- Big Wednesday is an American coming of age film directed by John Milius. Milius co-wrote Big Wednesday with Denny Aaberg, and it is loosely based on their own experiences at Malibu and a short story Aaberg had published in a 1974 Surfer Magazine entitled ‘No Pants Lance. ’ The picture stars Jan-Michael Vincent, William Katt and Gary Busey as California surfers facing life, the Vietnam War, and use of the ever changing surf as a metaphor for the changes in life. Surfing aficionados consider it to be one of the best surfing-related films made, in part because of the surfing cinematography and the appearance of several world champion surfers as stunt performers, plus its verisimilitude, especially when compared to the kitschy 1960s Beach Party films. The director, John Milius, had been a surfer in his youth. The film also examines the extremes which some young men went to during the Vietnam years to avoid being drafted and shipped off to war, including: faking insanity, homosexuality (which the military then equated with insanity), and all manner of medical ailments. The picture also illustrates the tough decision some made to enlist and the effects that decision had on their friends and families.
- Tag der Entscheidung ist ein Film von Regisseur John Milius, gedreht im Jahr 1978 in den USA. Er handelt vom Coming of age dreier Freunde im Kalifornien der 1960er und 70er Jahre.
- American Party (Big Wednesday) est un film réalisé par John Milius, sorti en 1978. C'est le troisième film de John Milius et probablement l'un des meilleurs films consacrés au surf. Les éléments que Milius développera par la suite comme réalisateur ou scénariste sont déjà présents: éloge de la puissance, de la virilité, mais aussi de la fraternité et épisme à tout cran et mythification des héros, accompagnés par la sublime musique de Basil Poledouris.
- Un mercoledì da leoni è un film di John Milius, dedicato al mondo del surf. Alla sua uscita la pellicola fu un flop, ma nel tempo è divenuto un classico; il film affronta numerosi temi (l'amicizia, la morte, l'adolescenza), in maniera mai superficiale, il tutto decorato con le avventure in acqua dei tre protagonisti, che si divertono a praticare evoluzioni con il surf. John Milius presenta una sorta di avventura autobiografica (probabilmente, la voce fuori campo che accompagna il film è quella del regista), accompagnata dalle musiche memorabili di Basil Poledouris. La spettacolarità delle riprese in acqua dona al film un grande fascino.
- 『ビッグウェンズデー』（Big Wednesday）は1978年に制作されたアメリカ合衆国のサーフィン映画。
- Wielka środa - amerykańska tragikomedia z 1978 roku. Jest to opowieść o trzech kumplach, którzy uprawiaja surfing. Film jest też portretem przemian obyczajowych lat 1962-74.
