In regard to American Graffiti, I probably shouldn't have put that bit in
the post. It didn't really have much to do with what I was saying
earlier. I was just thinking about how the 80's really had no culture of
their own other than the punk culture of the early eighties. Without a
common culture of the young, there couldn't be a nostalgia movie. What is
there to be nostalgic about that could be done in a movie way such that a
generation would identify with it? If there's a nostalgia movie for the
80's, it's Heathers, which is not really nostalgia.
I'll reply to the first part of your post tomorrow, when I have more time.
