Dazed and Confused
1993 · TMDB 7.3
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.
Why it matters
Richard Linklater's ode to the last day of school in 1976 is a sun-drenched, weed-scented time capsule. Its meandering, hangout structure perfectly evokes the aimless, endless summer days, and the film's authenticity has made it a touchstone for generations.
