Going to the drive-in or theater was a place where you could take a date or just have fun with a group of friends. Popular movies this year included Fast Times at Ridgemont High , An Officer and a Gentleman , and Tootsie . Parties were held every now and then for whatever reason anyone had to throw a party.
