If you loved Breaking Away, try American Graffiti

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Breaking Away, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What American Graffiti is

Modesto, summer evening, a Chevy 32 Deuce Coupe idles. High school graduates cruise the strip, neon lights reflecting off polished cars, friends laughing and music playing. Lucas's coming-of-age portrait is most alive at dusk.
