There is a sequel, but I’ve never seen it.

It’s sort of like Grease 2 in that it doesn’t exist to most people.

I have seen the sequel. Not too good but it covers what happened to the characters. Toad and Debbie got married Steve and Laurie got married. John Milner was killed by a drunk driver and Curt moved to Canada. That's all I remember.

I like the sequel. I have the DVD set that contains both movies.

My dad had the soundtrack album, as a kid I listened many times before I even watched the movie.

Happy Golden Anniversary, American Graffiti. It features a pre-Happy Days Ron Howard in a classic film.

I like American Graffiti, I've watched it several times. I remember the first time I saw it, I was a little confused about Wolfman Jack -- I didn't know about how long his career had been. Also, since then I've become a bigger fan of Cindy Williams, so that's added to my interest in the film.

Don't get me wrong, it's definitely no where as good as the original. But, I like that it shows us the characters in their adult lives, it wasn't just a rehash of the first movie.

It is definitely up there amongst my favorite movies of all time. I must have seen it ten or fifteen times.

Mackenzie Phillips is so funny and adorable! And I love the way that Milner finally warmed up to her and made her feel special:)
