trailer:
Roger Ebert gives it 4 out of 4 stars and says, "“American Graffiti” is not only a great movie but a brilliant work of historical fiction; no sociological treatise could duplicate the movie’s success in remembering exactly how it was to be alive at that cultural instant." 96% of Rotten Tomatoes critics gave it a positive review.

I'm seeing more butterflies now in late summer than I've seen before.

...sadly, I've never seen it.
ReplyDeleteIt's worth watching, and not just for the music. It illustrates a moment in time.
DeleteClassic and great music
ReplyDeleteSuch fun music!
DeleteI loved that score. It was a terrific film.
ReplyDeleteIt captured the times, didn't it.
DeleteI saw it in the theatres when it came out, and then I tried to watch it a few years back It's a well made film, but I thought it was a little slow moving. I guess we've all become part of the "faster is better" lifestyle. But speaking of slow, those reflections caught my eye. I've had great butterflies this year also.
ReplyDeleteThe bird feeder reflections :)
DeleteA classic! Great sound.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your patio pics, my friend. :)
Thanks :)
DeleteIn 1962 I was living in London and just 2 years away from graduation. Nice memories! Valerie
ReplyDeleteSweet!
DeleteIt's a film I've not seen.
ReplyDeletePleased you have been seeing butterflies, I like your photograph.
All the best Jan
Thanks :) Watching the butterflies has been a real treat.
DeleteWe've a few butterflies, but not too many.
ReplyDeleteNot many here, either. I remember when butterflies were thick at the flowers :(
DeleteI was born 10 years later, but this sounds like an interesting, wild, cool movie! Also interesting pronouncation. We stress the "t", you the "f".
ReplyDeleteHow interesting about the pronunciation!
DeleteI've always wanted to see this film. Sadly, if it's on Netflix, I never will.
ReplyDeleteI love your patio garden. You are SO lucky. I can't leave water on my patio because it just encourages mosquitoes. Mosquitoes LOVE me. If I am in a group, I am the only one the mosquitoes go for!
Maybe it'll move to Prime...
DeleteOh, if I didn't dump/refill the water dishes every day the mosquitoes would take over. They're bad enough as it is.
