I was a 13 year old paper boy in suburban north Jersey at the time this movie portrays. Because of my daily trips through my area of the town I was acquainted with all the older cool kids. One of my favorite memories was a day I had a baseball game so I was delivering newspapers in my baseball uniform. One of those older cool kids saw me pedaling around at top speed because I was running late for the game. He said something like "Hey kid, ditch your bike in my garage and I'll give you a ride. ". We finished my paper route and he dropped me off at the baseball field. I felt so cool arriving in that 68 Chevelle SS 396 with the air shocks, mags and fat back tires. The look on my teammates faces was priceless. I think about that any time this movie is mentioned.

The second this film came out it was a classic and has stayed in my top 10 list permanently. Others come and go, this stays on the list.

Fun video. I was an extra in it, a freahman girl hazed/dance scene/baseball scene. The main actor who was known was Milla Jovovich. Everybody was excited she might show up to the set. Parker Posey had been on a soap opera, and Sasha had been on Buffy. But you had to talk to them to learn what they had done.

Loved the movie, loved the list! I started high school in the late 70s. I went to school with those people! Thanks so much for the memories!

Getting nostalgic about a '90s movie that was nostalgic about the '70s

Naeblis Reviews - been years but thanks for your review of '21. I thought the onset fight between London and Anderson ALMOST occurred. I'd also never heard that Jovovich didn't get along with the rest of the crew... but I have heard Linklater say she simply wasn't up to the much bigger role he'd imagined for her.

This is a movie that I literally can not change the channel if it's on TV. Been watching it since I was in highschool in the 90s. It's a coming of age movie that never gets old.

"Light on plot" would be a good way to describe this movie. Thanks!

I graduated from high school in 1976. This movie 🎬 knocks it out of the park. 💯😶‍🌫️🤦🥰

I believe that anybody who graduated high school before 1995 or so can relate to Dazed and Confused. I graduated high school in 1992 and I knew people just like each character.

From my 1976 high school days...the music is almost spot on but they left out disco....like it or not it would have been as prevalent as classic rock...beer would have been hidden a little more from fear of the cops...I did start buying liquor at 14 so that was right... There wasn't organized hazing.. that was more of a college thing..however people did get picked on unmercifully sometimes..jocks would smoke dope and drink but not hang out with stoners in public..things were more cliquish than what the movie depicted..there definitely was older dudes that would hang out with high school kids for whatever reason..they were kind of made fun of behind their backs..there was more cruising in muscle cars... nobody drove to the big city to get concert tickets when you could get them at your local record store and for the most part they were all general admission back then until the Who concert in Cincinnati I think 79 when the kids were crushed to death by stampeding concert goers trying to get up front.. still a good movie though

Dazed and Confused was written by Jake Holmes.

I would have been appreciative of someone using my name in a movie, especially one like Dazed and Confused, instead of trying to sue and get money

What a complete flubbin’ mistake of not having a Zeppelin song in this movie, thanks Robert….

I just watched it for the first time.. so boring!. nothing happens. why is it so liked? just the nostalgia factor? it's dumb. The music is good. Also I found it so violent and inappropriate. it didn't age well definitely
