Julie Richman: At my parents' store.
Randy: What do they sell?
Julie Richman: Health foods.
Randy: That's cool.
Julie Richman: Like, it's not cool at all! Like, it's all this stuff that tastes like nothing and it's supposed to be so good for you. Why couldn't they, like, open a Pizza Hut or something?

This gem captures early 80's life brilliantly. As a grad '83 boy
myself, I must say that Valley Girl (along with Fast Times at
Ridgemont High )stands out as the class of the teen sex film
genre. The characters are accurate representatives of the era; the
vapid mall chicks, pseudo punk rebels, preppy jocks are all
represented here.
I have seen this over ten times now. The music in the film was top
notch. Unfortunately, these tunes could were never as popular in
their era as those by arena cockrockers like Journey, Styx or
Loverboy. Before the soundtrack existed, I searched out records
and tapes (it was the 80's after all !) of Josie Cotton, Sparks,
Plimsouls and Modern English.
This movie deserves respect. It isn't just a good 80's teen flick. It is
a great film. Period.
