Realizing all high school movies are a ripoff of American Graffiti

Watching it now. Dazed and Confused is basically a remake.

I've refuse to watch this movie. I can't believe Sir Alec Guinness did. Were there pretty young men in it?

It looks like just a pastiche.

What about Blackboard Jungle and To Sir With Love?

Funny thing about American Graffiti - if you made an equivalent "nostalgic" movie today, it would be set in...2010.

I love it. I'm probably one of the few people who prefer it to Star Wars when comparing the works of George Lucas.

The John Hughes canon is a ripoff of AG? I don’t see it…

The line from AG to The Breakfast Club is straight, bold, and unbroken.

R6 a 'canon' is a collection or list of sacred books accepted as genuine.
