AG is a narrative masterfully poised (late summer, 1962) at the brink of a big culture shift, that is BEFORE: the Viet Nam War got more consuming; the civil rights movement expanded (& produced its accompanying legislation); the womens’ rights movement began to bud; the Beatles and the counterculture changed American rock and roll; and safety and mileage standards were mandated for automobiles, changing this industry. The enduring success of this film is largely owed to the writers’ letting the 6 protagonists’ own lives suggest what was to follow by the decade’s end. They are allowed to be themselves in a time and place and we watch with trepidation and irony, wondering how the future will interrupt them. It was no small achievement to resist spelling things out via screenwriter’s hindsight. Lucas was also wise NOT to place his story in a major urban center like the affluent northeastern suburbs or, more likely, Southern California. Fresno was the ideal choice for AG’s

Fun music!!! Fun people!!! What more can I say? This movie accurately depicts a night of cruising back in the 60’s, at least where I grew up in California. I will still be rocking out to this movie when I’m in the old folks home.

I saw this movie when I was a teen and after all these years, it’s still a feel good movie. I highly recommend it.

American Graffiti has always been one of my favorite movies; I have absolutely NO critcism of the film. I would rate the movie itself with 5 stars. But… this review is in regard the extremely poor quality of the DVD. I am purplexed that many say the DVD picture qualtiy is good, because that is my major complaint. The scenes are all extremely dark; you can barely see what is going on even after adjusting the light levels on your televison. I played this DVD on a HDTV 50 inch large screen televison – maybe if I played it on an old tube TV the picture quality would have been better?? Also.. as others noted, the sound quality is not as good as the original film. Very disappointing purchase – I expected better picture and sound quality from a DVD.

American Graffiti (1973) ***1/2 |C–112 min.| D: George Lucas. Richard Dreyfuss, Ronny Howard, Paul Le Mat, Charlie Martin Smith, Candy Clark, Mackenzie Phillips, Cindy Williams, Wolfman Jack, Harrison Ford. PG
Pre-STAR WARS George Lucas was still an enormous talent. Here is a film that almost was never produced, that everyone in the studios hated, and that was sure to be a bomb. It then went on to become the highest grossing (percentage wise) film of all time. It’s a wild and rambunctious story of the coming-of-age of four guys on the night before they leave for college. It’s a quick-witted story full of rye and rowdy humour for everyone to enjoy. Although it’s a little over the top sometimes, we can still sit through it and be swept away by its originality. It was a movie ahead of its time, even though it’s set nearly ten years before it was released. Better than most of the coming of age films which are nothing but a bunch of dumb, doped up teenagers in frat parties. The soundtrack is a swimming medley of all the popular songs of the 1960s. George Lucas made the right choice not to have any real soundtrack going on, but instead chose to have just the music from the radios of the cars as the music. Feels a little too long in some points, but ultimately it’s a good movie, without a lot of fluff to slow it down.
