High School, 1970s, Coming of Age, Comedy, Day-In-Life

It has been fourteen years since I first saw this one, so I thought I'd revisit it. As you all know, I love coming of age films and comedies, so this one is fun for me. It's definitely achieved cult status and has so many memorable scenes and characters. I've also decided to do a mini-marathon of Richard Linklater films, now, since I enjoy his experimental style and range. But Dazed and Confused is worth another viewing in the future, for sure. It's not at the same level as American Graffiti (my favorite high school day-in-life film) but it's still a classic.
