[Lake Films]

Has anyone seen 'three o'clock high' recently? Looking at it again I realized what great shots & camera moves were in that film. Editing also.

I haven't seen that film in a long time. I remember really liking it, but I don't remember any of the shots that well. I will have to add it to my netflix queue.

Oh yeah! I think "3 O'Clock High" was one of the most underrated teen comedies of the eighties. The camera work and direction were way above par for the genre. A really fun flick.

I remember liking it and I remeber time remapping as the camera trakcs in on the clock super fast.

I want you to understand something Jerry. I don't like people knowing about me, in fact I don't like it when ANYONE knows about me. So you can take that paper of yours and wipe off your d...k with it! You made me mad Jerry... now I'm gunna have to do something to work it off...

Love it!

That's more of an apples and oranges questions

Both great. Both for different reasons.

3OH has a "Coenesk" feel and is filled with some of the coolest visual/audio editing and camera work ever put to an 80's comedy. The characters are awsome and different. Before I even knew what I was looking at, I knew there was something very special about that movie.

Fast Times is more conventional when it comes to tech.

Ah OK, you weren't being entirely literal. I hear you.

I can never pick a favorite anything for those very reasons - the apples and oranges thing. An online account I just created asked me to choose a security question and all the choices were like Favorite movie, character, book, pet ... no way I can pick one. I had to go with "street I grew up on."

I'll have to rent this one again.

Great movie. Love the documentary guys in that flick. So ahead of it's time.

Did this movie make money?

Worked on a commercial with Phil Joanou on a Buick commercial. Cool guy.
He also directed "Rattle & Hum".

Man, I hadn't thought about this movie in years! This is a great high school movie. I remember thinking how cool it was when I first saw it. I think they actually showed it at my school during recess or something. Might be wrong though. Definitely going to give it another viewing.
