This year’s 4/20 selection is Richard Linklater’s weed, beer & hormone-soaked Americana masterpiece, featuring breakout performances from actors like Matthew McConaughey, Parker Posey and Ben Affleck. (See it, as the film’s original tagline suggests, with a bud.)

America, 1976. The last day of school. Bongs blaze, bell-bottoms ring, and rock and roll rocks. Among the best teen films ever made, Dazed and Confused eavesdrops on a group of seniors-to-be and incoming freshmen. A launching pad for a number of future stars, the first studio effort by Richard Linklater also features endlessly quotable dialogue and a blasting, stadium-ready soundtrack. Sidestepping nostalgia, Dazed and Confused is less about “the best years of our lives” than the boredom, angst, and excitement of teenagers waiting for something to happen. (Janus Films)
