Title: Happy 40th Anniversary to American Graffitti....
Post by: cjshaker on August 24, 2013, 09:44:59 PM
40 years ago this month, American Graffitti was released. One of my top 3 favorite movies, it left a huge impression on me. From Milners cool character, to the drag race scene at the end, to the music....it just floored me as a kid. Anybody who knows the movie cars probably knows the '55 Chevy that Falfa drove is the same car used in Two Lane Blacktop. I loved the realistic drag scene showing Milner blowing him off the line as Falfa went up in smoke. What a movie....what a bitchin' movie  :)

A huge thanks to Francis Ford and George Lucas for creating one of the best movies ever, and arguably the best car flicks to ever be produced.

Also one of my favorites.  The cast was basically unknown at the time, except for Ron Howard, but Harrison Ford, Suzanne Summers, Richard Dreyfus, and a few others went on to standout careers in show biz.  To say nothing of George Lucas.  And Wolfman Jack!
