A time in history, encapsulated in one wild night. American Graffiti is the most nostalgic film ever made. It pines for the past so romantically, and for baby boomers living in the early 70s, that was the only world worth living in. As for me, and people like me, I have no earthly idea what it was like living in the early 60s. I can't say that I could relate to this movie, but for damn sure, I sat back and let it wash over me. Experiencing this film is practically dreamlike. You totally forget where you are. You're just with all of the characters. You're riding the cars, walking the streets and listening to the music. That sweet, fantastic music. You don't watch American Graffiti, you live it.
