September 24, 1993 - "Dazed and Confused", which takes place during the 70s, was one of the best movies of the 90s.

September 29, 2022 - My other favorite Dazed And Confused fact is that Linklater (obviously) wanted to use the Led Zeppelin song by that name in the film. Jimmy Page okayed it but then Robert Plant said no. ... McConaughey's character was supposed to be a way smaller part too.
