I’m the movie-on-a-particular-day guy (I wrote the book on it), so I’ve got to point out when there’s a really good one.

The final day of school at Lee High School in the movie Dazed and Confused is May 28, 1976. (For those of you a bit dazed and/or confused, that means the 50th anniversary is tomorrow.) Sure, Dazed didn’t come out until 1993, but it takes place in a single day (well, overnight), May 28, 1976.

In my book I have it to watch on June 9, because May 28 just seemed too early to end a schoolyear.

Southern schools always ended their years early…

until I started teaching at one, but I digress.

And I know what movie I’m watching tomorrow night.
