As one of the first movies I dove into with regards to 1979, Breaking Away provided a wonderful insight into a community and world that seems forgotten (midwest college towns), with rich nuance and character details.

There is an interview with screenwriter Steve Tesich and Dave Letterman on YouTube. Tesich was absolutely charming, he seemed like a great guy. It's heartbreaking he died so young.

I never tire of watching Breaking Away, it's a great movie, a great story.
