Ahh, 2003. No cell phones, everyone was more social and friendly. No social media so no arguing. Everyone paid attention to their surroundings. Made friends and participated in everything. Good time. World has changed so much in 20 years.

The best part of this movie was how accurate it was. For us who lived back then, you knew someone who was exactly like every single character in the movie. Plus it captured the mood and atmosphere of the time so well. We had jamming music, hot muscle cars, and horrible styles. But it was so much better than today.
I was born in Texas in 1975. I can remember my parent’s friends being just like these characters. The Wooderson character in my family/friends was my uncle. He was nearly the same guy hanging out with the younger guys (my dad’s friends) looking to score with the younger girls and drove a TransAm Firebird just like Burt Reynold’s with the huge bird on the hood. I remember thinking he was the coolest guy around but it turns out he was just a massive loser.
@Larry Snyder The early 90s was the same way. I can’t wait until someone makes our “Dazed And Confused”. They’ll probably have to call it “Whatever” or “Nevermind”. Whatever they call it, it’s going to have one hell of a soundtrack. I feel a bit sorry for GenY/Z, though. Their soundtrack is going to be sad AF and the movie is just going to be a bunch of awkward kids sitting around staring into their phones afraid of social situations.
@@geoffgordon9569 where im from, there was a skating rink that was the teenage hangout where I used to go to every Friday night with my friends and it was always packed. I met so many girls there and it was such a blast. But it got bought out and turned into a book store. So our next hangout was about half a mile away. It was a bowling alley, pool hall, bar, and arcade all rolled into one. Unfortunately it's a Target now. I feel sorry for teenagers today because they've got nowhere to go.
That must have been pretty fun to do! Looking back on the 90s, it seems like just yesterday.... My 1975 GM pickup like the one in the carwash scenes is still alive! It was my real everyday vehicle that took me to high school in the morning and thru sonic drive in when evening came around. Me and some friends fixed it up in auto tech class back in the day and cruzed the strip in town every weekend.... Man, I wish I had the money we spent at Etna on regular unleaded alone! Truck is still medium metallic blue with the Western Auto "mangles" chrome wagon wheels on it too but no stainless trim now except for the wheel well arches. The original 350 motor under the hood is still banging on all 8 though and I still get it every chance I can!
@@crabbinmoose8583 Don't sell it. The 73 to 87 trucks are very expensive for nice examples. Stepsides and short/wide box trucks are the most expensive right now.
@@benruether8294 Yep, I hear ya man! Had a buddy named Shawn back in high school who had a '73 stepside in gray primer. Still had the original grill in it and chrome leg pipe dual exhaust. Saw him and his wife the other evening and he said he wished he hadn't sold his. Had a boy offer me $2,700 at the gas pump one day about 11-12 years ago when times were tight. Gas was extremely expensive during Obamas mess but my memories were not for sale then and they aren't now either even of we have a Potato in office. I keep the truck alive for all those kids who didn't have a nice ride for their first vehicle, but none the less worked hard to make something cool out of what they had. Always keep L I V I N' !
The man who Matthew McConaughey’s character was based on a real person whose real last name was Wooderson. He passed away a couple years ago could you please be respectful of this and call him by the actor’s name.
@@dang1861 Yeah but you'd be partying too much, fucking too much and clubbing too much and risk taking too much and you wouldnt even know any better so you wouldnt miss it
Dazed and Confused is great. I’ve watched it many times. It’s almost hard for me to watch it these days though as it reminds me of a tine I’ll never get back. Those fun party days are long long gone

I was at this party. Only 10 bucks to get in. The actors were scattered about the grounds, not just under that tent. I remember eavesdropping on Parker Posey with some fans and her being hilarious and easy going with everybody. Fun night.
That last week of school as a senior and first week after. Nothing else in life is like that time. Of course, we are too young to understand that when experiencing it.
I remember the last day of high school very well. There were a few groups of us standing outside and we were excited but there was also a sadness and strangeness about it . We didn’t know what it was at the time but now I do
I grew up in Austin and still live here.this movie just resonates with me because it portrays what Austin used to be like such a cool laid-back easy place. The high school used in the movie. Was actually Bedicheck Junior high in which I attended in the 70s. Just remember this era so well.

I remember me and my buddies not knowing much about this movie and left there thinking this was one of the best ever, and the soundtrack still holds up
Crazy how in 2 years they can do a 30 year reunion; which I think would be amazing. I was in high school when this movie came out so I felt like I could relate to what these kids were going through (even though it was in a completely different era). The mid 90's & mid 70's had alot more in common than the mid 90's and current times.
It’s the 70s but the movie so god damned character rich(moreso than nearly any film if you think about it) that it becomes a timeless coming of age movie
Yeah, well said… I graduated in 93’ and after the doors movie came out, the early and mid-90s was almost a rehash of the 60s and 70s. What an era it was.
Same here. Class of '93. Thank God we didn't get the hazing, but pretty much everything else was the same. Lots of tie dye t-shirts and I still had my '68 Nova. Kids blasting Zepplin in the parking lot and parties out in a field on weekends.
Class of '90 here, and I wouldn't trade the music and everything about my time growing up -- the music boom out of the Seattle/Washington area is some of the best music of all time - the tragedy of losing Soo damn many amazingly talented musicians is a tough pill to swallow, still, but we keep on keeping on.. God bless, and I can't wait for the uncut movie to finally get put out for us🎉
Absolutely...I also feel like us GEN X kids who were in high school in the 90s..have alot more parallels to the 70s more than any other decade because we were the decade birthed from a radical cultural shift change that occurred in the 80s... The same way the kids from 70s did from the 60s. We weren't the first wave of a generational change but we were the aftermath of it so we kinda took what happened the decade before us and upped the ante a bit... And learned from the mistakes those from the previous decade made. Just like in the 60s.. they were spawned from the ultra CLEAN AND Conservative family oriented climate of the 50s... Where drugs music and POP CULTURE started to influence the world with TELEVISION starting to be in every house hold.. and that global awareness had the youth kinda in revolt...so came the drugs..that influenced the music and movies then the 70s took that and perfected it Then the 80s industrialized ALL OF THAT... Then the war on drugs started ..with crack being born that totally CHANGED THE WORLD. And we took all of that and perfected it... Idk just my 0.02
AWESOME! Me & my friends dressed in those "seniors" outfits for a group Halloween costume in the 90's. We kept yelling "Alright you freshman bitches!" all night. It was so fun. Even though we are 90's teens, this movie parallel's my high school years too--car culture, driving around looking for homies to hang out with, getting someone to buy our booze, parties in the woods, & that feeling that it would never end. We completely idolized the 70's, would go out disco dancing every Wed night, dressed in that style, & loved all the music.
Same here🙋 even tho I was living my teens in the 90s we lived breathed and idolized this movie. It was crazy but only 20 years later and my high school years were so parallel to this. This movie was our lives. Salute to you Senior
I was 19 when this movie came out and my gf was a senior in high school. She went to see the movie with some friends and i asked her how it was and she goes, it was ok..they just smoked pot n stuff. So i didnt go see it. It came on HBO one night in like 95. I was about to go to a party and got into watching it i skipped the party and stayed home. Friggin awesome movie!
My wife and I borrowed Dazed and Confused from a friend on VHS right after it came out. We watched it on a Saturday afternoon. At the end of the movie it felt like the party was over too soon. So we watched it again (after running out for more beer and rewinding the tape 😆). Watched it at least three times that day. Probably another 300 times since.
Hell yeah, we watched that movie Soo many times that we knew probably all of the little nuances and most every line.. **Always loved the way the football player that talked really fast slipped through the doorway as it was closing.. just little things that made it even better 🙏❤️❤️🙏
Im 18 and my mom was like "you should come watch this movie called Dazed and Confused with me" (on 4/20 of all days lol). And i was like..uhhh okay. And ever since that day ive been infatuated with 70s culture and lifestyle. Im a senior this year, so some of this i can totally parellel, driving around with friends looking for more friends to party with, smoking joint in the woods, and more parties. The only part were missing is car culture and good music (which is sadly a huge part). I would give almost anything to go back and expirance a real friday night party as a senior in the 70s (and even the 80s, cause im obsessed with that decade too)
Damn I feel old now... A shame so many from the movie never acted again but I guess I can only remember them as who they were in this movie. It say get them all back and do a reunion type series at a big class reunion. They did a good job with the Wet Hot American Summer follow ups. I just wouldn't want it to hurt the movie
1977 the summer before my freshman year in high school, there was a girl name Julie who was going to be a senior that year. she was my first real make out, ...no home runs, just fun. Some of the scenes in this movie reminded me of those days, because Julie did drive me home that night and I had drank a few beers.....It's a shame we can't get those days back, or at least revisit them from time to time....... Full dream control or a time machine would be great.... What I'd do to go back to the age of analog, and bring these younger generations back with me. I'd say many of them would choose to stay.......
This movie along with Half Baked and Friday are the trifecta of all fun stoner movies. I spent the latter part of the 90s watching those three classics on VHS! Lol Dazed is truly a timeless classic that will never die!
I was class of 1977 and from Texas to boot, so when this movie came out in 93 it was a must see for me., I can't tell you how many times since then I have watched it, I purchased the Criterion special edition DVD boxed set when it was released, I also bought a wall poster for my office. Still love this movie as much today as I did in 1993
I miss those sweet toes of the 70's, this world today would complain and find fault with the sweet toes but not us, as teens in the 70's, we loved them all. 🤠
"Say man, you got joint?" "Nah man, not on me." "Be a lot cooler if you did." In that moment, I was hooked. My favorite movie, with 2 of my favorite actors, and a phenomenal soundtrack.
World was a better place then! Senior in high school In 03. One of my favorite movies of all time! Staple of my youth! Had it on VHS, watched it every night in middle school!
I graduated "high" school in Texas 4 years before the movie is supposed to take place. And I can honestly say the movie is spot on about the music, times and generation. We were living the life, and we knew it. Wild times. Don't know what to think about today's generation, but I wish you luck.
Man watching this makes me long for the pre-COVID days of being able to go to a festival and not have to wory about breathing the same air as someone else. Here's to a hopeful 30 yr reunion of the cast in a post-COVID world.

This is such a sweet video. All these fans turning out to enjoy a favorite film and all these talents behind the whole thing there for it too. Hard to believe how innocent 2003 seems now. 😢
That was so awesome. A large portion of the cast including McConaughey and Adams who are such major stars. Probably my 3rd favorite movie after American Graffiti and Breaking Away!
I was born in 1957 and graduated high school in 1975. I think Dazed is 1976 graduation so that’s damn close. They really nailed the era especially for an ostensibly southern high school. It helps a few were native southerners. I’d been living in South America and had heard about this movie coming out and ran and rented it soon as I came back in 1995. I was not disappointed. It’s a classic. Oddly enough even though it’s only one year difference, 1972-75 high school was a bit more hippie than the mid to late 70s which was more stadium rock. Lord though the baggie pants, puca shell necklaces, and clog heel shoes...man...and always smoking weed. Fire Towers and keg parties another commonality. Man the girls were so pretty then and skinnier. Jocks preppies and freaks. It’s hard to explain today. One weird factoid. All my kids still listen to my music from a bit to a lot depending on which of the five. The longevity of 1960s till 1990s electric guitar based rock and rock and roll is amazing isn’t it. We were last year to register for the draft. It was admittedly an easy time for us. Too easy it can sure be argued. One caveat. Pot in moderation. Don’t be a couch tater. Grab life and live it and try to see all you can. Don’t just read about it. And of all those folks who seem so important in high school you’ll be lucky if you’re still talking to a half dozen of them at 50. Be fair and stand up for yourself and screw being popular. Be original and think for yourself
When I was stationed in Misawa Japan we watched this movie so much we made a drinking game of it. Every time “Mitch” touched his nose or hair, it was a drink. When his hand stayed on his hair or nose you drink until he moves it...lol
This is the only movie that takes places in a high school that I love. It’s real and raw and genuinely relatable regardless of the era. It’s about being with friends, no heavy drama, and living in the moment while having fun around company. I enjoyed watching this movie for the first time while having a cold beer. It was definitely an experience.
I’m only 24 and when I was in high school it was the same exact way 😂 nothing changes just the things you see and the environment but the people, you always be able to find these people.
I met Matthew McConaughey at a Cleveland Indians baseball game when he was making White Boy Rick and he was wearing an Alright Alright hat. He talked to me a few minutes and I gave one of his sons a game ball that he was pictured with on his social media pages and publications. I was sitting in the first row behind the Indians dugout and he was sitting up behind homeplate where there was a net and couldn't get a ball. I even offered for him and the kids to come down and sit with me. Moment I will never forget.
I love this movie. I experienced high school about 20 years after this setting. And I have to say there were still many many bits of that culture and lifestyle still around. In the late nineties, for me it was more like in the movie than it is today. Way more.
I love this movie, I get this nostalgic feeling. I love all the classic cars they have in there. It would’ve been cool if they would add one of the cars drag racing on the streets. But overall I love this movie. #1 favorite
Great movie! I'm a few years older, class of 69, but D and C has all the elements of my experience - jocks & freaks, keggers, muscle cars at the drive-in, buying beer at 16, fights and flirting. Good times.
Yeah the cool thing back then is you get in a fight but the two of you will have a beer after and party. Not today punks are scared of an ass whooping now too scared to fight they just shoot or jump you when your outnumbered.

I remember the first time I watched this movie..with my dad and it was his era..the next day he had me skip school and picked up my friends grabbed some beer and got us so drunk my homie face planted into our microwave..love you pops
I hope when I get to these guys age, I have as much fun. I’m 13 and I love this movie but when I see this movie, I feel partly sad because I don’t think when I’m these teens age, I’ll have as much fun. I hope my years of high school have as much fun. And I hope this music makes a comeback. Dazed and Confused, one of my favorites.
Not only do I love the film and all the music, but it's total sense memory; I could smell the summer, feel my clogs shuffling in the dusty summer sand... It's just really, really well done, well cast and Mathew was a great last minute find. I was only in grade school, but yeah...Just goes to show we also need a 90's film. Nostalgia is contagious. I feel like writing a screenplay now lol John Hughes was a hero of mine....
They’re called smartphones these days, boomer. We also got way better weed and faster cars. A Tesla would spank all those classics. Hell, people are building cheap ass Honda civics that make more power
@@kindadecent9754 the cars are ugly as fuck nowadays. I would take a beater 69 Charger over a pristine straight piped Honda any day. The only modern car that looks good is the Challenger. You know why it looks so good? Because it’s based on the 70 Challenger.
@@kindadecent9754 We had BETTER MUSIC, slick. And, the chicks weren't as uptight. Have fun playing with your Tesla and smartphone. Sounds like real visceral experiences. Lmfao. 😎👍
I have never watched the movie and this week I can say I finally have.... one thing I can say is, I so fkn miss high school days, not the studying, cuz i didn't lol but the friendship/bonds... made me really miss my friends since most dont keep in touch
i was in baghdad, Iraq when y’all had this reunion. I love this movie very much! I’ve always heard there was a movie called Dazed and Confused but i had never seen it…it wasn’t until probably sometime between 2010-2014 when i first watched it…such a great movie that never gets old!! I can’t believe it took me this long to watch it!
The cars and the music in this movie are amazing...My senior class copied this movie and paddled the freshman and almost got expelled. Then we drank beers with them afterward..that was 20 years ago. Today we would be in jail.
I saw this movie for the first time on MTV when I was a freshmen in high school and that was 2008 and it became my favorite movie ever and set the tone for the rest of high school for me. By the time I was a senior I was able to make out who was each character from this movie in my friend group. Different music but same good ass vibes!
Most accurate high school party feeling when Mitch is drunk walking through the crowd at the party in woods. EXACTLY how I remember those nights. Wish could go back
I always tell this story. I was in my middle school bedichek, here in Austin Texas,while they were filming. We had no idea what was going on until the movie came out!
I was 8 in 76... it was so different than it is today. I was the generation after. Generation X. However ..the cars.. clothes & music are accurate. I would love to go back for a visit..
I love this movie and it is so true of how high school was in Texas in the late 70's! I graduated in 80! Cruising looking cool, rock blasting, drinking Strawberry Boonesfarm!
Haha it looks as fun as when they were filming the movie. Great cast who didn't seem too big to come back and interact and have a good time. MM seems like your every day person.
There was a pool hall in Arvada Colorado that reminded me so much of the Emporium. I used to love getting a 12-pack on a Friday night and throwing this movie in, Fun Times
