The coming-of-age comedy, written and directed by Richard Linklater, had an ensemble cast of actors who would later become stars: Ben Affleck, Milla Jovovich, Parker Posey, Adam Goldberg, Joey Adams and McConaughey.
Entertainment Weekly ranked "Dazed and Confused" third on its list of the 50 Best High School Movies and 10th on its "Funniest Movies of the Past 25 Years."
Here are five trivia facts about the film from Mental Floss:
dada "Dazed and Confused" made just under $8 million in 1993 (on a $6.9 million budget). But it went on to sell a lot of VHS, DVD and Blu-ray copies and its soundtrack went double platinum.
» Several future stars were turned down for roles: Claire Danes, Ashley Judd, Brendan Fraser and Vince Vaughn to name a few.
» Look closely and you might catch Renee Zellweger: The actress pops up as an uncredited extra in one scene. Watch for her in a blue-and-red-striped tank top.
» McConaughey quoted his character, David Wooderson, in his Oscar speech: When the actor won an Oscar in 2014, he dropped two of Wooderson's most timeless lines in his acceptance: "Just keep livin'" and "All right, all right, all right."
» Linklater was sued by some classmates: Some of the last names of characters in Linklater's fictional Lee High School - Wooderson, Floyd, Slater - were taken directly from Linklater's own high school, which became the basis for a defamation lawsuit in 2004. According to the real Wooderson, Floyd and Slater, the movie resulted in kids wanting to party with them all the time. The case was eventually dismissed.
