AMERICAN GRAFFITI (1973) - MOVIE REACTION - First Time Watching

American Graffiti is a 1973 American coming-of-age comedy-drama film directed by George Lucas, produced by Francis Ford Coppola, written by Willard Huyck, Gloria Katz and Lucas, and starring Richard Dreyfuss, Ron Howard, Paul Le Mat, Charles Martin Smith, Candy Clark, Mackenzie Phillips, Cindy Williams and Wolfman Jack. Harrison Ford and Bo Hopkins also appear. Set in Modesto, California, in 1962, the film is a study of the cruising and early rock 'n' roll cultures popular among Lucas' age group at that time. Through a series of vignettes, it tells the story of a group of teenagers and their adventures throughout a night. Hello everyone and welcome to The Coby Show!

I haven’t seen it yet. I got a watch it soon

You should watch the documentary "Empire of Dreams" on Disney+ It's about the early development of Star Wars how it came to be, and all the technological developments and studio problems they had at the time. It also briefly touches on George's movies before Star Wars, THX-1138, and American Graffiti. It came out in 2004 with a home video release of the then complete Star Wars series on DVD(Ep 1-6)

Hey Coby, I really enjoyed this. I was already a fan of this movie. It was on TV all the time when I was a kid. I was totally thinking about it during your reaction to Dazed and Confused. I knew you’d love this, because you have a nostalgia for older music, and cars. Do have a favorite classic car?

I thoroughly enjoyed Coby's reaction to one of my favorite films. I never saw it at the theater in 1973 but did watch it on home video and a re-release in theaters a few years later. The studio put back the two scenes that were cut for the original theatrical release. George Lucas was not pleased but after the success of "Star Wars", George got his way. The scenes in question were the used car salesman with his high pressure sales pitch on poor Toad (Terry) and the scene with Bob Falfa (Harrison Ford) singing "Some Enchanted Evening" in the '55 Chevy. For the latter, I think the studio's gripe was that they may have had to pay royalties to use the song in the movie. During the "Graffiti" shoot, Ron Howard used the opportunity to speak with George about his plans to attend USC film school, which is George's alma mater. Coincidentally, in one scene at the freshman hop Ron's character just got kicked to the curb after demanding that Laurie (Cindy Williams) dance with him. Her friend says to Steve, "Joe College strikes out!" That was local Bay Area girl Kathleen Quinlan, who went on to have a pretty good career and was directed by Ron in "Apollo 13". There was a resurgence of cruising after "American Graffiti" came out. It was popular in and around both big California cities and smaller rural towns. My former girlfriend's uncle was at one time the town sheriff in rural Colusa, CA and he used to cruise on weekend nights when he was in high school in a ritual that local kids referred to as 'cutting the square', which I guess was the town square. I used to cruise down to Belmont CA in my Chevelle, and my friends in their Camaro, Pontiac GTO, and El Camino. There was an A&W that still employed car hops as a regular thing, and NOT as a promotional gimmick. The two Mel's Drive-Ins in San Francisco were torn down decades ago. I think George filmed "Graffiti" at the Mission St location but we had one in my old neighborhood on Geary Blvd which looked similar. We used to ride over their on our bicycles as kids. I don't recall car hops being employed at the time but we didn't drive at the time so maybe we didn't notice.

Coby, your reaction to "American Graffiti" was, not only, the most enjoyable reaction to this movie that I have watched but, quite possibly, the most enjoyable reaction to any of the, likely 2000+, movie reactions that I have watched. I was 16 in 1973 when this came out and I saw it at a drive-in theater. Small town Iowa, every Friday and Saturday night was just like this movie. Cruising the four lanes, chasing girls, listening to Wolfman Jack on radio station KOIL , drag racing (I had a, beefed up, 1973 Dodge Charger 440 Magnum), hitting the drive-in diner, with carhops on skates, and the drive-in theater. This movie is what is known as a "Slice of Americana". It was the perfect time to be a teen. Not only did we have the music from this movie, we had 70s rock, too. Then, in 1975 it was off to college and I joined a fraternity. That experience was everything that was in the movie "Animal House" except for the finale. Thank you for letting me travel back in time with you. It was glorious!

I was in England when this came out. Drag racing (on the street and on the track) listening to The Beach Boys and our own version of late night radio over CB. I had 71 Cuda. We all thought we should fave been born here. Shoot we got our parts wrapped in National Dragster and ironed it out to read it. This movie - seen it a zillion times and eventually got a 56 Chevy when I moved stateside. Your reaction was awesome! Loved it. If ONJ was in it .. well that would be too much to ask. 💜💜

Oh and I should add. The rear axle thing does work….

Hey sis, I was a 70's kid, and the Wolfman was a real thing and so cool even in my teenage years. He also hosted a rock TV show called Midnight Special https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtUUFRPEApM; ;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdaiukjvzmA ; Although this fil was set for the early 60's when I wa sin school in the 70's in a small eastern town, kids were still just like this, except the music was Led Zeppelin and Elton John , Bowie and The Jackson 5. This also a great doc on America Graffiti hosted by George Lucas.....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j97UZh3dzoQ&t=1875s ; oh the blonde girl in the T-Bird is Susan Somers who became famous in the sit com Three's Company and the little girl was Mackenzie Phillips became a TV star as well in One Day at a Time.
