"Glory Daze" is an independent film starring Ben Affleck, Sam Rockwell, and French Stewart. It had a limited release in 1996.

The film deals with five friends who share a house (called "El Rancho") while attending art school at UC Santa Cruz. Now they are graduating, and they are struggling to delay going their separate ways.

Matt Damon has a tiny cameo as a hated ex-roommate, John Rhys-Davies plays an unscrupulous art teacher, Alyssa Milano is a friend and love interest, Matthew McConaughey is an alcoholic rental truck representative, and the role of Ben Affleck's overbearing father is played by the late Spalding Gray. There is also a small scene with Leah Remini and Brendan Fraser.

Glory Daze is notable for being such a small production featuring so many then-lesser-known actors (Affleck, Damon, Stewart, Rockwell, McConaughey, Remini, Fraser) who would all soon achieve a level of mainstream success that, in many cases, surpassed that of the cast members who were more recognizable at the time it was made (Milano, Rhys-Davies, Gray). It would be difficult (and prohibitively expensive) to assemble the same cast today.

The film is also notable for its soundtrack of contemporary, mainly Californian, skate/pop punk music, featuring an original score by The Vandals and other music by bands typical of the genre, including NOFX, Bad Religion, Tilt, Ednaswap, and The Bouncing Souls. The soundtrack album was released on The Vandals label Kung-Fu Records. Also
