Let’s get talking about Dazed and Confused, and how great this movie is. I am going to talk about a few of my favorite parts of this film and what I liked best about it. I laughed watching this film, mainly because all my roommates who joined us for the screen wished they all could have grown up in the 70s. I am not sure if I would want the, but I would not mind having some of these cars or freedom they had.

Lets first talk about the hazing that we see throughout the movie. The idea of this hazing is no longer allowed in our society. I think some of these things should be allowed. Not the paddling or the pouring the condiments on the girls. I think some hazing is helpful, but it is interesting how times have changed. I did find it funny how the upper classmen were waiting at the baseball game or the mom answering the door with a shotgun

Now let’s talk about the best part of the movie, the music and the cars. The soundtrack to this film was awesome and had so many great hits. I mean they played just one hit after another. I will let you go through this playlist and try to find one song that was not a top 100 hit.

On to the cars with the students driving a GTO judge, Chevrolet Chevelle SS, Trans Am and many more. I am not sure if this film was trying to be a car flick, but it could have been. Every car I saw for the most part is collectible today and worth a good amount of money restored to look like the ones in this film. I personally love the Chevrolet SS, or their super sport line and the GTO Judge is one hell of a cool car. Most of these cars are worth a pretty penny, for example the GTO when it was release for sale in 1970 cost about $6,000 from the factory, now you can find it on some dealers for close to $70,000. It is awesome because these cars a dream for many people who like the muscle cars and to find them in this condition is not cheap. https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/pontiac/gto-judge/2346587.html

I think this would be a fun introduction to high school and getting taken under the wing to show the ropes. I know I had a few upper classmen who I would hangout with and learn the ways. Those were some fun, but long nights I can relate to in the movie. Just wish we had a car with a trunk full of beer like they did. I mean these times seem so simple, for anyone 18 can go buy beer. I laugh about that, but that’s how it used to be and for many other countries it is like that. Also, the fact that the delivery guy showed up too early with the kegs was just funny. The dad was not having that for one second and knew right away what was happening. Better than that was him answering the door and all the kids run away when he opens the door.

In “class” we got to hear and learn more about peoples movie choices for cult films. Let star with “The Shining”. This is a great horror film that is so quotable and one that draws you in so well. I have never known that a movie that was more creepy and odd could keep me so focused. I am not sure why I like this more, whether it is the idea behind it or the fact that it has Jack Nicholas in it. This is such a great movie and I am would never known that it was not well liked at first . Who doesn’t love making the joke about “here’s Johnny”, I mean many people said it in class.

Next up, was Jennifer’s Body and this was a film I have never seen. I know we talked about how it played to the male fantasy by using Megan Fox, but for me; I think every kid my age knew of and had a middle school or high school or even both crush on her. She was part of why I saw the Transformers movie series and that I do enjoy cars, if you could not tell by the earlier section. I am not sure that I will ever see this film, but it was cool to learn about and hear the opinions on why it is a cult film. I did enjoy learning about it and how even by blasting Megan Fox’s image everywhere, it still could not help this movie to succeed. I guess a pretty face isn’t the only thing a film need. I mean depending upon the film, sometimes that might work.

Then we ended with “Everybody Wants some” which is a college version of Dazed and Confused. I think this will be a film I will enjoy again just like the one we watched. I can already see some cool cars and even some very funny parts. Went from the 70s, so now we move onto the 80s. It is only natural to do so.
