About this product

Product Information

Set in 1962; Produced and released in 1973. AMERICAN GRAFFITI presents a powerful collage of youth on the brink of maturity just before the assassination of J.F.K.. Based on George Lucas's own teenage hot-rodding days in Modesto, California, this brilliant, bittersweet comedy inspired numerous other productions, including the long-running TV series HAPPY DAYS. Lucas's second feature film (following THX 1138), AMERICAN GRAFFITI contains an early screen appearance by Harrison Ford, who would figure heavily in the director's next movie, the sci-fi epic STAR WARS. The film follows one night in the lives of several recently graduated high school students. The genial Steve (Ron Howard) prepares to leave for college the next day, and Laurie (Cindy Williams), his girlfriend, is upset by his impending departure. Laurie's brother, Curt (Richard Dreyfuss), the class intellectual, is also slated for college, but he has serious doubts about his future. Also included here are the hopeless nerd (Charles Martin Smith) and the eternally cool drag racer, John (Paul LeMat), who feels pressure to live up to his reputation. A nostalgic feeling is evoked in seeing the teenagers cruising in their hot rods, eating at Mel's Diner, and listening to Wolfman Jack spin the latest hits, with the camera jumping from character to character as they each enjoy--or fret over--their last moments of summer freedom.

  • American graffiti one of the best films of all time

    I have always been a fan from all. The stars in the film including the disc jockey/ janitor Wolfman Jack wanna take a trip back in the days of the 50's then get this film....

  • Back to the past

    Anyone that grew up in the 50's will see themselves in this movie and remember a better day. It's entertaining in and of itself but nostalgic as well for the great generation as they are the ones depicted graduating from high school. I would recommend watching More American Graffiti after seeing this. You’ll see Harrison Ford in his first role and Susanne Sommers as the girl in the pink thunderbird.

  • A classic fun movie

    A great film from George Lucas , featuring early performances by Ron Howard, Richard Dreyfuss, Cindy Williams, Harrison Ford, and others. It features teenagers on a night in 1962 and also brings back great songs and classic cars from that period. Enjoy!

  • American Graffitti is a top 100 of all time

    No better movie and soundtrack about the early 60's. The beginning for some great careers. Saw it 15 weeks in a row when it came out and still have the bad habit of repeating the lines while watching with someone else. What could be worse for a new viewer. Answer?.....Nothing!

  • Classic

    I feel like words can’t describe this movie accurately. Everybody has their own perspective about this film because it all depends on how they can relate to the characters/settings. But I feel like this is an all time classic that will never grow out of fashion. Definitely one of those movies you have to see before you die.

  • Great listening for rock and roll music fans

    Very enjoyable. However, because it was all filmed at night it was kind of hard to follow and concentrate.
