Yeah, it'll be on again tonight... Right after the sequal... More American Graffiti... Which is on right now.. Check your listings.. I think it's on Comcast ch. 295 or 395???
I watch my flat screen digital TV the traditional way, with an antenna on the roof. guess I'll miss it
I'm getting it on "THIS" ch 4.2 here in motown... I also don't have cable... I don't need more bills..
It ain't that bad... I don't mind watchin' the drag races.. And Milner's girlfriend... She's a honey!!..
Huh ???????? That was one of the best times in my life......just out of HS, dating a lot of chicks, scoring some beer or wine every once in a while, fast cars............what's not to like ? Don
We watched a good part of it and the beginning of the sequel . I hadn't seen the original since I was a loud. I really need to get the DVD soon. They edited the shit out of it.
It's on THIS twin cities ch. 385 on charter cable. Sent from my DROID device using the TJJ mobile app
I have the DVDs of American Graffiti and Two Lane Blacktop on my Christmas list this year. That 55 was the star of both movies! Don
Thats to graet movies!!! i just went and saw this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlToFDc6OlA Its so much great racing stuff! And it's so funny that chick Milner tries to hook up with, ad the biginning she talks so weird Jibber-jabber, that might be from Island, then they find a guy from Norway, and then she starts to talk Danish. LOL non the less, a fantastic movie. I already have the double box with both American Graffiti movies, Hollywood knights and 2 lan black-top is on the way. Is there any other Most-Haves of Hot Rod, streetracing and dragster movies?
7 second love affair, The Californian kid. More American Graffiti is a great film! But then I'm a hot rodder that served in the Army and is a HUGE Janis Joplin fan!! Doc.
I allready owns Bullit, Le Mans and both new and the old vanishing point! Why is it they want to blow all those cool cars up at the end, that just breaks something inside my body that feels so much for these cars. I also found The last American hero on the web and #3 the Dale Earnhart story, Junkman and Tucker. the dale earnhart movie is taking forever!!! Is there a move by the name Hot Rod? or is that an documentary?
Buy the way, the two cars that is stalling to buy Milner the time to stay in race. The one is a '57 Bel Air/210 post, but the other one puzzels me? Frankenstiend hot rod dragster thing?
There is two movies called 'Hot Rod' get the movie with the Willy's in it AVOID the docco!! (Unfortunately the docco is called 'Hot Rod the Movie', the good one is just called 'Hot Rod'.) Some more..... Running on empty, Midnite spares, Hot Rods to hell, The Gumball Rally, Both 'Cannonball Runs', Winning, Dragstrip Girl, Grand Prix, Mad Max 1,2and3, two dragracing doccos, American Nitro, The Kings. There are many more I cant think of right now!! Doc.
Great Cannonball run 1 and 2, I have seen both. Winning (feat. Poul Newmann) and Grand Prix (feat. James Garner). Cannonbal got a different title over here, Direkt translatted to: Out for a ride with the crazy. There is for ones one movie that aint got a completly retarded title in Danish. I'll try finding some off the others.
by the way, wirh you being Aussie, did you see Road games? I like that one, but truckeing movies is always good ;-)
I also have California Kid and the original Gone in 60 Seconds one my Christmas list. Not too long ago saw Smoky and the Bandit on the cable, makes you want to have a Fire Bird with a screamin chicken on the hood. Those cars were new when I was 20. Don
More trivia. The actress Anna Bjorn that played the Icelandic beauty is the person that dropped the dime on Whitey Bulger for a 2 million dollar reward.
Aha, but to have been there is the best! Even in Canada we had our cars and burger joints and hang-outs. If only we had realized how precious those memories have become! Oh well, there has to be more!!!!!!
