16) American Graffiti (1973)
Trending
George Lucas' nostalgic American Graffiti ends with a dose of reality. After a night of misadventure for the young, the film leaps into title cards, revealing the futures of each character. The shift jarringly juxtaposes it against the free-spirited tone of the rest of the film, thereby drawing attention to the irreversibility of time and the transience of being an adolescent. The finale is unexpected in its abruptness and poignancy, forcing the audience to remember the bittersweet passage to adulthood from carefree youth.
