American Graffiti filming locations + 40

This! Very cool

amazing how a lot of those places look nearly unchanged.

One of those films you never get tired of, true classic. Funny, that era was just 10-11 years, seemed like a life time before it was filmed, now 40 years later and seems like just the other day. Must get on Blue Ray, note to self.

We visited Petaluma on the 30th anniversary whilst over visiting our daughter who lived in SF. It was great to wander around the town & spot all the locations! Even went & laid rubber on Paradise Road! (Defraitas road)

How did you do that since, he just published it 10-3-13 ?

I've seen then and now videos of the filming locations for the movie before. Could be in the DVD documentaries.

Thanks for posting that Big Dad, one of my favorite Movies for sure, that and Hollywood Knights, ah the good ole days!

I've seen it dozens of times,but I watched the drag race sequence about 5 times last night. I just love it.

That video is awesome. I wonder what another 40 years will bring?

Saw that video a while back. It's still cool.

That was a cool video to watch! I love stuff like this. Showing what places were years ago, and what they look like now. I do the same around where I live. I bought a book about the local history, and several places that were around in the early 1900's are still around, some in great some, some not.

Anyways, thanks for this great video!

That was a great use of 13:24 today... Notice how much brighter the traffic lights are now?

I have a poster of a production pic of Mel's with Falfa's '55 and Milner's Duece. Had it signed by Bo Hopkins, Candy Clark, Cindy Williams and Paul le Mat.

Inspiration for the shoebox.

Yeah........cool.
