Set in a time before the Kennedy assassination, Vietnam, and other events where everything changed, "American Graffiti" captures the last hours of innocence and youth in a timeless teen comedy filled with a copious amount heart and nostalgia.

George Lucas' first major success before Star Wars probably pleases a lot of baby boomers or those nostalgic for the 1960s. But it's pretty boring. Just a hundred minutes of future A-list actors driving around their parents' cars and pretending to be college-bound youths.

Sublime, iconic and ultimately accurate portrayal of those rebel teen generations. Lucas explores a unique area here before reaching sci-fi stardom, and I definitely approve this brilliant triumph of a success. Ask those who rode nice cars and went to restaurants often during the 70s. The genre is officially dead (John Hughes was the last guy to get lost inside the minds of pop-cultured youths), so we are actually left with these classic masterpieces, especially with so many goddamn American Pies floating around! 92/100

I liked the idea of this more than the actual movie itself. I guess the point is that not everything that ends will end on a particularly interesting or exciting note and I understand that, but I just didn't feel as attached to any of the characters as much as the movie might have wanted me to.

One of the best high school films. A coming-of-age period piece that was a hit in it's time that is still a fun and entertaining flick today. Lucas should make more movies of this quality.

Remember when George Lucas used to make good movies? This film is a classic - full of nostalgia, youthful awakening, laugh-out-loud funny moments, and an ode to the changing times of American history.

I admit, this is more of my dad's favorite movie than mine, but I can't fault the film. This is a true classic coming-of-age picture with memorable characters, fast cars and great music. What more can you ask for?

I never thought that Ron Howard would star in such a great movie. But I was wrong. This is one of the best coming-of-age movies I've seen.

A classic. One night's look at the lives of a group of teens.

I admit that the first few times I saw this movie I did not think it was special. Now, that I am more of a fan of the 50's I love it. Ron Howard and the rest are great. It?s a Good story that I am sure everyone can relate to.
