TCM Party spotlights More American Graffiti (1979)

Up next, Paul Le Mat, Cindy Williams and Ron Howard in American Graffiti, 1973.

Wait…is that HARRISON FORD? 🤠 Yep. Bob Falfa is Harrison Ford, four years before Han Solo. Acting wasn't exactly paying the bills yet: Ford was also working professionally as a carpenter. #TCMParty #AmericanGraffiti ^JW

I suspect that one's view of American Graffiti (@tcmtv.bsky.social at 8) pivots on one's sense of its apparent nostalgia and pop-culture mythology; I remember the first time I saw it, not long after it came out, and it struck me as devastating, critical, filled not with longing but regret:...

The movie theater is playing Dementia 13, a Francis Ford Coppola film. #TCMParty

just want to add that when i met the wolfman, i planned to ask for his autograph. but he was so down to earth and friendly, it didn't feel right. these many years later, the memory is worth more to me than an autograph. #tcmparty

“I could just ‘urp.’” Gosh, it’s been a long time since I’ve heard or used that word. Very 60s/70s. #MoreAmericanGraffiti #TCMParty

Especially if you have Closed Captioning on, you might have noticed that the radio station's callsign is XERB. That was one of the (in)famous Mexican "Border Blaster" radio stations that would blast their signal at five times the signal strength of American stations. #AmericanGraffiti #TCMParty

I like that Milner’s license plate is THX. #TCMParty #AmericanGraffiti
