American Graffiti (DVD, 1998, Collector's Edition)

Reminds me of happier times. When fun was clean and simple. Hot Rods, sock hops, driveins and hair grease. who could forget wolf man Jack?

I purchased this dvd for my dad, who is in his mid 60's as it reminded him of his much-younger years. It is a classic. Its funny to see some of the actors/actoress back then and how they have matured. This is a must-see for those who remember the street rods and the 1960's!!!!!

American Graffiti: Collector's Edition

American Graffiti, when it was released in 1973, demonstrated that writer/director George Lucas had a talent for filmmaking that was well beyond his years. Covering one night in 1962 Modesto, Calif. (Lucas's hometown), American Graffiti blends the music, cars and fashions of the day with several interwoven stories of young people who face the difficult transition from adolescence to adulthood. Many members of the cast, which includes Ron Howard, Richard Dreyfuss, Cindy Williams, Charlie Martin Smith, Paul le Mat, Candy Clark, McKenzie Phillips, and a very young Harrison Ford, got their first big breaks in this low-budget film — a project that, at the time, Universal didn't understand or know what to do with. They get it now, of course, and their Collector's Edition DVD sports very good source print of the Lucas-approved cut, the original Dolby 2.0 soundtrack, the original theatrical trailer, textual supplements, and an 80-minute documentary on the making of American Graffiti with many insights from the cast and crew, producer Francis Ford Coppola, and Lucas himself, who talks extensively about his struggles to get American Graffiti made and how he sees the film in light of his subsequent career. Essential viewing for Lucas fans.

this has got to be the best early rock and roll movie ive ever seen,it has all the best 50's and early 60's music known.when i was a little kid in manhattan in new york city,i was passing the edison movie theater on 103 rd street and broadway when i looked at the pictures on the outside of the place showing what was playing inside and i saw all those hot rods and old time cars and i went in to see the movie and i was blown away by this movie,i mean if you like 50's music this flick has it all and i love the scenes and how they make you feel as though you wish you could be there and hang out in the strip and meet up with your friends and go to the burger joint and have a burger and coke,but the best part for me was the drag races i never saw a drag race before that and i was hooked,this movie is the one movie that ranks number #1 in my memories of movies ive seen.

My husband was very impressed have it on vhs and wanted it on dvd. Is a great movie about hotrods we have autgraphs from some of the actors that are in the movie one of his favorite

DVD and shipping time was very good and quality of DVD was Excellent.
If I order any more movies I will order from this ebay seller.

This film, directed by George Lucas, appeals to the semi-circular nostalgia that is common to films of this genre. The cast, which includes Richard Dreyfuss and John Howard, is studiedly not an all-star cast. The plot is simple to the point of tedium but, overall, Lucas succeeds in making a film that, while it lacks the subtleties of (for example) "The Last Picture Show" is not wholly dull.

I have always loved this movie however I found the DVD quality a bit lacking as compaired to others I own.It was the same as an average VHS tape.The value was a bit low due to the quality of this DVD.

It is American Graffiti!! Fantastic movies for all ages. Almost impossible to find in stores, only available on E Bay. Lot of extras added on the DVD.

Loved the movie years ago and really enjoyed the DVD purchased on ebay. This is a classic movie and should be in every baby boomers movie collection. There are many young actors in this movie that went on to become stars.

I searched specifically for this DVD and was quite happy to quickly locate it. I was not impressed with the time it took to deliver my purchase.

This should have won Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Film Editing in the 1973 awards.

I've always considered it to be totally superior to "Grease," whose plot was similar and whose characters covered the same time period.

it is a movie and I like it I don't feel like writing a book so just except the fact that I bought a movie that I like and that I didn't have in my collection,.

This is A GREAT MOVIE!! I LOVED IT! It was written so well.IT was full of different emotions for each one.IT was FUNNY but the kids had to make a few serious decisions along the way.It kept you so interested in what they were going to do next.They really picked the right actors for this movie! Could watch it again and again!

Received a new American Graffiti DVD in good condition, it was as I remembered it. Liked seeing the vatrious cars '55 Chevrolet/58 Chevrolet/57 Thunder Bird and John Milner's 32 Ford.

It's a classic movie. Everyone should have it in their movie collection. Very satisfied. I was looking for this movie for along time. I always looked when I went to the movie stores, but I never could find it. So I decieded to look on the internet, but no luck anywhere until I set up an ebay account and thought to look on ebay, why not ebay has everything else. I am very happy to say that I was right in my decsion to look on ebay, because I found it. Thank you Ebay.

A romp and ride through the mid 60's with everyone before they were anyone. Harrison Ford,Richard Dreyfus,Ron Howard etc. A teenagers summer night (mare) with an award winning soundtrack they sold millions. Still the best movie made about the era. The biggest treat is hearing and seeing Wolfman Jack in his prime. Memories galore for all the baby boomers.

I always liked this movie sense I was a kid. I remember my brother and I went to the movies to watch it we were probly around 12 or so and it was very entertaining. I always liked hot rods and this is the perfect movie for that. The quality of the DVD is great and the price is right. I don't have any bad to say about this movie or any thing thing bad to say about the seller. It is just a great movie. If you have not seen this movie you should because you are in for a treat. Thanks ebay for your always great prices on all itemm that are sold

Wonderfull movie love the theme and love the cars. Have seen it ten times since received in the mail. Instant classisc...

I bought this at my husbands request. We have seen it many times and he wanted to own it. He especially loves the cars as he is a car nut.... It is very nostalgic and fun to watch. But there is also all the teen angst going on.

Was alright but disappointed as thought was full screen and was a wide screen. Otherwise purchase was alright. Fast shipment.

Love everything about it... just a great movie for anyone. The cars, soundtrack, racing, and the actors are awesome.
