Perceptive, witty & extremely likeable film. You can't
really help but be carried along by it. Features a great
soundtrack as well. Besides we all know a 'Stoner'
character, I'm sure!

From start to finish of Dazed and Confused it was a flood
of memories for me.I was 14 in 1976 and was just comming on
to that whole scene like in the movie bell bottom jeans
puka beads i even had a belt buckle that was pipe. If a
person did'nt live through those times because being to
young or to old,it is a time in history that will never be
repeated again and i'm just glad i was there to experiance
it for myself now being 37 years old i have grown up to be
a pretty hip adult. thank you peace to all man! gh

Dazed and Confused.

This has to be one of the greatest movies ever made!
Slater is te best character and a great perve! All I can
say is that I wish the 90's were as fun as the 70's!

I am 35 years old.I was a teenager in the late 1970'S.I
am
absolutely captivated by this movie.I have seen it at
least
ten times or more.The movie brings back fond memories of
that era.And I absolutely love 1970's rock music.The film
makes me wish that I could go back in time.

it was a good movie, most people dont know what they are
missing out of life and this movie says it all.

The point of this movie is not the movie. The point is
it's
a night we all had at least once (and if not, well too bad
for you!). The music is great, the clothes are great, the
girls are babes, and everyone is cool. Matt McConnahey's
character is a walking laugh riot. And, of course, you can
smell the weed through your VCR. It's simply one of the
gteatest stoner flicks ever!

This movie is an absolute classic. It is one of my
favorite all time movies. I can watch anytime any amount of
times.. The one liners, are great.... i can memorize the
entire movie. "how's it going man?" fixin' to feel a whole
lot better"

So if you are "cool man" you'll love this movie it is
great...

Beth Yepsen | 9:46 p.m. Dec. 29, 1999

This movie was the best. It's the only movie I can watch
several times in a row. I love it!

BenRodriguez | 12:51 p.m. Jan. 31, 2000

tyler | 9:32 a.m. Feb. 10, 2000

Jaden | 5:18 p.m. June 26, 2000

one of my fave all time films. Slater is the man!@#!

Thomas Imig | 7:35 a.m. July 12, 2000

I've seen "Dazed and Confused"on the last week-end and it
is quite the best movie I've ever seen!!!
I wanna have more material from this movie, but whereever I
look, I don't find something! If you can give me links,
pictures or whatever about this movie, please do it because
I love Dazed and Confused!
I don't know if you know the scene where the freshmen girls
are on the parking place?!?!
There is one girl who I'm realy interested in!!!
She has to ask a senior if he wants to marry her, and he
answers what she can do for him!
Then he sais: Make so (he opens his mouth)
She opens her mouth and he means: you smell out of your
mouth!!
When you know whats her name please give it to me!!
thx
Sorry for the bad english, I'm only a german guy who learns
a little bit english in school!!!
CYA!

Well As i read above the four stars doesn't cover it, and
me rabling on wouldn't give it justice, every one i know
that has seen the fim thinks it is the best film they have
ever seen, and they would be right, so if you havn't seen
it see it or i will personaly come over there and stab you
all. Puit it this way if every one on the planet had seen
this film we may be able to re live the 70's, i
unfortunatly mist them, but i try my hrdest to re create
them after seing this film...............

D and C positively took me back to Texas summer nights
keggers at the lake in the late 70's where the scene was
mellow, libations flowed, and noone was packing. These
times are too uptight...glad I have those memories.
Excellent film/documentary.

lady | 3:49 p.m. Nov. 21, 2001

WOW! 4 stars are not enough. CHEERS*

jai | 10:16 a.m. Jan. 21, 2003

Sadly only four stars are available for this awesome movie,
This is the best movie i have ever seen, so wonderfuly
played out. GENIUS is all i can say.

Eddie Bowers | 1:09 a.m. Feb. 28, 2005

One of my all time favorite movies ever. I've watched it
to many times to count but everytime I watch it I pick up
on something new that I missed before. Great cast, awesome
script, it really captures the feel and mood of the 70's.
It is and will remain a favorite and in my personal
selection for the rest of my time here.

wesley | 2:00 a.m. April 24, 2006

i can't think of anything to add that would make this
movie any better, my favourite of all time.we also had a
game-room like the emporium in our town, if you were
caught in there you was COOL.

elizabeth tene | 10:33 p.m. Aug. 10, 2006
