I saw the film in the cinema when it first came out and these days, if it's on, I still watch and it's every bit as good as it was in '73. Truly a timeless classic.
Yeah, best film Lucas ever made. Even better than Star Wars. In an interview, he realised this and now knows the mess he made of the Star Wars prequels as well.
I saw it the last day. Phew. Because I was in my last year of school.
One of my top 10 all time easily. I haven't gone to see anything since 2006. Haven't missed much.
Close Encounters and E T were the STUPIDEST movies I ever saw. OMG. Didn't exactly want to see Star Wars either. LOL.
One of my Top 5 movies.
My friends and I had been cruising our local Blvd. in SoCal for a couple of years when AG came out.
We didn’t have a ‘32 Ford Coupe cruising our Blvd., but we had a lot of 60’s rods.
We were living our own version of American Graffiti, and I have a lot of GREAT memories of those much simpler, very fun times.
That film keeps me going. That was My LIfe on screen. Those were great Happy Days and I'm glad and lucky to have lived them.
As a kid who grew up a greaser, I have always loved American Graffiti. It's amazing how the cast went on to some pretty iconic roles and productions. It was no accident that many of them wound up in Ron Howard movies, as he tends to cast old friends (and his brother) in most of his movies.
I met Candy Clark some years back at a toy/trading card convention I attended with my son. As I was walking along, this woman and I started talking, and then I realized who she was. (She was there to sign autographs.) It was a nice moment, as she was so down to earth, and we had a nice chat.
I also met Erin Murphy ("Tabitha" from Bewitched) in much the same way at that show. Beautiful lady, and when I realized who she was, I did her little motion of twitching my nose with my finger, and she reached over and touched my arm, and we laughed. It was a pretty cool moment.
Hard to believe fifty years ago. Went way too fast!
For sure, I remember when it came out I was 16 had my first car and saw it 3 times.
People in their 60’s and up seem to have much more clear memories of their youth.
@@carpe009 A lot of that has tro do with the fact those were great movies and worth remembering.
Take what you will of that
Yup!
My dad could have done an indepth commentary on the cars in the movie.......wish he were still around....miss ya pop.
I met Paul LeMat in 1996 at a Huge '50's 4 day car show called Lead East in Parsippany, N.J. I worked the Show 10 years. Paul was signing autographs at a table. As only Paul LeMat. When it was my turn l asked him if he could sign it John Milner. He signed both names for me. That was COOL!!
That was a fantastic movie!
This was a great movie from my early 70's!
One of my favorite movies of all time! Never get tired of watching it. We are classic car people and have met "Debbie", Candy Clark numerous times at classic car show events around the US. She is such a nice person and loves taking to her fans. She is from Ft. Worth, Texas originally. I am looking forward to seeing Candy again soon. If you know most of the lines in the movie- She autographed her photo for me saying " girls don't pay- guys pay"! LOL!
I was a young teenager back then and really felt I was born 10 years too late. I missed all that American GRAFFITI fun.
As a kid growing up in the seventies and watching fifties movies and listening to rock' n' roll from that era I really thought I missed the party. Years later, I know I did.
The movie took place in 62'. So if you were a teenager you must have been around in 62' to at least witness the time period.
@@matrox I was a teenager when the movie came out. Barely out of diapers in 62
@@billl1127 I remember the time frame like it was yesterday. The year I started kindergarten.
In 1962 we were under the bench in the school basement doing an A-Bomb drill. LOL
Way north in Edmonton, that was training center for aircrews in the war.
candy clark still looks good
The Outsiders!!!! Stay gold pony boy❤❤❤❤❤
I still catch that one every so often. Great movie.
One of the best movies ever made by Hollywood movie industry 🎥🎞️🎞️ ♥️♦️♦️♦️
Born in 1950 and bought my 1957 GM car in 1966 in Texas for $250. Later lived in the Valley near Merced California 1973 to 1975.
Wolfman was known to me before I heard of the movie, which I didn't see until I moved back to Texas.
Always knew it would become an icon classic.
Amazing how Lucas turned his maverick movie into a hit and started or catapulted actors into super famous careers.
The movies return on investment was and still is phenomenal.
Thanks for putting this info together.
I
I met Candy Clark at Autorama in Sacramento about 8 years ago. She was just as beautiful and sweet as I'd hoped she'd be. I briefly interviewed her and got to sit next to her where she was signing autographs and I swear she smelled like a strawberry milkshake!
I loved the movie "Breaking Away "
Still one of my favorite movies
"Where was you in 62"... i wssnt born at tge time but it my favourite film. Wall to wall rock'n'roll music and John Miller's 32 5window deuce coupe - the fastest thing in the valley
Great fun... watched it again last month.
Love the sound track! Such an innocent time. I lament its passing.
I saw it at a movie theatre, I was fifteen, I thought it was great. My favorite coming of age movie was summer of forty- two
One of my all time favorite movies! For one of your upcoming videos I would like to see how some the cast has changed from the movie volunteers. Another one of my faves!
I remember watching it at the drive-in i was thirteen. I thought it was one of the best movies ever ♥️✌️😎
I was 13 in '73. AG is an ATF. Seen it over 10 times and love every character and the cars. For another good coming of age in this period I liked "Breaking Away". or "My Bodyguard".
American Graffiti was about us ripping up and down the streets in our hot rods. i to am 75 years of age. Sure was great times. It’s funny but every time I watch it I see things that I missed or I didn’t see time before. Great movie. Our lives have went bye as fast as our cars.
One of my fave COA movies is Stand by Me. So many reminders of what I did growing up. American Graffiti was one of my fave COA movies for sure. Hard to choose a fave, but I thought I'd suggest what I just did.......
I meant Candy Clark twice Paul Le mat three times and Bo Hopkins one time all three were very nice people all three autographed around my wall they're not going anywhere ..also I was ask if i was on a desert island and had only 1 movie to watch.....AMERICAN GRAFFITI
I Drove my '49 Merc to the base theater at Ft monroe VA to see this classic ... the car got a lot of looks when the show let out.
Nice. 'Rebel Without a Cause' my favourite film of all time.
In 1973 I took my 55 Chevrolet with my 327 mill; 12 to 1 TRW high dome's, 202 heads, Edelbrock Trantula intake, Holley 600 double pumper, Mallory Dule Point, Hooker Headers, Thrush straight pipes and a couple of buddies to the VFW Drive-In to catch this cool car culture movie. All through out the picture I kept hearing, Hey 55, "PEEL OUT" "Burn Rubber", "Light 'em Up", "Smoke them tires baby". And you know when the movie was over, I left a 9 alarm smoke show, burnt posi black rubber on to that VFW Parkway that lasted halfway through into the winter! Fond memories indeed.
favourite film of all time
My favorite film! Saw it when it first came out and MANY times since then.
american graffitti was my all time favourite film
In 1973 I was 9 loved this movie because of the cars
Funny…. I still am in’62. Fabulous film in 73 that changed my life.
AG is my fav.....growing up in So cal 19660's what else could it be?
Dazed and confused is my favorite. Very similar to my high school 😊
Terry McGovern was one of my fave DJs on the old KSAN
I loved listening to KSAN.
I loved this Movie and Paul LeMat was my favorite! He was such a hottie!!!
Agree! Way better than Harrison Ford!
@@kimberlyvoss321 definitely!
its just a Great movie
My how time flies when you’re not having fun .
Best. Movie. Ever!
Great video! The remastered movie is currently screening on select theaters today, Aug 30th
Nostalgia Hit, I really love your videos. They are very informative, entertaining and it's evident that you put a lot of work into these. Thank you for sharing them.
Same Same😊😊😊😊😊
Candy Clark and Kathleen Quinlin look so hot in their update photos.
I got the chance to meet the guy who played jonmhn Milner at a car show that 32 Ford was at as well
Im same ahe as most in movie. Ive got several copies and still watch it. Coolest. Have talked to many of cast members over years
I really loved Candy Clark in this movie and others she has done. She is so cute and gorgeous ❤
I love American Grafetti. When it came out, the streets were loaded with muscle cars and hot rods. The cruise up and down the main drag. I only wish someone would do a modern version with local hangouts. The street racing course that a bit illegal.
Thoroughly enjoyed the video just as I loved the movie. How come there is one actor whose age is unknown?
AMERICAN GRAFFITI IS THE MOVIE THAT HOT ME HOOKED ON CARS AND STREET RACING
Time go's by way to fast can't believe a lot of people passed away! What a great film!!!!
S*** I'm surprised how many are alive and well lol
Ron Howard became a great director after being a wonderful actor! Ron Howard knows the movie business!
Saw it at the Briggsmore theatre in Modesto the week it was released.
Cruised McHenry on the first Graffiti Night in my HOPDUP '65 Mustang convertible
Enjoyed video!!
I always wondered what happened to the cast of the movie
Hair
And
Jesus Christ Superstar
Bob in Michigan It's really amazing to me that nobody bought the '32 Ford for that price after the movie had been out for a while, and either cruised with it or just stuck it in storage -- knowing that it would just keep getting more valuable as time went on.
The family went to the movies when I was about 13. One side had this and the other side was showing "The Sting". I chose this and watched alone as I was both a budding gearhead and into "retro" long before it was popular.
For a future vid, do the cast of "Pretty on Pink", another iconic 'coming of age' pic.
Hi Nostalgia Hit! Your videos are so awesome! And you’re my favorite RUclipsrs in the whole world! You’re amazing 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤💖💖💖💞💞💞💜💜💜😘😘💙💙💙💙
And also, in 2 days is Murray Cook’s birthday. If you’re wondering who Murray Cook is, he was the Original red wiggle that was in the tv show called: The Wiggles in the ‘90’s before retiring in 2012. And he’s was in the band called The Soul Movers.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Ps. I love the way you hearted my comments every time you upload new videos! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
And my favorite coming of age movies I like the best are The Outsiders, The Breakfast Club, Mrs. Doubtfire, Mermaids, The Hitcher, and Grandview USA!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
That is really a recent photo of McKenzie Phillips?! Wow!
My favorite coming of age movies are stand by me and Boyz in the hood.
I loved the movie. The ending was chilling and spectacular. I refuse to admit that American Graffiti Two exists. As far as I’m concerned, the nerdy kid died in Vietnam.
You ever notice that “Falfa’s girl” just disappears and it’s never explained what happened to her?
So did " Richie Cunningham's " older brother on "Happy Days " . In BOTH instances , Ron Howard was in the immediate vicinity just prior to the unacknowledged disappearances ! Just sayin ' !!!
I think he just rotated chicks in and out of his car.
The original Dazed and Confused. Epic!
Suzanne Somers just died last 16th of October of breast cancer. RIP Suzanne.
Summer of '42.
50 years, no, not possible, then, Happy Days was a spin off
And dont forget Grease
You can see the "7 degrees of Ron Howard" how his experience on Graffiti and hi relationships with so many of the Actors that he peppered them throughout his later work.
Life is too short.
Cindy Williams was so cute!
I think Cindy Williams passed away earlier this year.
Paul Le Mat is an American hero, and doesn't deserve to be clickbait. However, you did mention his contribution as a Navy veteran, so that's good.
Anyway, I had the pleasure of speaking with Mr. Le Mat for a while at a car show in Riverside CA, about 2009. From what I could tell in that short time, he seems like one of the nicest people I've ever met. Really. And I've met other more, and less of the famous, as I have worked in Hollywood to a small degree.
Debralee Scott absolutely rocks. Very underrated actress and comedian. And where is Eddy Stief ??? He was a favorite of mine too.
This picture and "The Last Picture Show" have to be the two greatest coming of age movies ever.
What a damned shame. They just break our hearts.
No fluff just to the point information
Very good.
Update: Debora Lee Scott was hot in Mary Harman Mary Hartman TV show. That show was funny as hell but underated.
It's been a long! 50 years.
Great Actor!
Stand baby Me was pretty good and so was Breaking Away which is very underrated.
Outsiders was another.
Breaking away is a totally forgotten masterpiece. Dennis Quaid's debut, if I remember rightly.
Harrison Ford. Was a Roadie for the Doors. And hung out with Jim Morrison. Before he became a actor.
Ron Howard even came farther since being Opie Taylor which I will always think of him as.
I think Debbie Does Dallas was the best coming of age video at the time it "came" out
I was only a year old when this awesome movie came out. Lol.
sick movie
My favorite coming of age movie is My Bodyguard
Harrison ford--draft dodger--in the same boat as jane fonda,...Paul "John Milner" was an exact double for my best friend Jim, LOVED his 32, he did an excellent job!...Terry the toad, he played such a good spaz....Dreyfus, excellent actor....we saw the movie when it came out....can't believe those actors have all aged (means i did too)
Also had replaced the front seat with bucket seats from 1963 as lmpala it was awesome car 348 engine had lots of power
Kathleen Quinlan and I share the same birthday, November 19th. But she's a little older than I am.
It’s too bad George Lucas didn’t add the women in the final part where it said what happened to the characters. I read that he regretted it.
I think his biggest regret is making those godamn awful Star Wars prequels.
Bo Hopkins was in that classic B-Horror movie Uncle Sam 😂😂
All good actors.
The other "coming of age" movie made in '70's for me was also "where were you in '62?": Animal House
In 1967 l bought one exactly like this 1958 lmpala had 348 engine 3 speed standard on tree and also white .l paid 550 DLS like 60 a mo. In Dallas Texas l am 75 now and how l wished l would've kept it
Hollywood Knights was a good one too.
Great film. I also liked The Outsiders and The Breakfast Club.
Favorite Coming-of-age movie - Man from Snowy River
May I suggest... The Summer of '42
With the knowledge that the car had a 55 chevy rear axle it's now easy to understand why the car was never shown burning the tires furiously. Such as a second gear clutch drop at 4000 rpm. That 55 chevy axle would have stripped the teeth off it's gears immediately.
We all ran dana 60's and preferred a 440 over a street hemi. Easier to tune and more streetable and with the right cam and rear was a great street car. Beat anything chevy or Ford put out. Especially when you dropped it in a Dart.
You forgot to mention that Deborah Lee Scott was in Welcome Back Kotter as Hotsy totsy
Summer of 42 with Jennifer O'neil. The best.
Don't forget Ron Howard played Opie Taylor on the Andy griffin show
Does anyone else think that Ron Howard looks like Afred E Newman
