OVERVIEW: Universal Studios Home Entertainment presents two decade-defining high school comedies, Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Dazed and Confused, both debuting August 9, 2011 on Blu-ray(TM) for the first time ever. Laugh out loud this summer with some of today's biggest stars including Sean Penn, Ben Affleck and Matthew McConaughey as they suffer through the highs and humiliations of high school. Fans can revisit both hilariously irreverent comedies on Blu-ray(TM), featuring perfect picture and the purest digital sound.
FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH:
Academy Award winner Sean Penn (Milk) stars as the unforgettable Jeff Spicoli in the film that defined the outrageous and bold teen comedy genre, Fast Times at Ridgemont High . Follow a group of Southern California high school students as they explore sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. Directed by Amy Heckerling (Clueless) and written by Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous), this rollicking portrait of 1980s American teen life features film debuts of future stars and Academy Award winners Nicolas Cage (Leaving Las Vegas) and Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland), plus decade-defining music from The Go-Gos, Oingo Boingo, and The Cars. Jennifer Jason Leigh (Margot at the Wedding), Phoebe Cates (Gremlins) and Judge Reinhold (Beverly Hills Cop) also star.
DAZED AND CONFUSED:
Complete with bongs and bell bottoms, macrame and mood rings, Dazed and Confused follows a group of high school students on the last day of school and one wild night they'd never forget ... if only they could remember. Featuring a superb ensemble cast including Academy Award winner Ben Affleck (The Town), Matthew McConaughey (The Lincoln Lawyer), Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil) and Parker Posey (Superman Returns), Richard Linklater's (School of Rock) critically acclaimed cult favorite that features classic rock music by Aerosmith, Black Sabbath and KISS delivers an enduring film that Rolling Stone calls "spectacularly funny!"
