    M.K.

  • Comment removed

  • que temaso por dios aguante la serie fame!!!!!!!!!!

  • Dancing with leotards and spandex smelling like funk in that one big orgy

  • LOL i go to this schooll.. Lunch is deff not like thiss... only sometimes

  • wake up jammin'

  • i have dance class and we are doing this scene from FAME

  • If i danced like that after having lunch i'd throw up!

  • Its like one big orgy, but nobody's having sex.

  • I love that part of the movie!

  • This jam makes me want to boogie. The dancing is spectacular. Hot Lunch my butt, dance time. That is like a big party, and I am amazed by the staff who were just standing there smiling, that is my kind of school.lol. :).

  • I would hate but love to eat lunch there, hate because People would probably bump me while I am trying to eat, love because it would make me forget about lunch after about a week of forgeting, I probably would have lost 7 pounds. I love Irene Cara.

  • Btw thanx for the 411 about Fame airing on tv I'm watching it now haha

  • Ha my alumni high skool did Fame as their FIRST musical ever since the 1970s lol it was greatt!!

  • That looks fun as hell!

  • Original episodes of "Fame" are currently airing on the Ovation digital cable channel.

  • In the 80's, ANYTHING can be made into a song. This right here... is the best.

  • Love it!

  • i love this

  • Fuck "Glee", FAME has a real message and way better music & dancing.

  • @TheQueenGeorgina lol smae here but for freshman year :)

  • my teacher is in this movie...

    

  • This cafeteria is awesome

  • This movie needed more scenes like this and less scenes with Ralph Garcey.

  • @liduck52 Interesting comment. The music industry is full of people who want to, but can't, or can, but never get the break, hence 'fame', the aspiration few acheive.

    I think his character is important.

  • movies lik this make me glad ima 80s babi. My mom said u only lived in the decade for lik a year but i dont care I still got some 80s in me lol

  • I prefer this lunch scene more than the luch scene in the remake. So much soul and I just love Irene's voice.

  • I sat thru this WHOLE video, and didn't see ONE hot lunch.

  • irene s voice is incredible

  • I saw this when it first came out (1980 I think?). I am 51 now and this is still my favourite scene from any film of all time (and I am a big gruff man with not a hint of pink in my wardrobe). At the start it is a cacophony of noise like any group of musicians on a break, but out of the chaos a rhythm emerges completely naturally, which becomes a wall of sheer exuberance - I think there is a sense within the actors that life can't get any better.

  • The original Fame all the way!!

  • CRACKWOOD, i wanna live forever i wanna learn how to frrrryyyy.

  • Gene Anthony Ray - died on November 14, 2003 at age 41 from complications of a stroke he had suffered starred as Leroy, a street-smart urban teenager

  • my drama class is doing this scene!!

    im shady sadie! :))

  • @jesusgirl1994 haha u must go to silverado

  • @bbrizzle11 lol yes. Yes i do

  • the original.. the best... all these crappy remakes of movies they make now are stupid... cannot remake perfection... i was sad when leroy died (in real life)

  • @kindredvampyre this is the first time I'm hearing this. When did he die?

  • In order to fully appreciate this whole scene you would have to see it on the big screen. I remember sitting in the theater watching this scene and was in complete awe of this scene.

  • For once...the kids playing music are the cool ones!

  • The King Cinema in Seattle 1980, "FAME" in 70mm and 6-track Dolby Stereo! Priceless!!!

  • fuckin priceless.

  • I hate my mother until this day for not sending me to pa

  • maybe the coolest scene in music-movie history

  • 最高です

  • I love this!

  • @odquest our prop cafeteria was this fun... but it was a prop... for the play fame...

    old fame ftw!

  • Maybe the most excitin' scene about the 1rst movie...You're pushed into dance among those Artists come straight from another planet...Try and do this in your cafet' just one time in your life !..MO'SEAN's "I WANT TO", a pure Love Soul Song, an' a L.P. next will take U to his planet of Love, moving but naturally fresh, this guy has everything. Thanks YOUTUBE 4 those Diamonds shinin' High in the Sky....To my SoulMate of Angel from above...

  • In the new fame, they use a maching to do the beats lol :) This version is way better !

  • @angerock49 Nothing can beat the 80's....not even a remake!!

  • my online college orientation sent me to this video

  • @Jicim

    you'd think they'd use videos that are allowed to be embedded but no.

  • Wow! One of the backup singers from the movie made it to the tv series. Cool.

  • BEST HIGH SCHOOL PERFORMANCE MOVIE EVER MADE!!!! Hands down! No movie since this one has been this good, it had depth, it had talent & it was real not some bubble gum version remake(booooo the remake 100 times) They dont make movies like this anymore, & they wont. Different generation now. Back then everyone had a dream to "make it", now its just about "making money". Im glad I grew up then when this movie and movies like flashdance, breakin, stayin alive, dirty dancing were all around. sigh...

  • @KWEENMOANA I second all of that !!!Absolutely !

  • @KWEENMOANA Yeah! Asbsolutely agree with you!

  • This rocked!

  • lol wow i'd love a cafeteria like that!!!

  • @LittleJ345 No worries. Everyone has their own opinion. It's all good.

  • There is a new film called step up three. the dancers are very good but it looks like a video game. you cannot defeat Fame when it comes to soul, feeling, natural characters and music..

  • nice!

  • this was my high school....duke ellington h.s for the arts dc. style. great times!!!!

  • piano in the cafeteria! WOW

  • LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this scene! ... Great movie! ...

  • I love this movie!!! but the original version, not the 2009 remake!

  • i've got a gift for you friends ;) Shady Sadie, serving lady Don't pay her no mind, no She'll take every dime She's got a one-a-day lunch Good for all the bunch, yeah Hot lunch, yeah Macaroni and baloney Tuna fish, our favorite dish Hot lunch, hey If it's yellow, then it's jello If it's blue it could be stew oo, oo She's got a one-a-day lunch Good for all the bunch Hey, now Hot, hot lunch Oh, oh, no Yeah
  • I definitely see the comparisons between Irene Cara and Donna Summer.

  • Those people are way too old to be in high school. Some look too old for college even.

  • @Jupiter98111 Most were high school age or just a couple years older when the film was released, Maureen Teefy ( Doris) was among the oldest of the principal cast at 25, though I think she looked much younger. Irene Cara (Coco) was only 21. Lee Curreri (Bruno) was only 19, Barry Miller (Ralph) was 22. Gene Anthony Ray (Leroy) and Paul McCrane (Montgomery) were both only 18. For the most part these actors were kids or very young adults.

  • gr8t song ! fame forver bohh ya

  • the new fame sucks the original is where it's at

  • @mixermake Absolutely.

    

  • Irene cara's voice blows all the voice's away from the new movie Fame. sorry but true.....Irene is still "Fame"...

  • I wish I went to school there! Dang if lunch was like that even once a year i'd go to school more just waiting for it to happen!

  • If my lunch would be like this, I would go to school singing every day and take my saxophone with me every day. :D I love the boy at the piano at 1:23 btw. How is he?

  • Classic!!!

  • Man. I wish my cafeteria had been like this! Epic.

  • One HOT scene in the movie!!

  • check the minute 4:02 the girl of the nude ass

  • j'adorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre

  • i saw the first movie. i'm so much like doris.

  • I went to a regular High school. All we did was freestyle rap, play the radio and gambled (spades, Poker, Dominoes etc.) If our lunch period was like this we would never go to class

  • I went to a performing arts HS and our building was old and raggedy we used to dance and fool around in the lunch room but band and orchestra majors rarely had their instruments with them at lunch except like drumsticks. Anyway we definitely danced and played music but there was never a time when ALL of us were up foolin around haha. When we moved to our new building everything changed and we couldn't have fun like that in the caf. Anyway, this movie is so nostalgic to me.

  • Music & Art was also a raggedy old bldg "Castle on the Hill" which is what made it special to me, there was a certain ambiance there, that u too felt at Performing Arts as well, LaGuadria is TOOO modern, its not the same c'mon HS with escelators ??? I remember feeling the same way went I went to Juilliard, TOOO Modern :)

  • Wow Julliard? Is it all it's cracked up to be? I was always too intimidated to even think about going there, and I kinda wanted to experience a normal school again. Anyway. How

    'd you like it?

  • my motto Juilliard, where back stabbing is an art. funny reason i chose there over Mahattan school of music is I lived across the street in the Amsterdam porjects, and that was reason alone for half the studen body to look down at me. but screw them I HAD talent, and didnt let it get to my head, but it was an overall good experience, and actually the name makes the school, i would say its not ALL that, but pretty good. :)

  • Oh okay, that's cool. I can imagine all the drama there had to be, it's like inevitable when you put so many artists together haha. It's sad, you'd think it would be different in college where everyone should be a mature adult but I don't think that ever changes. There will always be some arrogant fool looking down on the next person. =/ Glad ur overall experience was awesome though. =)

  • i got more respect and encouragement in High School :)

  • Wow, that's crazy. Actually, I think I did too. But for the one semester I majored in my art in college I didn't feel...ostracized or anything, I guess it was just because its a bigger school and a time where everyone's trying to get their stuff together noone else is thinking about you or even has time to. Like, you make friends, but still everyones so busy. In HS it's all lovey dovey help ur neighbor. And, you get closer to the teachers too. N college u have 2 pull urself up by ur bootstraps.

  • you can't hate "Fame", you can only be jealous....

  • Music & Art was also a raggedy old bldg, which is what made going there ALL the more fun, LaGuardia, is TOOOO modern and does not have that same ambiance, I felt the same way u did when I graduated and went to Juilliard ! :)

  • @bethmanne i agree! :)

  • @bethmanne excellent comment!

  • I learn something new everyday. I had no idea Michael Delorenzo was in this movie! He could move!

  • This was one of the most innovative scenes in the whole movie--and being that I went to High School at that time in NYC, to see the High School of Performing Arts in it's true depiction as far as the competition in there--and I had friends go to that school--was an eye opener. Also that they actually PLAYED the instruments mad that beautiful to watch--I forgot about the harmonica player!! Wow!!

  • i was a student at Music & Art when this movie was made, summer of 79, my junior year and released in may of 80---this scene was indicitve if Performing Arts, IFFF they had allowed this jam to happen, which they WOULDNT have, these schools were indeed good but strict in conduct---it hurts me when i tell people where i went to HS, and they automatically assume " dancing on the lunch tables" was the way the school was !!!!

  • What were you so talented in to go there?

  • Music my dear !, thanks for asking I forgot to put it in :)

  • Esta es una gran escena, la versión de fama de 2009-2010 es un asco, no tiene la magia de la versión de los 80´s... no la vean, gastarán a lo wey su dinero...

  • I love this scene My brother Rich the drummer who starts this musical scene really was in his prime Lee curreri and the rest of the cast is the real thing

  • Just watched this for the first time in 20 years and I CANNOT get this tune out of my head. It's incredible.

    Bruno's piano baseline is addictive!

  • So addictive.

  • i'm watchin fame right now

  • great great

  • My cafeteria was never that much fun....

  • the 1980's will live on forever!!!

  • LOVE THIS FAME the new one is really crappy compared to this one

  • meehehehe no offence but this is funny! hahaha

  • The new "Fame" is too High School Musical and not enough drama.

  • bothe the new fame and all HSM is CRAP!!!!!!!!

  • I always love how people who claim to hate things go to the videos anyway. If you truly hated Fame you wouldn't have come to this video and I would only hope that you would have been mature enough to respect those who enjoy it. (Sorry you can't be taken seriously when you misspell a word like "both" and shout your opinion to the world via caps and explanation marks.

    On a side note, Fame and High School Musical are quite different, their only similarity being that they are musicals.

  • oh are you just of officaly upper! I was infact responding to comment made by someone else saying that the new fame was brilliant or something along those lines. Please get off your high horse, it clearly doesnt suit your 19 year old red neck roots!!!! and p.s i love Alan Parker's Fame i think it is a fantastic movie!

  • I'd like to point out that you have once again resorted to hostility in retaliation.  You could have easily defended yourself without your "Please get...neck roots" sentence. In fact, I'm very confident that you are going to reply to this via a new (might I add weak) insult. If you were confident in yourself and your opinion you would not have felt the need to check the age on my profile to gain "leverage." Using a 3 year age difference (if that is your age, which...

  • ...I doubt given your response) as a means of insult and asserting yourself is an adolescent behavior. I'm leaving it at that. If you post another agressive reply know that I'm not replying and that you have only proven my point.

  • es muy buenacancion viva los 80

  • sonone would drop a bloody can and they would burst into song!

  • lol this looks like the song of spongebob with the jellyfish jam

  • im lookin for this scene from the new version. cant find it. any help?

  • its called remember

  • 01:13 :D

    there begins the best part :D!!!

  • Does anyone know what the lunch song is in the new fame movie 2009?

    I am searching for that.

    And also the song what's on "Naturi's" first cd? The song that you here on the halloween party..

  • the lunch song is This is my life

    and the song played on the halloween party, isn't Cant Hide from Love Naturi Naughton ?

  • Yeah i thought that Can't hide from love was the halloween party song but i was not sure.

    Sorry for my bad English.. I'm from the Netherlands

  • i do

  • J'ai vu la nouvelle version au cinéma 2 fois !Et franchement je la préfère carrément à l'ancienne.

  • Jonathan Strasser was one of my teachers at school.

    (He plays the conductor at the closing).

  • This is classic I remember seeing this back in 1980 and this one song made me go out and but the record yes this is before CD's and downloads. 'Fame" should have never been remade, I was sooo disappointed with the synthetic remake of this movie I walked out. But when this song came on the sound and that disco beat just made me want to get up and dance. This is one movie that has to be seen on the big screen to. I went to high school with the guy at 4:29.

  • lamest idea for a song EVER, yet i cant listen to it without getting it stuck in my head for days!

  • the copy cat fame doesn't come close to the orginal and Naturi doesn't come close to Irene CAra..if anything she was laughable. I was like that girl is to oogly to be cocoa.

  • stop comparing the two movies !

    they are not the same the movie fame now is just based on the old fame it's not the same !

  • I have not seen the modern version, but the 1980 film is CLASSIC.

  • word. i don't want to see the newer version.

  • aw bruno is too adorable

  • i dont understand why some of these comments are being negatived and they are so tru. I saw the new Fame today, i thought it was okay. I was expecting to be blown away, which is ashame cause there were some good talented actors and dancers in it. I wasn't born when the original came out but i saw it before and love it, it had better drama and storyline as well as dancers.

  • and WAY more songs

  • 0:10 lol.

  • this new one SUCKS! can't they keep anything old without remaking it?

  • in the new fame. what was that guy using to make the beat in the beginning? i got to have it!!!

  • The new scene did not even come close to the intensity in this scene!

  • i just saw a cameo of dancer/actor michael de lorenzo from show new york undercover he also appeared in michael jacksons video BEAT IT,plus other music videos in the 80's he did alot of backup dancing and videos before he was casted on new york undercover,this was 1 of my favorite dance movies.

  • I don't find anyhting silly about it, in fact the New SONG SUCKS IMO. I saw the new "Fame" and according to many critics and myself I was not at all impress.

  • The new movie was ok.. Was expecting it to blow me off my seat but it didn't... I liked the Lunch scene in the new movie though... Better than the orignal..

  • The lunch scene in that one was simply marvelous...and the only song not available on the soundtrack. Why are the good ones always gone?

  • Nothing can ever compare to the original. Ever.

  • The original of anything always sets the standard.

  • Listening to this now after all these years growing up watching it , I still want to dance and get crazy with u feel me

  • Quello che si dice un ambiente lavorativo creativo!!!

  • Awesome scene!! Irene Cara Rocks!

  • My favorite scene. I hope the new movie measures up.

  • i´M TOTALLY AGREE WHIT YOU!!!

  • cool

  • I love you Irene Cara! I love this movie...

  • i think this song was a single i have a sing version on vinal

  • Alan Parker is underrated.

  • They need to bring back the TV Show, on TVLand or something. Miss it, Loved it and of course, loved the 1980 movie! Fabulous!

  • they show re-runs on BETJ.

  • jesus, school is so not like this,,,,,,i wish it eally was tho............the movie and the forthcoming remake is all one big HUGE snesationalized thing. it wud b pretty amazing if it was like this tho...

  • I remember going to see Fame in June of 1980. When this scene was on the big screen and the sound track man you could feel the vibe and energy in the whole theater. One of m all time favorite movies.

  • love this part

  • how can they make a new one its just not the same!

  • All the GREATS in this movie, including Michael DeLorenzo from New York Undercover...and Jasmine Guy in the TV Series, was she in the movie to?  Anyone Know?

  • No, Jasmine guy was not in the movie. Jasmine Guy rocks though!

  • No, Jasmine was not in the movie.

  • god ii love this movie and this song haha
