I can’t quite endorse this as the icon many claim it to be, but it is quite well done with excellent performances. Other than that, dated.

Cool little slice of life, 50s throwback flick. George Lucas would’ve been a very interesting filmmaker if Star Wars didn’t blow up.

Transports you right to the 60s accompanied by a great soundtrack. Great

Want to see something besides Star Wars that Lucas did? Look no further. This is a really fun one night coming of age film. Baby Ford too.

Too many other high school movies have came since that are considerably better, hurts the rewatch ability. Still, gets cred for being 1st

Probably would have been better appreciated when it was first released, but it’s still an interesting and engaging coming of age film.
