I like both, but Fast Times gets the edge for me. I also like the Porky's sequels.

Fast Times but not by a lot. Have you noticed in the Fast Times movie that they seem to have 2 verisons of it? There are some scenes that are not shown on tv and sometimes they are.

For ex., there's a scene where Brad meets with his guidance counselor. He yells at her because she implies that he's goofing off even though he lost mulitple jobs. This scene was sometimes shown on tv but not now. If you own the tape of the movie, I dont think its on there either.

Also, when Brad is scrubbing the mirror at All American Burger there's 2 different sayings on the mirror. Just seemed somewhat odd.

I grew up watching both but I guess I would side with Porky's because as a kid I enjoyed it's perverted rauchy humor, yeah that's right my parents actually let me watch Porky's as a kid, it was the age of the VHS era and every weekend we'd go out to rent movies.

I really liked both movies but, I'll go with Porky's.

Porky's, I've seen it once before

Wow, no contest for me. Fast Times, all the way. I never understood why Porky's did so well; it was Animal House four years later, set a few years earlier, with much less likeable characters.

Fast Times had some real drama, and characters you cared about. It also had a better soundtrack. I like a lot of low budget flicks, but Porky's just struck me as kind of depressing and not much fun.

I've been watching Fast Times on VH1 and VH1 Classic. I agree about the soundtrack. Its really good.

I agree on the soundtrack, most teen movies today just suck with the Justin Beiber's, Ariana Grande's and Beyonce's.
