American Graffiti

American Graffiti (1973) starring Richard Dreyfuss, Ron Howard, Paul LeMat, Charlie Martin Smith, Cindy Williams, Candy Clark, Mackenzie Phillips, Wolfman Jack, Harrison Ford. Written and directed by George Lucas. Outstanding, groundbreaking film is about a group of teens in 1962 and their activities on the last night of high school. The soundtrack of the movie is made up entirely of rock 'n' roll music from the era 1955-62, so this is a real nostalgia piece for those who went through their teens in the late '50s or early '60s. The film also launched the careers of many of the main actors who appear in it. The disc also features a fine making-of documentary which is over an hour long and includes all of the principals involved in the making of the movie. (Subtitles for the hearing-impaired are available, and the songs are captioned.) Grade: A
