Details: Amazon.caValley Girl is, like–Omigod!–one of the most « tubular » teen comedies of the early 1980s. This movie launched Nicolas Cage’s career, and it’s easy to see why: Following his tiny role inFast Times at Ridgemont High, Cage is perfectly cast as a Hollywood punk who instantly falls for Julie (the irresistible Deborah Foreman), a San Fernando « Valley Girl »–a brighter variant of the stereotype immortalized in Moon Unit Zappa’s 1982 novelty song–who must choose between wild-boy Nic and her preening jock boyfriend (Mark Bowen). Fortunately, Julie knows what’s right for her (even if her « Val » friends don’t), and in refreshing defiance of teen-flick tradition, her post-hippie parents (Frederic Forrest, Colleen Camp) are supportively cool. With sincere humor, a lively soundtrack of ’80s hits, and a time-capsule cruise of Hollywood landmarks,Valley Girl is both timeless and nostalgic, owing much of its lasting appeal to Martha Coolidge’s sensitive direction. Fer sure, y’know, it definitelywon’t gag you with a spoon.–Jeff Shannon
