336 - Dazed and Confused (1993)

The real strength of Richard Linklater’s day-in-the-life ensemble film isn’t the cast of all-time 1990s heavy hitters. It isn’t the meticulous recreation of 1976 Austin, Texas. It’s not the teen comedy hijinks. It’s not the banging soundtrack. It’s more that all this combines to present to its film going audience a hyper-specific and long-lost subculture unlike any presented in the vast offerings of films tackling the lives of high school students.
