ITS AT THE MOONTOWER; FULL KEGS;.. EVERYBODYS GONNA BE THERE...YOU OUGHTA GO!

God Damn this really is one HELL of a great movie. I bought the video when I was fourteen and have seen it nine hundred gagillion times AND I STLL LOVE IT! This movie always puts me in a good mood. Every charecter is like one of my friends when I was in High School, and even though I know every single solitary word to this film, it still makes me laugh.
WOODERSON is my favorite charecter, I aspire to be him when I'm thirty. "I love those red heads man"
The music is the balls, and the plot is excellent. Allright, so there IS no plot but its still great! Hot chicks, partying, backwards keg deliveries, The In and OUT burger, The emporium, GENE!!!, THE MOON TOWER! "You gotta do what Randall-Pink FLOYD wants to do...."
YEAH, This movie is great!

Another great movie by RICHARD LINKLATER that isn't so DAZED but much equally CONFUSED is is 1991 film called "SLACKER." This one is a lot more "INDIE" but an equally entertaining film. LINKLATER writes excellent dialouge in that one too.

FLASHBACK EDITION= 1 star CRITERION COLLECTION= 5stars
This review is strictly for the awful "flashback Edition" not the movie. The movie is an easy 5 stars in my book. Attention! Dazed and confused fans I have good news and bad news. As you know this flashback edition released by universal is clearly not a worthy re-release, yeah the Dts 5.1 is great, but sound can only entertain you so much. The nine deleted scenes really don't enhance one's insight of the film at all, and the two featurettes have nothing to do with the film. Alright your aware of the bad news, now the good news is that universal no longer has the rights to this film so you know what that means right? The rolls royce of DVD's is taking charge, hence, the Criterion Collection is stepping up to the plate and handling this cult classic movie. This criterion release should come out in summer of 2006. Now i know what you fans are asking, "Why couldn't they give this treatment the first time." The problem was universal studios initally were gonna do a 10 year anniversary dvd for the film. This 10 year anniversary edition was only going to exist if Richard Linklater (director) would do a commentary. Unfortunately universal studios imposed a short deadline for the 10 year anniversary release, there wasn't enough time for Richard Linklater to put all the special features, hence, the behind-the-scenes doc. aired on AMC this past September. But at least we dazed and confused fans know that this classic movie is in good hands and will be given the correct dvd treatment. SO WAIT OUT FOR LATE 2006 it will be worth it!

Hands down, the best high school movie ever!
Gosh where to begin. This movie is such and entangled part of my personality, I can't talk to my friends without one of us spitting out a line from this gem.

The plot is so simple it's brilliant, what constitutes one scene in any other movie- makes up the entire 103 minutes: The Juniors at the local high school graduate and fill their day/night with drinking, partying and lots of smoking. No other movie has captured the feeling of actually being in high school than this film. Even though it's set in the 70s, it's still remarkably true today. The students are lost in self discovery, dope, alchohol, sex and exploration.

The characters are timeless. Perhaps the most infamous of them all is the one played by Matthew McConaughey, the creepy older guy still hanging out with the high schoolers. He plays the perv perfectly. Another great character is Ben Aflfeck as the big football player with an anger problem. He's the big jerk that anyone can say, "I know a guy like that." The cast is so geniously aware of the vision in this film, that it is perhaps... flawless. Nobody tries to steal the movie which keeps the movie true-to-life. This should be in every person's collection, period.

The music is as much a part of the movie as the characters. Everything you remember from the 70s from Areosmith, Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent, Lynard Skynard... the list goes on. In fact, there are 2 cds to complete this soundtrack. It's amazing that a movie could liscense so many big names. And the songs are laced throughout the movie so consistantly and precisely that it would keep the viewer entertained even if nobody was speaking in the film.

I just can't say enough about this film. Watch it, rent it, buy it, OWN this treasure, you will not regret it. I grew up in the 80s and It makes me wish I was born a decade earlier!
