Rule #1: don't sell off a DVD until the blu-ray is officially announced. At least that's my #1 rule.

Wow I just noticed this! Probably in the top 5 that I want released. Saw this when I was a kid and still remember it vividly. If I only would have known who George Lucas was at the time and what he would achieve wow

There was film from 1978 called "Hometown USA" that was very similar to Gaffiti, it was more geared at older audiences as it was rated R and was directed by Max Baer Jr. of Beverly Hillbillies fame.

Here is a very hard piece of trivia: one actor appeared in BOTH American Graffiti and Hometown USA, who was he???

buc18 · 02-26-2011, 04:27 PM

so is there any official info as to when this gets released?

Crimson King · 02-26-2011, 04:39 PM

I wonder if Universal will release the version with original sky backgrond in the beginning the film?

I wouldn't count on it, but it'd be nice.

I've got More American Graffitti on DVD, I haven't watched it yet as I didn't want to ruin my Graffitti experience. Is it worth a watch or should I leave well enough alone?

Sixx · 02-26-2011, 09:24 PM

Awww, this will be a SWEET buy

Everyone's taste is different. Having said that, I didn't care for it.

Was the original unaltered sky version ever available on home video?

I miss Wolfman Jack, hard to believe he's been gone for over 15 years, I used to listen to his radio show back in the old days.
