November 21, 2009Over the course of one hot, summer night, four teenagers are forced to deal with issues that will affect the rest of their lives.

November 20, 2009A great anthology of teenage life in the 60s. It has a lot of great early performances from now well known actors. The cinematic style is amazing and puts you into a suspension of disbelief. While I feel that the individual stories never closed properly, it wasn't bothersome to t...( read more)

November 6, 2009Although Harrison Ford only appears in a few minutes at the last part of the movie but he made the story interesting and fun....

November 3, 2009I don't know how Americans lead a life in this period, so I couldn't share any feeling from this movie.

September 18, 2009This one is a classic, and a total party. George Lucas showed a lot of talent when directing this film. One of the most fun and entertaining films that your parents will never forget. Amazing songs also.

January 20, 2008I LOVE this movie, I always have and always will 4ever!!! I have 3 copies of it plus 4 copies of it that I recorded on the VCR when it was on cable tv. I love everything about this classic movie: the music, the girls, the fun times of cruising the strip and the cars too. I wish they would have made a much better More American Graffiti, the second part to the classic American Graffiti wasn't very good at all!!!!!!!!!

September 4, 2007Having seen this classic about 12 times,it really hit me to what extent Francis Coppola was involved,not just as producer,but as far as having had a hand in the directing itself.I'd go so far as to say he deserved a co-directing credit,but maybe I'm off?

May 4, 2007Who can remember this film hitting theatres during the summer of 1973? This was in fact George Lucas' bonafide hit before "Star Wars" and it was just about having fun,being a teenager and cruising during the early 1960's.
The soundtrack to this movie is impressive which included tracks from some of the greatest artists of that decade(from the 1950's and early 1960's). In this picture,you have a cast of talent which includes Richard Dreyfuss,Harrison Ford,Paul LeMat,Ronnie Howard,Charles Martin Smith,Cindy Williams,
Mackenzie Phillips,Suzanne Somers,Candy Clarke and the great Wolfman Jack!!! Classic screenplay written by Francis Ford Coppula and George Lucas. A Grand Classic from the 70's!!! -
