American Graffiti (VHS, 1998, 25th Anniversary Special Edition; Clamshell)

I graduated from high school in 1962 and although it was in a small town near Louisville Kentucky the same caricatures, the cruising, the hamburger drive in, it was all in this small town as it was in California.Perhaps the end of a way of life is somehow portrayed in this movie, there is no doubt the country was changing in many ways.If you lived during these times this movie tugs at your heart and perhaps leaves you with that melancholy feeling in your gut.If you did not live in these times you owe it to yourself to watch and learn and perhaps have a little more insight into those gray headed old people you see at the mall, they truly were not born old we had a youth and it was something.A real part of Americas past was smartly preserved in this classic.I never tire of seeing it.

I LOVE THE MOVIE IT REMINS ME OF MY DAYS OLD CARS DOWN TO EARTH MOVIE VERY FUNNY IT REVOLVES AROUND THE 70 AND 80 CRUSING AROUND TOWN IN YOUR CLASSIC CARS DRAG RACING I LOVE THE 58 CHEVY THE 55 CHEVY THE DUCE COUPE THE PRANKS THEY PLAYED ON THE COPS THE TIME THE HAD CRUSING DOWN THE STRIP WISH WE COULD THIS TODAY I HAVE A 1967 MUSTANG WOULD LOVE TO GO BACK TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS AGAIN THE DRIVE IN HAMBURGER AND MALT PLACE ALSO THE MELDNER THING WITH THE YOUNG GIRL IN THE CAR HE HAD A TIME WITH HER

This is a a perfect example of a groundbreaking movie with a charming growing up theme.It wonderful how this movie takes the viewer back to 1962 with all its neuances and just beyond this rainbow of a dream lurks the hell that was the Vietnam War.oUSTANDING!
