American Graffiti

American Graffiti is an intelligent and funny coming-of-age drama about a group of friends who have just graduated from high school. The year is 1962. The place is a small American town with few future prospects. Some of the boys and girls want to go away to go on college, others want to stay, and most of them just do not know what they want.

Without being sentimental and overly nostalgic, George Lucas successfully evokes the mood of the early sixties.

Look for Harrison Ford in a small part.
