American Graffiti

So I watched George Lucas's 1973 film American graffiti. Well was it a classic, well yeah why not. Let me start by saying that a movie watched in 2010 from 11973, that takes place in the early 1960's can throw a person off but having a memorable cast helps. Lets face it the movie has Han Solo before he was Han Solo Mr. Harrison Ford, one of today's biggest directors, Mr Richie Cunningham, I mean Opie Taylor, I mean Ron Howard, and the still relevant but barely Richard Dreyfus. It also has a pre incestuous relationship Mckenzie Phillips (or possibly not yuck!), Shirley from Laverne and Shirley, and Suzanne Sommers. What did it for me about this movie more than anything else was both the basic story of boys at the precipice of manhood, and the soundtrack that for oldies were far more golden than moldy. I likes this flick and don't see why kids of today wouldn't enjoy it if they gave it a chance.
