[YT Edit] Dazed and Confused (1993)

Bob Hopkins Matt Lucas in the wind in the willows

Speaking as an old gearhead, I really think the Chevelle SS 454 LS5 and the GTO should have gotten billing on the credits as they were certainly stars of the show also!!

I'm surprised nobody has recommended Linklater's spiritual sequel to this film, Everybody Wants Some!! That movie is a similar slice of life hang out movie that takes place during roughly a 24 hour period, only it takes place in college in the 80s. That movie hasn't produced nearly as many future stars as Dazed and Confused did, but it is an early movie for both Glen Powell and Wyatt Russell. That movie wasn't as successful as D&C, and hasn't had nearly the cultural footprint, but if you like this movie and found yourself wanting something similar from the same writer/director, give Everybody Wants Some!! a look.

This is a movie that never resonated with me probably because I was never with any crowd in high school. I can appreciate it's well-made and written and acted and enjoy your reaction to it. I like Linklater's other movies. Just not this one.

I'm so sorry I couldn't watch this "live" - but I was so excited to see the YT cut last night. As mentioned before, I WORKED ON THIS MOVIE all during production as the unit publicist, and it was a real high point of my life (pun intended/not intended). I was SO THRILLED as it dawned on Cassie that there was no major plot, it was just a slice of life, and how much she related to these amazing, complex, and thoughtful characters.

For some reason, I'd never actually seen this movie before, although I was aware of it's existence. Everyone is in this movie! I was familiar with almost everyone in this cast.

Hello Cassie, great reaction. I have the soundtrack on CD.

Please do a swedish movie about high school kids, when they discovers love. We all know which movie I'm talking about 😁😆🥰

Yes Ma'am that was school in the 70's in Texas. Not sure if other states were the same. The teachers were all from the 60's so mostly hippies with a degree lol.

Do check out “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” from 1982 and then for something a little different, “Singles” from 1992 which features Bridget Fonda from “It Could Happen to You.” It’s a nice romantic comedy set right around when Grunge Music was a thing.

This was my era but never had this at my school. Seems like more a California vibe. I think this movie didn’t do great when released but more popular later when the actors became known.

American Graffiti is a must watch. Thanks for another great reaction and have a great week! 🍿💛👏

This was like American Graffiti but in the 70's. At my high school, there was a small pot head crowd which I was not a part of. I was known, but I wasn't very popular, besides, I had no earthly idea what to do with women. They were way too complicated for my small brain to handle. As it turns out, the women didn't really know what to do either. Ah, the innocence, ignorance and bliss of youth.

I was a freshman in the late 70’s and graduated in 81. We did not have the pot culture but there was definitely house parties, cruising town and drinking. This feels so familiar. It was a wonderful time pre-smart phone and even Internet. There was an innocence and feeling of Americana. We mastered the art of hanging out. Girls, cars, music and that first high school job.

As a high school grad from 1975, I really don’t think Cassie would have liked living in the seventies.

Huh? I don't see either Jessica Pare or Piper Perabo! (I'm OK with not seeing Mischa Barton.) 6:05 And now I'm role-reversing 5:46 6:16 Nope, it's your beloved Jack Nicholson. 8:10 So it is. Parker Posey, "Queen of Indies." 19:53 Plural? Nice reaction. Needed more boron. :-)

There’s that moment near the end where Floyd stands up on the football field and it’s just a shot of him staring off into the distance. I think it’s the most powerful moment in the film. All day he’s been told to think about his future, but here in this moment, he’s surrounded by his friends? enjoying the moment. He stares down an ocean of uncertainty ahead of him, but in that moment he is just there and he’s okay. Just livin’ life.

Randall "Pink" knew he could be ballsy because he is starting quarterback and they really need him to play. They would have cut him already if they did not need him.

The thumbnail needs to be next to dazed and confused in the dictionary. 😂

This movie was THE movie with one of my groups of friends. I was the drinker in a group of stoners and my best buddy was 100% Slater. lol Such good times.

Yes, the drinking age was 18 in 1976.

Cassie, this movie is about just what was shown-teenagers on their last day of school in 1976 in the US. It is also just a good hang out movie.

My friend on the baseball always wore this t-shirt to practice and I never knew what it was referring to. Lol. Until like seven years later when I discovered Led Zeppelin at the same time as this movie.

"Let me tell you what Melba Toast is packing here, all right. We got 4:11 Positrac outback, 750 double pumper, Edelbrock intake, bored over 30, 11 to 1 pop-up pistons, turbo jet 390 horsepower. We're talkin' some fu*kin' muscle."

Alright Alright Alright

Whenever I see the title Dazed and Confused, I think of Led Zeppelin's Dazed and Confused from their debut album!

L I V I N!!!!!!!!!!!!
