I always enjoy Mike Newall's 'Into the West' as just a really lovely, moving, funny, family film, though it rarely gets shown as is no longer available on most formats.
If you haven’t seen it and you like early 1960s American cars and music and spotting lots of major Holywood/movie industry stars at the outset of their careers or letting the penny drop where and what certain references/things are all about then this is the film for you.
As a side, I see Jaguar pictured one of their new cars outside a Mel’s Diner the other day...
On the off chance I discovered tonight that Netflix has American Graffiti in its catalogue. I had to use the search function and type more or less the full film title and up it popped...Happy days, or sort off, because Ron Howard is one of the main characters, pre his role on the series with the Fonz...

Recently watched it on Netflix - captures a mood and atmosphere. Harrison Ford looks very young.

Also has the rareity of being a good George Lucas directed movie.
I must say some of the films mentioned in this thread are really not under-rated? For example I remember Once upon a time in America, Into the wild, Mulholland Dr. are all highly rated and generally considered as very good films. Just now I looked them up on IMDB they are all rated above 8!
Can’t remember the sound track but the film reminds me of going to see it at the Roxy at Blackheath with a young lady I used to know whose mum worked as an usherette there and we got in for free
