American Graffiti is one of the best, if not the best teen movie of all time. It is presented in a series of intertwining storylines, which is a popular film technique nowadays. Let's say, every film that has multiple intertwining storylines nowadays owes everything to this film.

The plot seems to revolve Ron Howard and Cindy Williams relationship problems. Though they had different names, they seemed …

Separated by nine years, the two films offer informative as well as entertaining perspectives on their respective youth cultures. George Lucas …
