1993 Directed by Richard Linklater
The adventures of a group of Texas teens on their last day of school in 1976, centering on student Randall Floyd, who moves easily among stoners, jocks and geeks. Floyd is a star athlete, but he also likes smoking weed, which presents a conundrum when his football coach demands he sign a "no drugs" pledge.

Is it normal to feel nostalgic about a time & place I didn't even exist in?
A day in the lives of a group of teenagers in the Summer of '76. The way Milla licks a joint. Randy "Pink" Floyd, the movie character I always wanted to be. Erotic-Abe-Lincoln dreams. A Neo-McCarthyism pledge-sheet. Slater-alligator. Never tell your friends to take it easy on your kid brother. Making a bong in shop-class. Alright you Freshman fucks listen up. War stories from your teacher. Running to protect your ass. O'Bannion is a dumb-shit and a piss-poor choice to play the next Batman. Mel's Soul Pole. Ducks on a pond. Having your mommy save your ass. Air-raid you little Freshman bitches. A spit-or-swallow marriage proposal. The worst fuckin' time for the keg-of-beer delivery guy to show up at your…
"Imagine how

*Was a 90, now a 100*

i want to own all the outfits from this movie and kiss all the girls from this movie and smoke a joint with all the boys from this movie
Ok, wait a second, let me pick my jaw up from the floor.
Dazed and Confused is another masterpiece from Richard Linklater, whose work has continued to impress. While this isn't as incredible as Boyhood, It's still one of the finest films made about both high-school and the never-ending twilight of youth.
The "story" is nothing. There is really no story. What we have here is a set of miniature character arcs that all take place within a single 24 hour period; the last day of school specifically. The seniors go and try to initiate the incoming freshman, they drink, they smoke weed, they party; and this is basically it. Yet, despite that, Dazed and Confused is monstrously entertaining. The…
