Summary: BEST SURFING FILM EVER!!!
Review: This movie is about everything surfing has to offer: FRIENDSHIP, PARTIES, MEXICO, BEER, LOYALTY, AND GROWING UP. It chronicles the lives of 3 surf buddies throughout the 60's and 70's. Big
Wednesday also explores the ups and downs of surfing. It's a very moving film especially if you live in SoCal and you have a lot of surfing buddies. To me, this movie is sort of a window that shows what will happen with me and my friends in the future as we grow up.

Summary: SURF MOVIE OF THE CENTURY!
Review: This movie is regarded as a surf classic and rightly so. Slickly produced, consisting of a series of vignettes over 13 years it gives a non-surfing person a revealing insight into the surf culture. The still-thorny issue of the Vietnam War is dealt with and the transition from the swinging sixties into the seventies is handled very well (a technique John Milius perfected in his 1983 classic Uncommon Valor which incidentally pre-dated the much hyped Rambo First Blood II by nearly two years). The climax of the film is the surf footage at the end depicting the legendary day of a lifetime, Big Wednesday. The only negative is the thought that the two stars, Jan Michael Vincent and Gary Busey threw away their lives after this movie due to drug addiction (Busey almost died from an overdose in 1994). Another negative is that some of the surfing terminology in the book didn't make it to the film. In the book, the car is referred to as "The Makeshift" - it isn't in the film. Still, if you cast these things out of your mind for 100 minutes you will experience something truly special. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: The one movie I never grow tired of watching
Review: This movie rates for me to be the one movie that inspired me the most in my teenage years. There was three of us in the Midwest that begged for the escape to the California coast. The story of the three friends only served to endear this movie to us. We all went different paths that started as one.

Summary: Surfers Love it Everywhere
Review: This movie symbolizes the best time in every surfers life. The times when all you lived for was the biggest wave, the perfect wave, the empty wave. How many of us go out surfing and get flashbacks of all those good times when life was free and easy? The most important aspects of this movie is that no matter how much the circumstances of your life may change you can always head back to the surf to gain the inner strength and unspoken sense of of satisfaction which reminds you of just why we are on this planet, for friendship and the worlds natural wonders. This movie re-enforced the belief of standing by your mates and when it's time charge, don't hold back, a great movie and unreal surfing sequences for it's time.

Summary: Chronicling The Passing of the Years
Review: This was one of the most heart-wrenching movies you'll ever see: at times whimsical, funny, sentimental, and sad. Sort of like life. Milius manages to do what some of us dream about -- which is to capture the most poignant times in our lives, times we think we'll always remember when they happen but fade into hazy memory later. Surfing is used in Big Wednesday as a background for the coming of age motif, and to ultimately pose the question: can you go home again?

Summary: The movie of my generation
Review: We were young....
We were happy....and we didn't take care of the future.
Now the time has past and we have to take care of the remaining future......we can't be happy.
The movie is our story.

Summary: Maybe the greatest movie ever
Review: Words cannot adequately describe the emotional tug that this movie does to the heart. Growing up in a small coastal town in Southern California during the 60's is epitomized in this movie. Friendship, Vietnam, Surfing, Party Crashers, weekends in Tijuana, Friends gone off the edge - man, it's so well depicted and so accurate. This is Jan Michael Vincent's best work ever and he did it shortly before he lost control of his life through his addictions - the guy was an unbelievable actor! I know him through friends and as a young man he was notoriously sought after by hordes of women and was a phenomenal natural athelete. You've gotta get this movie!
