Smoked out hilarious
Ok, being born in 1974 I never got to experience the weirdness of the '70's. I've longed to live in the days of bell bottoms, platforms and the beautiful women with the straight ironed hair. This is one of those movies that captures exactally how I perceive the mid 70's to be. This film is about, well, graduation night and future freshmen and seniors. They basically go around smoking weed and trying to terrorize the up coming freshman. The line up is an all star cast of who's who in movies. Ben Afleck, Mathew Mcconaughey, Jason London and Milla Jovovich.

This is a film that takes a comedic, yet precise look at life in 1976. The music is absolutely awesome and the dialogue will keep you laughing from beginning to end. You get the guy that's always doped up, the jock, the preppy little bi**h and the freshman who wants to fit in. It's hard to describe just what this movie is about because it is really about nothing. One night in 1976 would have been just as good a title as "Dazed and Confused". I love this film. If you enjoy great humor pick this one up.

PERFECT
A perfect time capsule of high school in 1976. This movie has it all: Rock music; Muscle cars; Drugs. The opening scene with Aerosmith's Sweet Emotion playing while an orange GTO cruises through the high-school parking lot can't be beat.

Furthermore, there's a gold mine of talent here. It's a real stoner comedy, as opposed to that politically correct piece of trash Dude Where's My Car.

Going On A Free Ride!!!
"Dazed and Confused" is one of my all time favorite movies. Being a film buff, most people would probably guess my choice would be "The Godfather" or "Citizen Kane". Nope!The top spot of cinema ectasy goes to Richard Linklater's simple homage to teenagers on the first night of summer vacation. Yes, episodicaly following the social rites of different cliques of teenagers, during a 24 hour period had already been done in George Lucas's classic film, "American Graffiti". Richard Linklater more then matches Lucas with probably one of the best films ever made about being a teenager during that nostalgic age that we called the 70's.Linklater's script gives us a realistic, yet very funny portrait of a night in the life of these kids. Also,like Lucas's classic, "Dazed & Confused" features a shining young ensemble of actors at the begining of their careers including Matthew McConaughey, Ben Affleck, Parker Posey, Joey Laurence Adams and Adam Goldberg.The film also features a killer soundtract of '70s rock and pop tunes that feature such favorites as Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Peter Frampton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Foghat, Deep Purple etc. For a great nostalgic '70s trip, I highly recomend this movie!
