About "American Graffiti"
1h50min - Coming of Age, Comedy, Drama - Rated PG-13 - English
Where were you in '62? Before there was Star Wars, George Lucas directed this hot-rod of a picture starring Richard Dreyfus, Ron Howard, Harrison Ford, and many more. The film was nominated for all the major Oscars, and would prove pivotal in launching careers for Lucas and the stars.
American Graffiti is a classic coming-of-age story set against the 1960s backdrop of hot rods, drive-ins and rock n’ roll. This nostalgic look back follows a group of teenagers as they cruise the streets on their last summer night before college. Nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, American Graffiti features the howling sounds of Wolfman Jack and an unforgettable soundtrack with songs by Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, The Beach Boys and Bill Haley & His Comets.
