Easy Rider (1969)
Starring: Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson Director: Dennis Hopper
Easy Rider
(DVD) - This box-office hit from 1969 is an important pioneer of the American independent cinema
movement and a generational touchstone to boot.
Easy Rider
(DVD) - 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.
