1. American Graffiti
George Lucas' early film set in 1960s, The whole movie is just kids driving around. I love the nostalgia: the girls have giant bobs, the boys have slicked-back hair. What’s not to love?{youtube}dfhYdoVQSJA{/youtube}
2. Blade Runner
It’s a sci-fi film set in dystopian LA. One of those films where there is smoking in every scene, there are flying cars and futuristic '70s computers.{youtube}yWPyRSURYFQ{/youtube}
3. Mosquito Coast
Crazy inventor and his family leave capitalist America and create their own civilisation which, like any society, eventually falls to its demise.4. Indiana Jones And The Raiders Of The Lost Ark
When Indiana is running away from a giant ball, but still has time to pick up his signature hat.{youtube}c6XHLe94SJA{/youtube}
5. Star Wars Episode IV
Harrison Ford is a sexy Han Solo. Best scene is when Han Solo is dressed as a Storm Trooper in disguise; when asked what his name is, he shoots the telephone, then says: "This is a boring conversation any way."{youtube}wtoHjGWc2s8{/youtube}
