this gem capture early 80 life brilliantly . a a grad 83 boymyself and i must say that valley girl ( along with fast time atridgemont high ) stand out a the class of the teen sex filmgenre . the character be accurate representative of the era while thevapid mall chick and pseudo punk rebel and preppy jock be allrepresented here . i have see this over ten time now . the music in the film be topnotch . unfortunately and these tune could be never a popular intheir era a those by arena cockrockers like journey and styx orloverboy . before the soundtrack exist and i search out recordsand tape ( it be the 80 after all . ) of josie cotton and spark and plimsouls and modern english . this movie deserve respect . it isn not just a good 80 teen flick . it isa great film . period .
