I remember my brother driving me around in the Dodge Dart in 1976 in San Antonio when my parents left the house and the car and he was supposed to be watching me. I was 8 and he was 15.
Still valid in Arkansas bud. Just gotta apply for that "hardship" thing and you're off driving at 14. Might explain the massive amount of absolute wank drivers around here too though.
Also, I was in the midst of taking a slug of coffee when she started making fun of the way they talked, coffee spewed cause I laughed so hard. I've come to the conclusion that people from Australia don't have an ounce of self aware.
I’m from Paris, Texas which is in Northeast Texas and a child of the 70s. I guarantee this film is super accurate, and it might as well be considered a documentary. I miss those days.
Back when you can be even more openly racist than today, it's completely acceptable to beat women and gays stayed in the closet! What a wonderful time!! For straight white dudes
@@user-xi1nm4ir7y do you really 'think' all boomers were the same. Plus they changed the meaning/year of who a baby boomer was. They were called baby boomers because of the baby boom right after the end of WW2, (1946-1955 or so) if you weren't old enough to be at woodstock(or a little younger) or not old enough to remember seeing/watching The Beatles on Ed Sullivan in 1964, you were not a real boomer, and a lot of the younger kids(not the actors) in the movie, were kids of baby boomers.
Definitely one of those movies that can make you nostalgic for a time you didn't live in. Generally I prefer a bit more plot in a movie but Dazed and Confused has such a great cast of characters that you don't mind hanging out with them for a day
This movie was advertised as "See it with a bud", so it was always about the party! Film was also a break out for a lot of young actors who have gone on to have incredible careers.
I LOVE this movie. I graduated high school in 1972, 4 years before this movie takes place, and except for the hazing everything in this movie was my senior year. I knew ALL of these people in school.
I was in high school a decade later than this and I went to school with all of those people, too. I saw myself in the movie as well and have been to that party in the middle of nowhere, more than once, lol. Surprised I lived through it!
Fun Fact. Matthew Mcconaughey wasn't originally in this movie. He met the director while they were filming in Texas. The director liked him so much, he offered him 500 dollars to have a small role. Once filming started, they just kept adding more scenes for him. Also, the guy who plays Benny, Cole Hauser, plays Rip in Yellowstone.
"American Graffiti" is it's older brother. Cruising last night of summer, 1962. Amazing soundtrack, amazing cars, great comedy.....and comparing the change in culture between the 1962 (which was still 1950s culture) and 1976....that WAS radical. It might as well have been a century's difference. (that's how radical the 60s was, lol). Highly recommend that one.
This was a 90’s movie that take place in 1976. The gap in music, cars, and the ways people lived their lives was huge. Every decade seems to be different from the last. As someone who’s been through at least 4 decades, their is a definite difference from when I went to school in the 90’s and what school kids go through now. Those that actually go to a physical classrooms, at least.
I didn't get why she said "it must be the '80s or the '90s" well after seeing "Last day of school, 1976" right on the screen with a few other references.
This is actual first movie for Mattew McCaughey. He was nearby in Austin, Texas when movie was casting. Matt was helping out with the crew. Someone asked him if Matt wants to be in a movie. At 1st, he had a few lines. Then director was impressed on Matt's delivery. So, they increased his lines. Rest is history
This movie Jump-started so many acting careers: Adam Goldberg Rory Cochrane Matthew McConaughey Anthony Rapp Milla Jovovich Ben Affleck Jeremy London Marisa Ribisi (Giovanni’s Sister) Parker Posey Joey Lauren Adams
It was also the first real teen movie of the 1990s after a few years of them not even being a genre anymore, strangely. I anticipated this majorly only for the release to get scaled back after a lot of hype. I still got to see it in a theater at the local college a few months later.
I always get a kick watching millennials/Gen Zers get offended when watching 'old-school' movies. A time I grew up in. A time when not everything was offensive and not everybody got offended, Those were good times.
Growing up in suburbia wasn't the most exciting thing in any era. You had rock 'n roll, school sports (if you were athletic/talented enough), chasing girls (mostly unsuccessfully), driving around, getting pizza, if someone's parents were out of town there was a keg party maybe..never got invited to those cuz I wasn't cool enough LOL! I knew people who were into weed but I didn't see that till college. Was a bit of a change going to college in the city and seeing kids from all over the country and different backgrounds! At least I knew that the stultifying conformism in the little borough I grew up in didn't mean squat at the end of the day.
Ya. I relate to what u have to say. I played sports, but wasn't one of "the cool kids"... every weekend, everyone would ask me why I wasn't at "the party"... and it was always because nobody thought to invite me.... even tho all thought I should have been there... I agree with everything u say... I have good memories of high school, but University is when my life truly took off
My older brother showed me this movie when i was around 12, still watch it every now and then and also still say random quotes from the movie, a real classic
although this was shot in Texas it was my life, L-I-V-I-N in Alberta Canada. although 'froshing' wasn't as organized as in the movie it was expected and accepted..first week of high school it was open season. this is one of my fave all time movies because it's so close to my experiences and my heart.
I've always loved this movie. Reminds me so much of how my hometown was in Canada. The major difference was instead of football it was hockey of course lol.
Unpopular opinion but I love that movie more than D&C because it's a more specific kind of period film that doesn't rely on nostalgia to immerse you. I could've watched 100 hours of that movie.
Twenty years ago, "The School of Rock" came out in theaters and it still remains my favorite Richard Linklater movie. But "Dazed and Confused" still remains his finest masterpiece in thirty years' time, and one of the greatest hangout movies of all time.💯
This was high-school in the 70s in America. I was a freshman in '76 and it was literally like this movie. Sex, drugs and rock and roll wasn't just a saying it was a lifestyle. I watch this movie at least once every year
I think it's hard for your gen to understand just how fun this time was. I was a 90's kid and it is by far the best time of my life, and it was a lot like this.
Do Empire Records next. That guy(mike) was in Friends, so was his bully clint. Slater(rory cochrane) was in CSI. Milla jovovich matthew and ben affleck are obviously famous now. And no that "new girl" was simone from the first scene.
Also it's called that for the Led Zeppelin song. Though they were not on the sound track I don't think, it wasn't from the lack of the movie people trying to get it on. Zeppelin was the King of the 70's rock scene.
I remember when I got to meet Milla Jovovich. She was playing this very small intimate venue at Tower Records and it was just her and about 25 to 30 of us huddled around her and her acoustic guitar as she played her eccentric folksy music. She was very shy and a bit awkward, but a sweet person. Fun times.
There was a lot of hooking up on the set. The guy that played Pickford (Shawn Andrews) actually married the girl that played Michelle (Milla Jovovich) when he was 21 and she was 16. Her mother had the marriage annulled 2 months later.
I graduated HS in the year this movie is set but I never identified with it. Maybe because the soundtrack doesn't jibe with what me and my friends were into. Also, we didn't have the kind of hazing and mean cheerleader kind of stuff that pervades the movie. Maybe the jocks in my class identify with that, I don't know. But the beer, pot, clothes were spot on.
What are you saying? That you weren't the walking stereotype of a supposed 70's high school senior depicted in this movie. Man, I get you. I graduated in 1994. My music taste was and in a way still is 70's and 80's punk and new wave. But I also enjoyed some of the rock, pop, r'n'b, and hip hop of the early-mid 90's.
My aunts saw the hazing. Never was a part of it, didn't participate or get targeted, but they confirmed that even the bullying was spot on, from both boys and other girls. Not as prevalent, but it was common enough that my mum identifies with most of this movie, based on her experiences and the anecdotes from peers. A family friend that i also consider one of my aunts graduated in 1977. She agrees that the stereotype-feel is all over this film, but it's mostly accurate. 😆
@@okeefe757 i know, right! You figure, though, when you see there's a movie about high school kids the graduated that it would be about you! I do wish I had gone to school with Milla Jovovich and Parker Posey... although I'd have been too shy to talk to them.
I saw this in a theater and when they were at the store walking past the prices, I could hear a bunch of people commenting to each other "cigarettes, 60 cents!!"
"Fast Times at Ridgemont High" might be an interesting take if you´re on that road. Also stoner comedies can´t get more classic than Cheech and Chong's "Up in Smoke".
You were wondering who the philosophical dude was? He played Chandlers crazy roommate when Joey moved out on Friends. It was also the first time Matthew said his iconic phrase "Allright alright alright "
Went to HS in the 90's in the US This is almost exactly how it was, minus beating kids with paddles. That one dude who was always high, the one older dude who never grew out of HS mode. Once or twice a month everyone would wind up at the same weekend bash and have a blast no matter what click you ran with. Good times. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
Saw this when it came out on my second date with the person who became my wife. Whenever it comes up on cable we at a minimum discuss watching it if not actually watching
@@kennypitts4829 um. Yeah. Been my name all my life. I know at least 15 of us guys spelling our name, Ely, Elly, Ellie, Eli and the list goes on. What do you think is the nickname for Elliot you ashat.
Yeah, I can relate. I lived most of these scenes. I loved growing up in the 70"s. This movie, Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Animal House was my life from high school thru college.
@@ueno1 It was so popular after the movie came out, they released an additional second soundtrack album. Since there were way too many great songs to fit on one CD!
Wow I just saw that you reacted to this. Dazed and Confused is easily one of my favorite movies of all time even though I was born the year this came out lmao. I am from Texas though and I can say that it's still somewhat like this... at least it still kind of was when I was growing up there in the early 2000s. I've since moved to New York City but it's fun when people who aren't from the south watch this.
love how this was filmed in my home town. i went to middle school where the high school was filmed in the movie, also have been to the same football field as well. some of the art in the high school in the film is still up now
Even graduating 2005 there was still a lot of this. The after grad bush party lol fights, tons of drinking, weed, music and making some friendships with people you knew for 4 years and never once talked to
Love this movie - love the sound track. The 70s was a good time, and no we didn't have much of that hazing. We were driving in our last year at school , and Wednesdays (during the longer lunch period) 4 of us would regularly skip out to the Corner Hotel for a beer and pub meal .. teachers never found out. 😉
"How is this fun?" It was life before kids had computers and the internet. We had to occupy our time with something. Though by the time I hit high school home computers had started to become a thing. I'm about 10 years younger than the kids in the movie would be today.
"I've never seen any Australian do this." You might want to track down WAKE IN FRIGHT. It's not about teenagers but it definitely involves pointless male hazing in the Outback.
For another version of this type of style you need to watch Porky's it is set in either the 50's or early 60's can't quite remember but it has the same kind of theme minus the weed
People weren't so uptight in the 70s... we had loads of fun because we weren't to serious....we also had smoke breaks in high school...2 times a day we had 15 minutes to light up at the smoking area in the courtyard ....teachers could take kids that misbehaved out in the hall and make the kid bend over and give them 3 whacks with wooden paddle...then if he wanted to the kid could sign the paddle
Decades before he was Batman, Affleck was Paddled*uche. 13 year-old? That's not a common age for high school freshmen here in America. I didn't have a car until I got one as a graduation present, and it was manufactured the year I was born.
No other country uses "freshman, sophomore, juniors, and seniors" to talk about high school kids. I'm Canadian and never had any idea what ages or grades American movies and TV shows were talking about. Especially didn't make sense since when I was in h.s., there were 5 grades, not four.
@@zammmerjammer American high schools had grades 9-12 in the 70s, Freshman were 9th graders, Seniors were 12th graders. Some high schools brought in 8th grade to mix with the others. 8th-12 grades encompass ages 13 -17.
My favorite Matthew McConaughey movie is We Are Marshall, a true story about a coach trying to rebuild a football team after most of the team is lost in a plane crash and the town is in mourning.
I love this movie so much but always get sad when it's over because I really want to see what happens next to all of the characters. Makes me wish I could time travel to the 70's too.
I graduated in 2022 and when I was a freshman the seniors used to but their class rings on necklace chains and swing them around and pop us with them. And when I was a senior I popped freshman with my class ring. It’s just how American high schools work especially in small towns were I’m from it makes you tough and not a weak little snowflake.
I graduated highschool in 1977 Texas and other than the hazing of freshmen students this film is pretty well right on the money, the music, clothes, cars, etc.
I graduated in 1975. Back in the nineties I dated a woman several years my senior. We watched this movie and I told her how this was basically my experience in high school (aside from the whole hazing thing which wouldn't have gone down in the LAUSD at the time - Texas and California were and are very different places). She asked all we did was drive around trying to get drunk, stoned, or laid. I said something to the effect of "Why, were your high school years different?" "Yeah," she said "we tried to change the world." And I was like, "How did that work out." I'm a bitter late boomer, if you haven't figured it out.
Funny story, the kid waiting on the bike for the other freshman was a good friend of mine. He was an extra. He used to sell LSD to us in the 90's too. Love this flick. Texas high school was like this in the 90's. Just different styles... mine was at least.
A lot of folks have said it but it’s true. This is almost a DOCUMENTARY of American high school culture in the 70s. Specific to Austin but almost universally accurate. It’s a little spooky 😄
As someone who went to HS 2000-2004, pretty sure I’m the last person in this area who knows and remembers all the old trails out into what used to be the woods where this whole generation used to go to “party at the moon tower.” It’s all been developed now, and it breaks my heart to think that today’s kids around here will never feel that same sense of discovery riding their bikes down a new deer path and finding BMX ramps made of rammed earth and 20 year-old beer cans somewhere along the way. lol But at least we still have this movie.
More comedy with weed I recommend is "Pineapple Express" "Detroit Rock City" "This Is The End" "Half Baked" Harold and Kumar" "Dude, Where's My Car?" and others I'm sure people know that I don't
That's the 70's lol. We went through it, but I never picked on the freshmen when I was a senior. You could smell the weed in my neighborhood for miles. 😂 Alright! Alright! Alright!
I was not hazed in the 70's, but I was made fun of from grade 1 to 12. It was humiliating. My first grade teacher was so upset with me she threw my spelling book across the room making me pick it up while yelling how disappointed she was with me. OK, that was 1965. Worst teacher ever. I have autistic traits. The thing that saved me was there were good kids that let me know they cared, even if I couldn't give them answers. I've read about kids being bullied online who ended up killing themselves. I think it is worse today. The characters of the guys who dolled out spankings have a thing for young boys. It's all in the writing.
I forget Cole Hauser was in this. He stars in the show Yellowstone, along side Kevin Costner, which just started it's 4th season. Definitely worth checking out!

The movie was made in the 90s but it takes place in the 70s near Austin Texas.
“A 13-year-old is driving right now?”
Austin, Texas in 1976. Totally authentic, I guarantee you.
and the drinking age was 18
I remember my brother driving me around in the Dodge Dart in 1976 in San Antonio when my parents left the house and the car and he was supposed to be watching me. I was 8 and he was 15.
@@jonathanhill4366 Yeah, that sounds exactly right. I was 8 in 1976 and I think I first drove at about 14/15 a few years later.
Still valid in Arkansas bud. Just gotta apply for that "hardship" thing and you're off driving at 14. Might explain the massive amount of absolute wank drivers around here too though.
He was 16 though
It's hilarious how she was shocked by the drunkenness and the fighting. If there's anything Australia is known for it is sobriety and propriety.
Never been to Australia, but was thinking the same thing. ESPECIALLY Australia in the 1970s!
Also, I was in the midst of taking a slug of coffee when she started making fun of the way they talked, coffee spewed cause I laughed so hard. I've come to the conclusion that people from Australia don't have an ounce of self aware.
This movie is a pretty accurate portrayal of American high schools in the 1970s.
Party and more party’s

Yes, one of the best young stars launchpads ever, and IMHO the best soundtrack ever. This is one of my 2 fave movies; the other being Tombstone.

And no that "new girl" was simone from the first scene.
The guy who plays the liquor store clerk also plays the liquor store clerk in Boyhood
"hey man you got a joint? Not one on me man.. it'd be alot cooler if you did" is my favorite line in this movie haha
"Beers to a 13 year old, such different times". We did that in early 2000s' too when I was 13.
My older sister used to take me to the pub when I was 13 . lol
It takes place in the 70s and don’t be surprised about all the weed, it’s literally called DAZED AND CONFUSED
Also it's called that for the Led Zeppelin song. Though they were not on the sound track I don't think, it wasn't from the lack of the movie people trying to get it on. Zeppelin was the King of the 70's rock scene.

Yeah, I never saw the hazing, but the music ( for the most part), cruising, hanging out & keggers in the woods? That all checks out.
What are you saying? That you weren't the walking stereotype of a supposed 70's high school senior depicted in this movie. Man, I get you. I graduated in 1994. My music taste was and in a way still is 70's and 80's punk and new wave. But I also enjoyed some of the rock, pop, r'n'b, and hip hop of the early-mid 90's.
My aunts saw the hazing. Never was a part of it, didn't participate or get targeted, but they confirmed that even the bullying was spot on, from both boys and other girls. Not as prevalent, but it was common enough that my mum identifies with most of this movie, based on her experiences and the anecdotes from peers. A family friend that i also consider one of my aunts graduated in 1977. She agrees that the stereotype-feel is all over this film, but it's mostly accurate. 😆
@@okeefe757 i know, right! You figure, though, when you see there's a movie about high school kids the graduated that it would be about you!
I do wish I had gone to school with Milla Jovovich and Parker Posey... although I'd have been too shy to talk to them.
I saw this in a theater and when they were at the store walking past the prices, I could hear a bunch of people commenting to each other "cigarettes, 60 cents!!"
"Fast Times at Ridgemont High" might be an interesting take if you´re on that road. Also stoner comedies can´t get more classic than Cheech and Chong's "Up in Smoke".
I was thinking of suggesting Animal House
“Fast Times” is great. Mary will love Sean Penn as Jeff Spicoli.
You were wondering who the philosophical dude was? He played Chandlers crazy roommate when Joey moved out on Friends. It was also the first time Matthew said his iconic phrase "Allright alright alright "
Went to HS in the 90's in the US This is almost exactly how it was, minus beating kids with paddles. That one dude who was always high, the one older dude who never grew out of HS mode. Once or twice a month everyone would wind up at the same weekend bash and have a blast no matter what click you ran with. Good times. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
Saw this when it came out on my second date with the person who became my wife. Whenever it comes up on cable we at a minimum discuss watching it if not actually watching
Elly is a man's name?
@@kennypitts4829 um. Yeah. Been my name all my life. I know at least 15 of us guys spelling our name, Ely, Elly, Ellie, Eli and the list goes on. What do you think is the nickname for Elliot you ashat.
Yeah, I can relate. I lived most of these scenes. I loved growing up in the 70"s. This movie, Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Animal House was my life from high school thru college.
The soundtrack to this movie is so great.
facts
@@MaryCherryOfficial It may still be available!
@@ueno1 It was so popular after the movie came out, they released an additional second soundtrack album. Since there were way too many great songs to fit on one CD!
Wow I just saw that you reacted to this. Dazed and Confused is easily one of my favorite movies of all time even though I was born the year this came out lmao. I am from Texas though and I can say that it's still somewhat like this... at least it still kind of was when I was growing up there in the early 2000s. I've since moved to New York City but it's fun when people who aren't from the south watch this.
love how this was filmed in my home town. i went to middle school where the high school was filmed in the movie, also have been to the same football field as well. some of the art in the high school in the film is still up now
Even graduating 2005 there was still a lot of this. The after grad bush party lol fights, tons of drinking, weed, music and making some friendships with people you knew for 4 years and never once talked to
Those are just things that have always been around and always will be.
Now every time I see this movie, I can’t un-see Benny as a young Rip from “Yellowstone”.
The actress who plays the main character's older sister plays Connie Conehead in the Coneheads movie released the same year.
Michelle Burke. She’s beautiful.
@@Sweetish_Jeff_ ...and also EXTREMELY nicely shaped back then.
fun fact, the star of this film has a twin who's the lead in Mall Rats, most people probably think it's the same guy
Love this movie - love the sound track. The 70s was a good time, and no we didn't have much of that hazing. We were driving in our last year at school , and Wednesdays (during the longer lunch period) 4 of us would regularly skip out to the Corner Hotel for a beer and pub meal .. teachers never found out. 😉
"How is this fun?" It was life before kids had computers and the internet. We had to occupy our time with something. Though by the time I hit high school home computers had started to become a thing. I'm about 10 years younger than the kids in the movie would be today.
She is clueless
"I've never seen any Australian do this."
You might want to track down WAKE IN FRIGHT. It's not about teenagers but it definitely involves pointless male hazing in the Outback.
I think it might be banned down in Oz.
Yeah, i'd second 'Wait In Fright'. I'd slap a content warning on it though.
For another version of this type of style you need to watch Porky's it is set in either the 50's or early 60's can't quite remember but it has the same kind of theme minus the weed
Its set in the 50's. And yes, Mary needs to watch that.
Especially the first Porkies. Maybe the second one but no further. LOL.
Forget Porkys, watch American Graffiti. That's what Dazed And Confused is, it's a 70s version of American Graffiti.
They couldn't find the right actor to play Wooderson in this movie, so they had to invent Matthew McConaughey and release him into our world.
People weren't so uptight in the 70s... we had loads of fun because we weren't to serious....we also had smoke breaks in high school...2 times a day we had 15 minutes to light up at the smoking area in the courtyard ....teachers could take kids that misbehaved out in the hall and make the kid bend over and give them 3 whacks with wooden paddle...then if he wanted to the kid could sign the paddle
As someone that works in a school, they still smoke between classes. That’s never changed.
"I love those redheads" Mary giggles and strokes her own red hair.
Pretty much a perfect movie.
I would recommend Everybody Wants Some. It's sort of a sequel to this movie, just with different characters.
I believe the age of consent in Texas is/was 17. So technically, high school senior girls would be fair game for McConaughey's character.
Rock n Roll hit its peak in the 70s. It blossomed in the 50s, and came of age in the 60s. In the 80s it got middle aged and put on a suit.
Decades before he was Batman, Affleck was Paddled*uche.
13 year-old? That's not a common age for high school freshmen here in America.
I didn't have a car until I got one as a graduation present, and it was manufactured the year I was born.
She didn’t seem to recognize Affleck at all, which is pretty awesome. Haha
No other country uses "freshman, sophomore, juniors, and seniors" to talk about high school kids. I'm Canadian and never had any idea what ages or grades American movies and TV shows were talking about. Especially didn't make sense since when I was in h.s., there were 5 grades, not four.
@@BDogg2023 At least until he caught Carl and Mitch and she said “young Ben Affleck”
@@zammmerjammer American high schools had grades 9-12 in the 70s, Freshman were 9th graders, Seniors were 12th graders. Some high schools brought in 8th grade to mix with the others. 8th-12 grades encompass ages 13 -17.
I'm in grade thirteen Eh.
My favorite Matthew McConaughey movie is We Are Marshall, a true story about a coach trying to rebuild a football team after most of the team is lost in a plane crash and the town is in mourning.
You gotta remember this was pre internet, pre videogames, an basically 4ish channels on tv.
"Why is everything he says so cool?"
"That's what I love about these high school girls..." 😯😯😂😂
Also, you're so perfect. 😍
Fun fact: This movie is the first time matthew mcconaughey said "All right, all right, all right' on screen. Wasn't even in the script, he made it up.
I love this movie so much but always get sad when it's over because I really want to see what happens next to all of the characters. Makes me wish I could time travel to the 70's too.
I graduated in 2022 and when I was a freshman the seniors used to but their class rings on necklace chains and swing them around and pop us with them. And when I was a senior I popped freshman with my class ring. It’s just how American high schools work especially in small towns were I’m from it makes you tough and not a weak little snowflake.
Ah, the 70’s!
I graduated highschool in 1977 Texas and other than the hazing of freshmen students this film is pretty well right on the money, the music, clothes, cars, etc.
I graduated in 1975. Back in the nineties I dated a woman several years my senior. We watched this movie and I told her how this was basically my experience in high school (aside from the whole hazing thing which wouldn't have gone down in the LAUSD at the time - Texas and California were and are very different places). She asked all we did was drive around trying to get drunk, stoned, or laid. I said something to the effect of "Why, were your high school years different?" "Yeah," she said "we tried to change the world." And I was like, "How did that work out."
I'm a bitter late boomer, if you haven't figured it out.
My favorite movie. I've literally watched it about 500 times.
Drink every time Mitch touches his face.
Dazed and Confused one of the rare movies you don’t want to end. The last scene you just want to go with them to the next weekend to see what they do
Funny story, the kid waiting on the bike for the other freshman was a good friend of mine. He was an extra. He used to sell LSD to us in the 90's too.
Love this flick. Texas high school was like this in the 90's. Just different styles... mine was at least.
Luv this movie 🍿 glad 😃 to be part of Mary cherry fam
This movie is Pure Gold one of my favourite of all time to watch
A lot of folks have said it but it’s true. This is almost a DOCUMENTARY of American high school culture in the 70s. Specific to Austin but almost universally accurate. It’s a little spooky 😄
As someone who went to HS 2000-2004, pretty sure I’m the last person in this area who knows and remembers all the old trails out into what used to be the woods where this whole generation used to go to “party at the moon tower.”
It’s all been developed now, and it breaks my heart to think that today’s kids around here will never feel that same sense of discovery riding their bikes down a new deer path and finding BMX ramps made of rammed earth and 20 year-old beer cans somewhere along the way. lol
But at least we still have this movie.
Period detail is authentic--bowl haircuts, bib overalls, etc.
No way one of my favorites of all time 😭
"I keep getting older and high school girls stay the same age."
Never understood why people try to show how much they know and love a movie by posting obviously butchered “quotes.”
@@BDogg2023 Haha! Yup that's me! But in my own defense, I have yet to see this movie not stoned as a Bejesus.
statutory rhaep
Fun Fact _ Quentin Tarantino is on record as saying he watches Dazed and Confused . along with 4 other film before he writes for a movie
1:37 Yeah, he's familiar. He was in Saving Private Ryan. He played Mellish.
In America, high school freshman are around 14-15 years old and seniors around 18. Just FYI.
Life was so much better in the 70s
More comedy with weed I recommend is "Pineapple Express" "Detroit Rock City" "This Is The End" "Half Baked" Harold and Kumar" "Dude, Where's My Car?" and others I'm sure people know that I don't
Only good one on that list is Half Baked. Maybe Harold and Kumar. You’re missing Grandma’s Boy.
I think Matthew is the only man that can rock pink pants & still be cool. Lol
point of fact: in 1983, if you had a car THAT YOU PAID FOR YOURSELF BY WORKING FULLTIME while in school, you were even cooler. lol
alright alright alright it would be alot cooler if it was a premiere right now !!!!
That's the 70's lol. We went through it, but I never picked on the freshmen when I was a senior. You could smell the weed in my neighborhood for miles. 😂 Alright! Alright! Alright!
One of my favorite movies, I would watch this over and over when it came out on vhs when I was in the 5th grade
FYI... This movie is HIGHLY authentic when it comes to portraying high school in Texas in the 1970s.
I was not hazed in the 70's, but I was made fun of from grade 1 to 12. It was humiliating. My first grade teacher was so upset with me she threw my spelling book across the room making me pick it up while yelling how disappointed she was with me. OK, that was 1965. Worst teacher ever. I have autistic traits. The thing that saved me was there were good kids that let me know they cared, even if I couldn't give them answers. I've read about kids being bullied online who ended up killing themselves. I think it is worse today. The characters of the guys who dolled out spankings have a thing for young boys. It's all in the writing.
"Oh my gosh. What, is everyone high?"
And that's when the Diet Coke shot out of my nose.
Alright so here's the drinking game for this movie. Drink every time you see a actor that was in a Jay and Silent Bob movie 🤪
I forget Cole Hauser was in this. He stars in the show Yellowstone, along side Kevin Costner, which just started it's 4th season. Definitely worth checking out!
Agree, it is a great show with some awesome characters. Initially didn´t recognize Hauser with a beard though.
I remembered when I was a freshman in 1979, and Seniors did haze some of the Freshman Class. They did not haze me because I knew some of them.
This movie has the greatest soundtrack of all time
