Sir , deepest respect for you , not only for what you have given us , but, being a car guy , for preserving that part of American car history , that is your Tucker ! I'm 74 and watch my American Graffiti DVD t least 3 times a year since they were available for sale . Before that , it was my vhs , which still works ! Take care and ❤ to You , Neil .
I know why Universal didn't like this movie. They are part of the global cabal that hate American Culture, and this movie fully represents what that stands for.
Universal after filming this cool movie they tried to sell the 5 window coupe for 1400 dollar's but no one wanted it straight away but eventually it sold after falling into disrepair 😢
I saw it when I was 16 in the summer I left High School for Engineering College, so it is always going to be massively nostalgic for me, even if I chose the motorbike route, rather than hot rods.
I was born in 1972.... In my teens I fell in love with everything hot rods and drag racing. I remember seeing American Graffiti in my early teens and John Milner and his yellow 1932 five window coupe became my heroes... I spent my teenage years and some of my young adult years trying to be as fast and as cool as John Milner. I'm 50 years old now and the movie STILL makes me want to cruise, and drag race... A timeless movie that I will always love.
I was in Plainview, Texas when "American Graffiti" hit the movie theaters. I was just out of the Air Force and Vietnam, going to school on the G I Bill to be a Court Reporter. I got my driver's license in 1963 and was already a "car guy" before that. Grew up in East Texas street racing and going to the drag races at nearby race tracks. Man, it was a great time growing up in the early '60s. Hot cars were a real deal, especially "Hot Rods" like Milner;s coupe and Falfa's 55 Chevy Gasser. And, don't forget the music. The "Oldies" still rock today, just like the cars! Grew up listening to "The Wolfman," too. I lived it and loved it and "American Graffiti" showed the world what it was like to those that missed those wonderful days. "Where were you in'62?"
love the movie , have it on my foxtel watching list right now it always there ready to watch when i feel like it , few people have said to me i should of been born in 1950 and grow up in the 50's and 60's
Last movie I saw before I left for bootcamp at a drivein in Memphis. Left the following morning for Parris Island. The year was 1975. Good times...great memories.
I've seen that movie more times than I can count, know it line by line. I'm fortunate to have cruised McHenry in Modesto and drove Frates rd in Petaluma.
I was born in 1986 and from the time I was old enough to stand on a milk crate and see into an engine bay I've been addicted to the sound of an angry V8 screaming at the world in violent defiance. I first saw American Graffiti at 12 and it shook my world. These stories of a time past told by family, when predatory muscle cars prowled the streets in search of a victim were suddenly brought to life in color! It has since that fateful day stuck with me and fueled my passion, to recreate those childhood memories of choppy roars, spent race fuel, hot tacky rubber and high anticipation of the next few moments in time when the bulbs go green and time stops.....then it's done as quickly as it began. This movie is and will forever be in my opinion the best on screen depiction of the age of steel animals. Thank you Mr. Lucas for giving the world this gem and thank you Mr. Coppola for refusing to let the film fail. You both have changed car culture in so many ways and all for it's betterment.
It was a true story for me. I will never forget those warm summer nights down for the service one by one till i was alone with my high school group talking endlessly about vietnam. Then they all left while i stayed and dealt with my loneliness.I dont see how they found the balls to sign up but they had to in a sense because so they took a bus ride out of town which changed their lives considering they had no scholarships or jobs. Their parents couldnt afford anything. Joining up and serving was a must. The only way out of the misery was the service and so no one stayed. They wouldnt take me. I cried from loneliness. I would drive the streets and see no one i knew.
I've heard so many stories about successful films that the studio executives hated and didn't want released.....apparently the execs know nothing about movies! Hated A.G. and wanted it changed? How do they get into such powerful positions knowing nothing?? Amazing. I just had to vent!! Great movie!!!
American Graffiti is a must watch for every American; especially a car guy. I remember exactly where I was when I saw the film - its one of those moments; The green mile is another, forest gump, etc.. Thanks for making it happen; this makes me proud to be an American more so than the government these days.
Saw it when it first came out in 73. The soundtrack was excellent. My favorite movie…
Universally loved movie
One of my favorite movies. Great soundtrack. Love the 58 Impala.

Alfalfa’s engine sounds were used in Smokey and the Bandit since the -77 Trans Am did not sound good enough.
Last movie I saw before I left for bootcamp at a drivein in Memphis. Left the following morning for Parris Island. The year was 1975. Good times...great memories.
I can't remember how many times I went back to see this movie when it opened. Loved it!
You could have told us specs on the car
Just to boob that car around a town for a night would be AWESOME
I've seen that movie more times than I can count, know it line by line. I'm fortunate to have cruised McHenry in Modesto and drove Frates rd in Petaluma.
The Wolfman Jack/Curt radio station scene is one of the greatest scenes ever filmed.....
Lucas's best film! Portraying americana the best! More than a movie!

Certainly the car you want when some punk in a black 55 pulls up and throws you some revs... damn you fiberglass bodied deuce coupe!
Love your Malbec, competes with some of the best I have ever had.
One of my favorite movies ever!
The greatest movie ever made

One of the best films ever. Saw it on TV as a kid and had to wait decades to get it on DVD and then blu-ray.
#wonderful film thank you from a 67 yr old hot rodder in France
