean Penn), naïve sophomore Stacy Hamilton (Jennifer Jason Leigh), her managerial brother Brad (Judge Reinhold), the worldly Linda Barrett (Phoebe Cates), the shy Mark “Rat” Ratner (Brian Backer) and sleazy Mike Damone (Robert Romanus) as they experience the best and worst high school has to offer. With a screenplay by Cameron Crowe, based on his book, this hilarious, warmly nostalgic and still emotionally-relevant exploration of kids who want to grow up too fast stands the test of time. • WHO: Fathom Events, Turner Classic Movies and Universal Pictures • WHEN: Sunday, July 30, 2017; 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. (local time) Wednesday, August 2, 2017; 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. (local time) • WHERE: Tickets for Fast Times at Ridgemont High can be purchased online by visiting FathomEvents.com or at participating theater box offices.
