Easy Rider.. fucking bizarre movie. I still don’t understand how that became an American classic.

 

[C08H18]

there's a little bit of Dennis Hopper in all of us.

 

[USMC2010]

Great movie

 

[C-Ya]

The movie is about Freedom with a lesson in bigotry at the end.......

It helped to be of age at the time.

 

[The Prisoner]

I agree. Same reason I can't get into Apocalypse Now.

You just need to watch it again... Loved that movie, living free!

There is a documentary saying that they were loaded most of the time shooting the movie, so it had a lot of ad-libed scenes.

Pretty much the first legitimate movie about sub culture, hippies bikers drugs.

you see now I completely understand that movie and it’s a classic for sure..

 

[WhatExit?]

Great soundtrack too (both Easy Rider and Apocalypse Now).

I've watched A Now many times - great, great film. Easy Rider is a 60's classic - choppers, drugs (LSD! & weed), rock 'n roll soundtrack, hippies, communies, rednecks with shotguns, JACK NICHOLSON, Nawlins...


A short clip near the beginning of the film shows Wyatt and Billy on Route 66 in Flagstaff, Arizona, passing a large figure of a lumberjack. That lumberjack statue—once situated in front of the Lumberjack Cafe—remains in Flagstaff, but now stands inside the J. Lawrence Walkup Skydome on the campus of Northern Arizona University. A second, very similar statue was also moved from the Lumberjack Cafe to the exterior of the Skydome.

How do you feel about "Two Lane Blacktop"?

 

[rush1]

you see now I completely understand that movie and it’s a classic for sure..

Watch vanashing point ( the origanal ) and dirty Mary crazy Larry if you want to see true cult classics. Oh yeah and two lane black top.

 

[OLDRAAT]

Just had to be of age during that period RD. Very provocative then, it was part of the counter culture movement and was made during the Woodstock era and yes, I enjoyed a lot of those years.

Watch vanashing point ( the origanal ) and dirty Mary crazy Larry if you want to see true cult classics. Oh yeah and two lane black top.

I used to think Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry was the best movie when they used to show it on TV about every 5-7 years. I watched a couple of years ago and its charm has worn off considerably. Vanishing Point still rocks! So does Thunderbolt and Lightfoot with Clint Eastwood.

Go watch Billy Jack. It's awesome. Early 70's I think

 

[Sleek-Jet]

You should watch "American Graffiti", "Easy Rider", and "Two Lane Blacktop" as a trilogy.

These three movies trace the arc of the culture in the 1960's...

i was in love with Mary. Lol

Have you tried a different acid?
Maybe your mind needs to be more open to appreciate it?

I saw it once and was perplexed as well.

 

[USMC2010]

Never heard of Two Lane Blacktop before, watching now and pretty cool.

 

[coolchange]

You want weird, watch the directors commentary version of Vanishing Point. All of the meaning of characters and events..

 

[SoCalDave]

Your welcome...

Great movies

My favorite part with the sheriff’s privileged bully son:

Did he pull a gun on you?
No Daddy.
Did he pull a knife on you?
No Daddy.
So you just drove a perfectly good automobile (new 1969 Corvette) into the lake?
Yes, Daddy

 

[SoCalDave]

And just for shits and giggles...one of my all time favorites.

Compared to ?

My Mom took me to see Easy Rider in 1969, I was twelve. She was cool like that.

Mom also took me to Albuquerque Dragway on Sundays when California match racers were in town. She stood up to my Dad when he was demanding that I go to church instead of the drags.

I had a pretty bitchin' childhood thanks to her. I miss her so much.
