Dazed and Confused (1993) | First Time Watching | FRR Movie Request

[@user-yx7bi9le4v]

Love this movie. Fast Times at Ridgemont High would be a perfect follow up to this movie.

[@EShelby2127]

Goodwill Hunting And Gone Girl... both are a must!

[@brooksboyd1959]

‘77 high school grad in Houston…this was our lives every day, no exaggeration

[@sallyatticum]

Class of 78 in FL was just like this, without the hazing.. Then I moved to Austin in 81, so this is doubly weird.

[@dldavis1212]

If you want a great Ben Affleck film please watch Gone Girl!

[@RyneMurray23]

Slater is one of my favorite characters in any movie. "Have you looked at a dollar bill man? There's some spooky stuff going on on a dollar bill man, and its green too"😂😂

[@TonyMichaels166]

*AYE, SLATER! YOU FUCKIN’ HIPPIE! GIMME DRUGS, MAN GIMME DRUGS!*

[@BigPete44]

What up fellas! Classic movie GREAT soundtrack! Requesting a very hidden GEM… *”OUTSIDE PROVIDENCE”* (1999) 🔥🤣🤣

[@laudanum669]

The last time I checked there were 0 reactions to ”OUTSIDE PROVIDENCE”. It is a hidden gem, to hidden I guess.

[@BigPete44]

@@laudanum669 Exactly there are 0! Lol. I happened to see it with my buddy from high school at theaters when it came out. It was a “Farrelly Brothers” movie. We were bored I guess but we cried laughing when we watched it 😂😂 Wasn’t sure if anyone else has heard of it or seen it lol

[@cln333]

I watched this movie and that one so many times. "It's a horn!" 😅

[@donnieboughton1730]

Probably bc people only watch reactions to movies they've seen. Js

[@cln333]

@@donnieboughton1730 you definitely have a point! Who wants to watch someone's reaction to a movie they've personally never seen? So, that being said... If you haven't seen Outside Providence, you definitely should. It's more serious, but as the OP mentioned, a hidden gem.

[@WiseGuy5674]

This is my childhood…without the paddles.😎😉

[@jimmcdonald4087]

Same here. I graduated in 1977 and the movie is really accurate. But I never heard of any hazing shit where I came from.

[@ProudPatriot306]

Yes sir bro me too

[@mrodg88]

Same and it was 1990. Listened to the same music. Did the same, field parties Beer and pot everywhere. Same groups of people. We even had a Wooderson, dude out of school hanging with us high school kids

[@ccormx]

Same, but I was born 85’, its before iPhones and after.

[@jordancharles8598]

Adam Goldberg was one of the hitmen in Fargo s1

[@EShelby2127]

Mr. Numbers!

[@nothernmonkey8612]

I thought Beverley Goldberg brought him up better than that.

[@gdhaney136]

He was in Saving Private Ryan, Friends...always liked him.

[@grunntalll]

this is a great reaction. you two pay attention, dont comment too long, have a good sense of humor and seem reflected

[@darkflames9789]

My favorite thing about this movie will always be randell "pink" floyds belt buckle when they are standing outside the emporium because its a freaking bowl lolz

[@stich21]

This is the first reaction I've watched from y'all and really enjoyed you two. I'll check out some more and give ya a sub. Good stuff

[@6dogs729]

Perfect timing just got a new phone and my YT account back with some Dabs for one of my favorite movies of all time it just so happens too be a stoner flick

[@joshythehand2960]

Love this movie.. best soundtrack and best cars of any movie. Reminds me of H.s. .. i was a freshman in the early 80s.. went to a party the first weekend.. met a bunch of Jr and seniors who became my good friends. Literally didnt hang with anybody from my freshman class for years lol. 36 years later and we are still all brothers and sisters.

[@user-xg8hq1fc1c]

Affleck was in Armageddon also

[@mikefetterman6782]

I grew up in the 70s. This movie is pretty close to small town/rural America at the time (for 16-18 year olds). Every teacher had decorated paddles hanging on the wall right next to their desks. Hazing was part of growing up. Dealing with bullies was a right of passage. Me and my friends watched this movie on VHS so much we burnt through 2 copies wearing them out. This was the Cheech and Chong stoner movie of the 90s. Most of the actors went on to big things like Matthew, Ben, and Cole. Adam Golderg (wimpy intellectual) went on to Saving Private Ryan a year later. Joey Lauren Adams was a favorite of director Kevin Smith. Pink (Jeremy London) and his twin brother Jason London were featured in tons of television series for 20 years after this movie. Parker Posey and Anthony Rapp, also are still successful actors. Fun Fact, Wiley, (Mitch Kramer) had no experience in sports and had to have a "stunt thrower" for the baseball scene. They camera stays close on his face when he "throws" but only shows the body of the actual thrower. Art Linklater (director/writer) tried a sequel to this movie years later, and supposedly the 80s version of this. This movie was lightning in a bottle and couldn't be duplicated.

[@jonnykilroy9762]

Not sure how old you guys are but I'm guessing we are about the same age. Someone pointed out on twitter that if they were to remake this movie now they'd be using 2007, which was my Jr year. Blows my mind to think my age group is that far removed

[@FriendRequestReviews]

Class of '09, Bralik is a few years older

[@gdhaney136]

This movie is classic. Born in the 70's, HS in the 80's, University in the 90's. This movie is 1/16 my life lol
This is Gen-X to its core.

[@WiseGuy5674]

I thumbed it up before I even started! 😎😉

[@popandroid]

finally, something LIGHT...with laughter! keep hope a-live!

[@lkr9892]

One of my favourite movies purely for the nostalgia this brings

[@bigpancho22]

The paddles still confuse me too this day 😂

[@jeremybr2020]

I do have to quickly mention the part where the freshmen get revenge on O'banion by dumping paint all over him, and the absolute stupidity that was displayed by these freshmen when they revealed themselves as the one's who just did it. Sure, it would be very satisfying to get revenge and you would love to reveal that you were the one to do it to him. But don't you think that O'banion is now going to kick the ever living crap out of you when he catches you? You think he's just going to forget that happened?

[@EShelby2127]

Gravel pit parties in my area of Minnesota. Class of 76, 18 was the drinking age, so most of us could go to bars when we were still in high school. College in 1976-1980 was house parties, charging each person for a keg cup. $2 for guys, $1 for girls... 18 was the drinking age. We paid $12-$18 for 16 gallon kegs, Old Style was the cheap kegs, Schlitz Malt Liquor was more expensive... high alcohol content. After the movie Animal House came out, the parties got wilder. We paid out rent & utilities with what we made with a party every month. Every weekend there was a house party near our small campus.

[@laudanum669]

@EShelby I grew up in a small Wisconsin town an hour east of St. Paul, MN. I was class of 1983 and 18 was still the drinking age. Every Friday night in the summer we also went to the gravel pit to party. We usually just brought cases of Old Milwaukee that we could buy right from the distributer in town for less than $10 we would get 4 cases as long as we had 4 empty cases of returnables to trade in. At the gravel pit we would all show off our cars (I had a 1970 GTO) blast our stereo's listening to Boston, Van Halen, AC/DC, etc. We would have a big bon fire and make out with our chicks. Every once in a while the cops would show up but all they would say is "Make sure that fire is out and all these bottles are picked up before you leave". It did help that one of our friends was the Police Chiefs son. Great times even though I'm getting old I wouldn't have wanted to grow up at any other time.

[@reservoirdude92]

Richard Linklater is one of the most insightful writer/directors in American movies, for real. Dude has made SO MANY great films and wrote some of my favorite screenplays that have inspired me as an aspiring filmmaker.
You've got a lot to explore in that filmography.

Parker Posey. She's been in a million great movies.

Missed you guys since the sopranos

[@cln333]

One of my favorites!

4:19 he’s about to jump on a yacht and hold Ava Mendez hostage and try to kill Paul Walker💀

[@Mama_Michelle]

Filmed in my hometown of Austin, TX when I was a junior in high school. A lot of my friends are extras in this movie. ❤

[@smokeyplays7183]

RIP My Uncle this was his fav movie good stuff fellas

[@jeremybr2020]

Fun fact.....the kid Mitch wasn't actually doing any of the pitching in that baseball game. The director of the movie, I believe, had to do the pitching himself because the kid playing Mitch Kramer didn't know how to throw a ball.....AT ALL. I don't know how such a thing is possible. Trying to imagine growing up as a boy, and never throwing a ball ever, is just baffling to me. This movie was a huge part of my youth. I was a senior in high school when it came out. And as much as I love the movie, I wasn't a big fan of the kid that they got to play Mitch. He wasn't horrible, but still he was pretty bad. He had never actually acted before this movie, so its understandable he wouldn't be a great actor. But he has some quirks that just annoyed the crap out of me. I'm sorry to do this, because once you know about it, you can't unsee it. But check how many times Mitch Kramer grabs the bridge of his nose with his fingers. Its such a bad and obviously rehearsed gesture. How the director didn't tell him to stop doing that sh*t, is a mystery to me.

[@shediva5705]

If you haven't seen it I think y'all would love Fist Fight #suggestions #reactions You guys are great! ❤

My favorite movie of all time, the guy who made this movie made another good one calked everybody wants some

[@BayAreaMike99]

One of my FAV movies glad you watched it😁 Richard Linklater is an unappreciated genius another underrated movie no one has really reacted to is 2014 Boyhood features Ethan Hawk, a couple of different other actors but it was shot over 12 years and it follows kids from 5 years old to high school graduation FANTASTIC MOVIE

[@Randall_Pink_Floyd]

Great movie man 😊

I swear the 60s til the 90s was different: each decade was so different that this film was a "period piece"; set in the distant past of 17 years previously!! Lol. Imagine now, making a film set 17 years ago, in 2007 -- everyone would still have the same haircuts! Basically..

"The Town" was a great Affleck movie. Anthony Rapp is the gay guy that ended Kevin Spacey's career.

[@JS-TexanJeff]

I was highschool junior/senior in 1987/88 in Sacramento. During the week, everyone was in their various cliques (jocks, preppys, stoners, newwavers, skaters, misfits, geeks, etc). What was weird was everyone was invited/welcomed to the weekend house parties of whoever's parents were on vacation for the weekend. It was only considered successful if the cops were called. Then Monday was back to cliques. Weird, I know...was that how it was for anyone else? (fyi, I was in the misfit/geek category, with a bit of crossover to newwavers who seemed to tolerate me :) ).

[@John_Greek]

Another banger

[@neilsun2521]

The character who picked the fight with the '50s greaser was in Fargo season 1. He acted the deaf hitter's partner who gets his throat cut by Lorne.

[@chuckleezodiac24]

this documentary was cool.

[@philkrugel1452]

You need to watch THE ACCOUNTANT with Ben Affleck. He's a bad ass!

[@cnikkiturner76]

I was born the year this movie was set but a lot of older folks that graduated between then and ‘85 have said that hazing did exist in hs. Usually less extreme like peanut butter under armpits, duct taped to a pole outside while it was raining or heads being dunked in toilets.

[@deraykrause4517]

"That's one of those I don't know how fucked I am before I stood up moments". hahahaha been there, man.

[@DarkAngel1985Mike]

Yeah I got bullied but it usually from the preppy jocks or peers who didn’t know my reputation and were sorry after since I was hanging out with older kids in high school when I was in 6th grade so I had older friends to back me up for revenge and I was going to local punk concerts and hanging out with older punk’s that didn’t like bullies

[@joejames1794]

Honestly not a big fan of this movie though I get the love for it I will say it’s probably got the best soundtrack of any film ever like it’s got nonstop iconic anthems.

[@peterengelen2794]

I can't wait to see y'all watching and reacting on the Australian ''Mr. Inbetween'', which imo one of the most PErfect series ever made in the history of TV. Highly Recommended! P.E.ace from overseas, The Netherlands.

FUCK YES. Omg this movie is the fucking 70s. Ass whoopin’s, shotguns, pot, sexual harassment and rock and roll 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾 hoochi coooo. Also the super nerd is the Jewish character in “saving private Ryan”, and the paddling scene is done as a gag with Chris from family guy in like season 2

Lemme go ahead and blaze one up and watch with yall, lol

[@jeremybr2020]

Love the reaction guys. I was initially annoyed because I thought y'all had skipped a couple of great parts. Turns out you only skipped one of them. I thought you skipped the speech by Mcconaughey when he talked about high school girls, but you hadn't. But what you did skip was one of the most iconic slow motion walks in movie history. When Mcconaughey first enters the Emporium, is such a iconic part. Wish y'all hadn't skipped that.

[@wwrt31]

WILD FACT: Ben Afflec Broke his leg from breaking the paddle going into his car after he got the paint thrown on him. he finished the scene

I lived through this time. Without the paddles or all the hot cars and trucks. In 1976, I would have graduated high school. Western suburb of Chicago. Those were some awesome times. The person who played Mitch. This was his first acting job. Did a pretty good job.

You guys got to check out “The Accountant “ with Ben Afflek. An absolute banger

[@pedroV2003]

I graduated in 1973 and except for the hazing this was pretty much my existence. If all the movies that follow this basic story line this is probably my favorite. Never the less I also suggest watching Hollywood Knights and American Graffiti.

[@JacobCorenthose]

Love when they dumped the paint on Affleck. Reminds me of the scene in The Wire where Mike and Namond did the same thing to that asshole cop.
