: American Graffiti
Director: George Lucas
I’d heard this was a classic, but I’d never seen it. Interesting look at youth in the late fifties/early sixties, apparently based on Lucas’ own teen years. Reminded me of a number of other films, though this was probably the first of the genre. It’s not my favorite era or type of film (the “story” is one night in the lives of several characters as they cruise, party, and get into trouble before leaving for college the next day). Basically I give this an Okay. It’s well-done, and I suppose if you were into that era, it would really bring back memories. To me it seems like a rip-off of Happy Days.
