Things I thought were cool about this movie:
- Everyone knew each other.
- The guys and girls had split story lines.
- The "oddballs" (Cynthia,Tony&Mike) were the only mixed-gender group.
- Pink taking Mitch under his wing.
- Jodi taking Sabrina under her wing.
- O'Bannion being douchiest of the boys.
- Darla being the bitchiest of the girls.
Anyone else?
Oh yeah, and I also liked :
- Wooderson's love for redheads.
- Don acknowledging Sabrina. (Giving her a beer)
- Shavonne relating to two groups of people. (The bitchy girls and the cool girls)
- Jodi looking out for Mitch.
- A junior falling for Mitch
~Mel letting Mitch keep the change and giving his pool opponents a beer.
~Pink introducing Mitch and Julie (clearly he was trying to get something going and it worked)
~Wooderson helping break up the fight
~Tony inviting Sabrina with them for breakfast
~Slater's willingness to share his stash w/ anyone
~Mr. Payne's bow tie (always makes me chuckle)
Would I watch or like the movie if any of the actors in the movie had no career?
shareDepends on your taste...when I first watched it I didn't know Ben and Matthew were in it...in fact I didn't even recognize Ben Affleck at first lol. I love character movies so I loved it instantly, it's shot so well and the music is awesome!
shareThe only thing I liked about this film was the music. As for the rest: just like "Boyhood", I'm not interested in Richard Linklater's fantasy teenage years.

I love the scene where late into the party at the moon tower Benny is sitting in a deck chair in the back of a pickup and attempts to stand up, wobbles on his feet and immediately decides to sit back down as standing was not a good idea... !! I have so been there!!
shareLol yeah, that part was good and subtle
shareBecause it's one of the greatest movies ever made?
None of these actors were known at the time this movie was made.

I think that person is giving a reason why they personally like the movie...bc at the time no one was big star and it may be enjoyable for some to see the stars before they were famous.
shareI like it for the nostalgia and that I grew up in Austin. If you weren't shy and unsure of yourself as a teen back then, it was nothing but pure fun. Otherwise it was a life of loneliness and ostracizing.
Today's teens may be flatliners, but political correctness, more acceptance, and electronic devices have alleviated loneliness for many

I thought the oddball group was the best. I could relate to them based on my high school life. Wooderson and Slater were just fun to watch.
shareOne thing I love about "Dazed and Confused:" the endless number of great quotes. If you don't believe me, just look at the "quotes" section of IMBD and try not to smile.
-after hazing and humiliating all the freshman girls the seniors drive them all home
-all the senior guys (excluding Benny and O'Banion) embrace Mitch and treat him like one of the guys despite him being a freshman and busting the hell out of him just hours before
-Pickford was the hottest guy in this movie ( which explains why he had the hottest girl)
-Pink could do so much better than Simone
