    Dazed And Confused is the only movie I've seen that comes close to depicting what small town southern high school life was like in the 1970s. It was spot on in many ways. I recognized every single character in it.

    Most movies about southern HS life back then show a bunch of bubbas and the rest are uptight church going folk. In reality we had all of the types in Dazed And Confused. We went to big parties in the sticks, we cruised Main, we hung out in parking lots, all the things in that movie happened most every Friday and Saturday night in Cedartown Ga. in the mid 70s.

    What American Graffiti was for teen age night life in Southern California in the 1960s DAC was for my time and place.

    Can't believe I didn't think of Dazed til now.

    Oh, and come at me: Reading through all these lists I'm not sure if I should admit it but I've not seen ANY of the Marvel movies. Nothing against them...just one of those things where you don't get into something from the beginning, hear from everyone how great it is, but just kinda let it pass you by.

    At this point IDK if I'd want to start from the beginning. I think if I were to try one it would be one of the ancillary ones like Deadpool as opposed to one of the Avengers ones. And I think I'll pass on the one with Captain Marvel..not a big Brie Larson fan.

    @Palm_City_Dawg

    MAJOR props for knowing about Kentucky Fried Movie. Not many people know about that one. And if you haven't seen it, you must check out Movie 43. It's very much in the same fashion as Kentucky Fried Movie. It's got probably the biggest all star cast I've ever seen in one flick. It's rib cracking funny (but not for the feint of heart). I can't believe how much it flew under the radar. Guess society is just a little to uppity for movies like that these days.

    all right all right 
  • WCDawgWCDawg Posts: 17,293 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    Kentucky Fried Movie was written and made by the same team that wrote and made Airplane a few years later. They also wrote and made the Police Squad movies.

  • RxDawgRxDawg Posts: 2,922 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    American Graffiti was young life in the 60s.

    Dazed and Confused was young life in the 70s.

    80s? Probably tons of movies represent that era.

    Go was a movie that was fantastic and portrayed life in the 90s. I probably watched that movie a million times in college. Decent soundtrack too.

    Can’t Hardly Wait was a pretty accurate representation of 90s life. Kicking and Screaming (Baumbach) too

    80s, for a vintage laugh, Fast Times At Ridgemont High.
