'Dazed and Confused' was released in theatres September 24, 1993, and it jumpstarted the careers of many young stars: Jason London, Ben Affleck, Milla Jovovich, Cole Hauser, Parker Posey, Adam Goldberg, Joey Lauren Adams, Matthew McConaughey, and Renée Zellweger.

The film was about a day in the life of some Texas teenagers during the last day of school in 1976.

On the film's anniversary, Matthew McConaughey posted a video of himself watching his audition for that movie, something that he had never seen before -- which led to his first major movie role. The Texas-native was only 23-years-old when the film was released.

According to Maxim, McConaughey unexpectedly met casting director Don Phillips at a Hotel bar. The college student walked up to him, offered him a drink, which eventually led to him saying to McConaughey, "Hey, you should try out for this role of 'Wooderson."

...and the rest is history.
