More American Graffiti is a 1979 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Bill L. Norton. It is the sequel to the 1973 film American Graffiti. Whereas the first film followed a group of friends during the summer evening before they set off for college, this film shows where the characters from the first film end up a few years later.

For films that are heavily scored with popular music selections, American Graffiti is tough to beat. The Big Chill and Forrest Gump are good as well. Heavy Metal and Vision Quest are underrated in this area. Almost Famous, Dazed and Confused and Detroit Rock City come to mind here.

For scores without popular music, either relying on classical or music composed primarily for the film, obviously Star Wars and Jaws leap out. Blade Runner's score is outstanding, too (Vangelis), as is the score for Casablanca and Last of the Mohicans.

Any of the Mark Knopfler soundtracks like Local Hero for instance.

Forrest Gump
Guardians of the Galaxy
Dazed and Confused

the answer will forever be dazed and confused
