Dazed and Confused, like most of Linklater’s films, takes a very loose but specific look at the last day of high school in 1976. “Alright, alright, alright.” No list of Richard Linklater’s best films would be complete without this ode to the very groovy (and stoned) high school culture of Texas. Fast Food Nation fits in with the often rambling and aimless nature of Linklater's films, but is much more urgently political and economic, utilizing the non-fiction source material to create a meticulous, though not extremely entertaining, takedown of the food industry. This film also features the cast of Linklater’s 2014 opus, Boyhood, all of whom would have been smack in the middle of filming a portion of that movie at the time – Patricia Arquette, Ethan Hawke, Ellar Coltrane, and Marco Perella. On a trip to visit the meat supplier in Colorado, Anderson discovers that everything he thought he knew about the production of fast-food hamburgers is wrong. Starring Greg Kinnear, Bruce Willis, and Wilmer Valderrama, it details the story of fast-food marketing executive Don Anderson, who invented the burger called The Big One. Fast Food Nation, released in 2006, is based on the book by Eric Schlosser that originally appeared as a series of articles in Rolling Stone.
