It’s classic car night at the Silver Screen Drive-in on Friday, June 25 at 9:30 pm. Polish your vintage car and drive into “American Graffiti”, a nostalgic look at the 60’s from George Lucas.

“Where Were You in ’62?” On the last day of summer vacation in 1962, high school grads Curt, Steve, Terry and John cruise the streets of Modesto, California in their hot rods as Bill Haley and the Comets, the Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, and more pump from their radios. It’s the last night before their grown-up lives begin, and Steve’s high-school sweetheart, a bratty adolescent, and an unknown beautiful blonde girl in a Thunderbird provide all the excitement they can handle.A funny, nostalgic, and bittersweet look at the last days of innocence, all to the soundtrack of the most memorable rock ‘n’ roll hits of the era.

“A funny-serious movie with gorgeous cars and colours and an amazing feel for the artefacts of an instantly vanished era.” – Empire Magazine. Rated 96% on Rotten Tomatoes.
