Guess the Movie

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Four Oscars among three actors from the cast, the movie spawned a TV series (only one season), and another actor worked in a popular TV series from the 60s.

Oh, come on!

One popular Nick worked in the move (he used a different last name then).

Sorry - no idea.

OK, new pictures reuploaded from the net.

Now we get to the actual protagonist

Couldn't find a picture with Forest Whitaker?

No naming names, please!
Either noone (but you) is looking at this thread at the moment or I again failed with the choice of a non-obscure movie.
What shall I do next time? Post credit screens? Or post a (short*) list and say it's one of these, whoever gets it before exhaisting the list wins.

*Posting my DVD list would not be much help. Too long

[Opsa]

I just googled Sean Penn and found a movie with the tagline:
"Fast Cars, Fast Girls, Fast Carrots... Fast Carrots?"

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

I haven't seen this movie, though.

[Swatopluk]

There is one "suggestive" scene in the movie involving a carrot*. Canonically it should of course be a banana
Not enough to put it in the tagline though.

It is indeed Fast Times at Ridgemont High, the one that more or less spawned the infamous highschool (comedy) movie genre.
Your turn

Have never seen or even heard of that movie. Not got much experience with the genre.

[Opsa]

It was one of those Hollywood Boy movies that were big in the 1980's, I think. Was Sean Penn married to Madonna at the time? Egad, there were a bunch of them churned out one after the other. Porky's. Pauley Shore movies. I never saw any of them. I think the closest I came was Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (which was actually quite cute) and Wayne's World (okay, but obviously created for another gender than mine).

O carp- it's my turn again and I haven't anything on hand. Anyone want to take my spot?

[Swatopluk]

I normally would not touch highschool movies with a long pole but from what I hear this one is a wee bit different. For once the author of the book did actual research (undercover) and thus the movie is considered to be quite close to life. Probably not the case for all the other movies followowing in its wake. I came to it because I looked where a certain clip in a documentary came from. It took me a while to find out and since the DVD was reasonably priced (and with extras) I bought it.

If noone volunteers before middle of next week, I could give it a try. But expect something obscure again

[Opsa]

Ut-ohhhh....

I was very tempted to add "Not you, Swato!" at the end of my previous post, but the diabolical Professor Swato does come up with challenging mysteries.

Unless you want me to pick one...

Unless you want me to pick one...

No problem.
Although I consider your challenges to be as hard as mine.
