American Graffiti (1973)

About American Graffiti (1973)

This is the 50th anniversary of that rarest of rare Hollywood beasts, a George Lucas directed film that isn’t Sci-fi or Fantasy. In this ode to his own teenage years in and around Modesto, California, Lucas introduces us to a group of high school graduates in 1962, cruising for adventure out on the strip.

Notes: (PG) Features moderate sex references and outdated views on women, as well as foul language.
