| | 'More American Graffiti' - Laserdisc Review [SMR] |
| | I only dwell on 'More American Graffiti' because the only disc available is a poorly-cropped version, with an alternate musical soundtrack (not all of the copyrights were approved, so some music was re-scored for the 1991 video release). | | | What’s so frustrating is that 'More American Graffiti' was released on tape and disc months after MCA/Universal proudly announced that they would henceforth be letterboxing EVERY widescreen movie on disc. | | | One of the most requested titles in the please-remaster-and-letterbox file, the new widescreen disc of 'American Graffiti' is a glorious sight. |

| | Amazon.com: 41 Original Hits From The Soundtrack Of American Graffiti: Music: Various Artists |
| | "American Graffiti" was one of the first movies to use wall-to-wall pop music, and Lucas used the songs to underscore or counterbalance his nostalgic high school fantasy set in '62. | | | This is a fun soundtrack album to listen to. | | | "Graffiti", therefore, features three times the songs of a typical movie, since the labels had not yet noticed that they could rake it in by licensing songs to Hollywood, and stands as the best collection of the music that defined the late 50's, early 60's. |

| | SH Forums - Was the CD of American Graffiti NoNoised??? |
| | The version of the American Graffiti soundtrack 2 CD set I have was remastered by Bill Inglot's team in 1993 and does have the Wolfman Jack overdubs (MCAD2-8001) and is a BMG copy I bought used. | | | I just wish they had done the same with the CD release of the FM soundtrack -- that one's so sonically dead and lifeless that it had to be nothing more than a lift from a multi-generation LP compilation tape. |

| | Strange Magic: Pop Soundtracks |
| | American Graffiti, where the music would seem to be of paramount importance to Lucas' cross-section of seven California teenagers, is somewhat trickier. | | | Mary Harron's musical voice can be found in I Shot Andy Warhol and old issues of Punk magazine; American Psycho's soundtrack is meticulously and presciently programmed by Bateman, as precise a pop critic as he is serial killer. | | | Every kid listens to Wolfman Jack's radio show incessantly, they go to their school homecoming and dance to "At the Hop" and "The Stroll," and their dress, mannerisms, and talk reflect the teenage worlds vividly mapped out in songs by Chuck Berry, Eddie Cochran, and Dion DiMucci. |

| | You take a famous soundtrack that has an influence factor of +1000, disregard the fact that all the music was 50s doo-wop or rock and get a bunch of modern-day punk, surf and "misc" artists together to recreate that soundtrack in their own special ways. | | | The soundtrack in question is American Graffiti, and all 41 songs are covered here in the original running order and in varying degrees of quality. | | | Some would say that the out of key "harmony vocals" on "She's So Fine," by Bully, give it the DIY points needed to make it truly cool. |

| | Many of the songs are served up by legendary outlaw disk jockey Wolfman Jack who appears on the radio and as himself. | | | They frequently function as background music to define the emotions, dreams and frustrations of the group, ranging over almost a decade (from 1955-1962). | | | The film is seamlessly laced with a classic rock-n-roll soundtrack composed of over forty hits (often emanating from cruising car radios, or the school dance's record player). |

| | Bad Subjects: Love is the Devil Soundtrack |
| | Saturday, August 14 1999, 6:29 PM I think this is a wonderful soundtrack, the operative word being "soundtrack." No matter how good the record sounds, it always seems to be reminding the listener that it is meant to accompany a film. | | | With the exception of musicals, most of which had a long history prior to their translation into movie form, it was rare for a soundtrack to become a commodity with a life of its own, independent of the film for which it was produced. | | | No matter how compelling the music that resulted from their efforts, it was clearly subordinate to the film for which it was composed. |

| | Warm, funny and jam-packed with memorable characters, scenes and music, "American Graffiti "was a huge crowd pleasing success. | | | But while that technique has evolved to become a craven marketing tool ancillary to the movie, in "American Graffiti" the music permeates the airwaves as a living, breathing character. | | | And he put a lot of writing on the wall in "American Graffiti." As John Milner bemoans from the throne of his ‘32 Ford Coupe, the Beach Boys on the radio sound suspiciously like the beginning of the end of Rock ‘n’ Roll. |

| | Director George Lucas knows this time well and steeps the film in music, colloquialisms, behaviour and those little details which make the difference. | | | The soundtrack also deserves mention for being packed full of classic tunes, an exercise which engulfed 10% of the budget. | | | The added joy of seeing a host of actors during the time before they became stars increases the nostalgic feel, since now these very same actors are old and past such youthful impetuosity. |
