Think ''[[Dazed and Confused]]'' set in [[The Fifties]] (or pre-hippie era [[The Sixties|Sixties]] if you want to be technical about it.)
 
'''''American Graffiti''''' is a 1973 [[Coming of Age]] film based on director [[George Lucas]]' memories of growing up in [[The Fifties]] (actually the very early Sixties, which had much more in common with [[The Fifties]] than [[The Sixties]]) and he thus manages to cram in as much [[Popular History]] as possible. Of course, [[Seinfeld Is Unfunny|he was one of the first to do this]]. The film was produced by Lucas's friend and fellow filmmaker [[Francis Ford Coppola]], who was just coming off his success with directing ''[[The Godfather]]''. It follows a bunch of [[High School]] kids as they spend the night after their graduation goofing around, getting into trouble and contemplating their futures all while listening to [[Nothing but Hits]]. No, [[Random Events Plot|there really is no plot]]. Get over it.
 
The movie has a lesser-known sequel, ''More American Graffiti'', which was set in [[The Sixties]] and supposedly "made all of ten cents".
