High School Crush
Trying to figure out the world and your own life in high school almost seem like tasks too big to handle, especially at such a young age. But our teenage years are so pivotal for understanding things about ourselves, it is the first time we really start talking about having crushes on other people.
Remember Phoebe Cates? She was a pretty big actress in the 80s, and Dustin has a huge crush on her in the show. You actually see her as a cardboard cut-out in Fast Times at Ridgemont High when Steve accidentally knocks it over. Moving in Stereo by The Cars is played when Billy walks out to perform his lifeguard duties, which also happens to be the song that was played during the pool scene starring Cates, in Fast Times, in her red bikini.
