John (”Conan the Barbarian”) Milius wrote and directed this underrated, but well-known beach movie that is powerful more than first meets the witness.
What is most memorable is the terrific second unit large wave cinematography by eminent Imax and surf photgrapher Greg MacGillivray. But the undercurrent (no pun intended) is a troubling epic that grew from Milius’ memories about his gain surfer buddy friendships on the day — a mammoth Wednesday — when Watts was going up in flames and the surf was peaking.
Almost a gargantuan film that in retrospect was far and away more prescient than given credit at the time. Jan Michael Vincent, Gary Busey and William katt are perfect as the friends seeking meaning and purpose as they travel through ten turbulent years starting in the mid-60s.

This title, like Monte Hellman’s “Two Lane Blacktop” and Dennis Hopper’s “Easy Rider” is a legendary film with a devoted cult following that looks at a specific time in America through the eyes of lost innocence.
“Grand Wednesday” is finally available in a pristine widescreen DVD transfer with an insightful, witty, and at times almost poetic commentary by writer director Milius.
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 express 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 Curious Valor which incidentally pre-dated the worthy hyped Rambo First Blood II by nearly two years) . The climax of the film is the surf footage at the destroy depicting the legendary day of a lifetime, Great Wednesday. The only negative is the view 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 fabricate it to the film. In the book, the car is referred to as “The Makeshift” - it isn’t in the film. Smooth, if you cast these things out of your mind for 100 minutes you will experience something truly special. You won’t be disappointed.
