Fast Times and Excellent Adventures goes behind the scenes of a genre where cult hits mingled with studio blockbusters, where giants like Spielberg and Coppola rubbed shoulders with baby-faced first-timers and where ambitious future superstars Sean, Demi and Tom all got their big break. Music, comedy and politics - all play a part in the surprisingly complex history of the '80s teen movie. And while the films might have been aimed primarily at adolescents, the best tackle universal issues and remain a magnet to all ages. Time of your life, huh kid?
From a late '70s Hollywood in flux to an early '90s indie scene that gave youth cinema a timely reboot, respected film expert James King smartly highlights the personal struggles, the social changes and the boardroom shake-ups that produced an iconic time in movie history" -- BOOK BACK COVERNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9781472123725

Grease : Gender, nostalgia and youth consumption in the blockbuster era / Barabara Jane Brickman Abingdon: Routledge, 2018.
Call No: 79 GRE BRIAuthor: Brickman, Barbara Jane Edition: 2018Place: AbingdonPublisher: RoutledgePubDate: 2018PhysDes: 106 pages : illustrated ; 23 cmSubject: GREASE (US, Randal Kleisner, 1978) Summary: This book offers the first in-depth look at the history, social context, and industrial practices behind this teen musical phenomenon to suggest that social change, especially in terms of gender and sexuality, comes to the surface despite the film’s retro setting, blockbuster business model, and apparent nostalgic tone. The vast audience for this film over the last thirty-five years and the various "hopelessly devoted" fandoms indicate that Grease exceeds both the confines of its period and the limits of any one ideological message. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781138682719Contents: Introduction -- 1. Rydell High Class of ’78: Teenagers in the Me Decade -- 2. Exploitation and the New Pop Music Blockbuster -- 3. There Are Worse Things I Could Do: Gender, Sexuality, and Camping Up Nostalgia -- 4.
