Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: R UPC: 043396017498 Manufacturer No: 01749 Amazon.com essential video: This box-office hit from 1969 is an important pioneer of the American independent cinema movement, and a generational touchstone to boot. Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper play hippie motorcyclists crossing the Southwest and encountering a crazy quilt of good and bad people. Jack Nicholson turns up in a significant role as an attorney who joins their quest for awhile and articulates society's problem with freedom as Fonda's and Hopper's characters embody it. Hopper directed, essentially bringing the no-frills filmmaking methods of legendary, drive-in movie producer Roger Corman (The Little Shop of Horrors) to a serious feature for the mainstream. The film can't help but look a bit dated now (a psychedelic sequence toward the end particularly doesn't hold up well), but it retains its original power, sense of daring, and epochal impact. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:

Fonda and Hopper play a couple of bikers who ironically in trying to live a free life become hated by the mainstream who fear what this freedom represents. ...

In short, AMAZING, EXCELLENT, OUTSTANDING!!! Rating: - Still StunningI saw this when it first came out, and was blown away. But hey, that was the 60s, so maybe I was just reacting to the times. But no. Twenty years later I was asked to teach a course called "The Journey of Life" and use it as one of the pieces. I was afraid it would not hold up. I am glad to say I was wrong. It held up splendidly. It is one of those films that transcends itself. Despite the shoestring budget ... Read More Rating: - Easy RiderWhat a great movie! Easy Rider brought back some good memories of days gone by. I first saw this with my dad at a drive in theater.Easy Rider |
