With the
158th pick,
Team MissTeeks selects in the comedy category,
Dazed and Confused. This is one of my favorite movies of all time, and I'm a little surprised it was still available. This movie follows around a group of high school kids on the last day of school in 1976. It stars some future Hollywood hotshots Ben Affleck and Matthew McConaughey, but my favorite character was always
Rory Cochrane as Slater. My parents tell me that this was so much like their days in high school it was scary. It's full of great quotes and has a totally kick-ass soundtrack. My friend and I listen to it in the car all the time.

Some of my favorite quotes:
Simone: I did it when I was a freshman, and you'll do it when you're seniors. but you're doing great. Now fry like bacon, you little freshman piggies. Fry!

Pink: All I'm saying is that if I ever start referring to these as the best years of my life - remind me to kill myself.

Cynthia: God, don't you ever feel like everything we do and everything we've been taught is just to service the future?
Tony: Yeah I know, like it's all preparation.
Cynthia: Right. But what are we preparing ourselves for?
Mike: Death.
Tony: Life of the party.
Mike: It's true.
Cynthia: You know, but that's valid because if we are all gonna die anyway shouldn't we be enjoying ourselves now? You know, I'd like to quit thinking of the present, like right now, as some minor insignificant preamble to something else.

Slater: Behind every good man there is a woman, and that woman was Martha Washington, man, and everyday George would come home, she would have a big fat bowl waiting for him, man, when he come in the door, man, she was a hip, hip, hip lady, man.
