That's because it's age restricted.

2022-08-31 03:42:57 +0000 UTCIt's such a defining 90s movie, and I'm new here, so I thought only the 80s was allowed, but I hope it makes the polls one day. (But also, Almost Famous is amazing too, and since Ashleigh stayed on a famous tour bus recently, it reminded me...)

2022-08-31 00:20:10 +0000 UTCYes, I know!! One of my favorites. I actually rewatched it recently, and it has become an incredible time capsule. Matt Dillon's character was based on, and initially was supposed to be played by, Chris Cornell, but he was not a great actor. Still, he makes a cameo in it that is now heartbreaking to see.

2022-08-31 00:15:44 +0000 UTCI guess I'll miss this one. It requires a YouTube account, and I don't have (nor wish to have) one.

2022-08-30 02:54:55 +0000 UTCNow we've found Cameron Crowe's work, can I recommend Almost Famous? Such a great rock and roll movie!!

2022-08-29 11:30:07 +0000 UTCI love Matthew McConaughey in Dazed and Confused. The cars in it are great......the clothes....are accurate....but ugly.... Hopefully, Ashleigh get the chance to see it one day.

2022-08-29 07:59:50 +0000 UTC"That's what I love about High school girls. I get older and they stay the same age". One of the creepiest lines I've ever heard. Love Dazed and Confused. I graduated in 74 which is 3 years before D&C took place. This depiction of high school is so what my high school years was like.

2022-08-29 02:23:18 +0000 UTCFINALLY!!!! My 14 yr old daughter just bought a pair of checkered Vans today. Sean Penn is the reason we even know what Vans are. Read the book by cameron Crowe!

2022-08-28 23:57:32 +0000 UTCKind of a hidden joke: "Play side one of Led Zeppelin 4." The song that was playing ("Kashmir") was on Zeppelin's "Physical Graffiti" album. Pretty much only high school Zep-heads like me were like, "Oh damn, dude is so clueless."

2022-08-28 22:51:52 +0000 UTCAm I the only one to catch that Ashleigh let it slip out (no pun intended) that she swallows? LOL :-0

2022-08-28 18:19:48 +0000 UTCA fun reaction to a fun movie...as someone who went to high school in the 80's(and ran with a very wild crowd lol) I can attest this movie is pretty dead on...Mike's car was an AMC Gremlin I can remember my mom briefly owning one in the 70's...as I recall the "feather hair thingies" were attached to roach clips...another nostalgic teen ensemble comedy I think you would like is "Dazed and Confused" which is set in 1976 Austin, Texas(and has a killer Classic Rock soundtrack)...hopefully you will get to it someday

2022-08-28 17:32:39 +0000 UTCAnother fun teen movie where almost everyone in it becomes famous later in life is The Hollywood Knights (1980). The punch scene is great, lots of dirty laughs. I liked it a lot more than American Graffiti.

2022-08-28 17:07:38 +0000 UTCBefore schools had Xerox machines they made copies on mimeograph machines and the ink had a very distinctive smell. Sniffing the paper was something everyone did and I remember doing it many times myself.

Richard LaMance
2022-08-28 16:05:01 +0000 UTCthis is the movie that the writer went undercover in a high school for a little bit to observe actual high schoolers right?

2022-08-28 15:57:37 +0000 UTCDazed and Confused is so much better than this movie. The cast is better too. Glad Ashleigh is getting this one out of the way.
