Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential video: Two cool guys head out on motorcycles in search of... well, America, but they'll settle for sex and drugs and rock & roll. There's plenty of each as Captain America (Peter Fonda) and paranoid Billy (Dennis Hopper) encounter a commune, convert a small-town drunk (Jack Nicholson) to the Grin Reefer, pick up two pretty lilies of the alley, Karen Black and Toni Basil (who hit the pop charts in the '80s--check out "Mickey"), and get shot for having long hair. Nicholson won an Oscar nomination and Best Supporting Actor nods from the National Society of Film Critics and the New York Film Critics Circle, but his acting was better than they knew: he had to pretend to be straight and gradually get plastered in many, many takes using real weed. Find out the far wilder, funnier story behind the film in the book Easy Riders, Raging Bulls and Peter Fonda's Don't Tell Dad. --Tim Appelo Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Boring, VERY over-ratedYou can watch this movie on fast forward and not miss anything. This movie is WAY over-rated... It might have been great to some people in its day - but that is now almost 40 years ago. Anyone who hasn't seen it, dont waste your time. The longer time passes the worse this movie will get. I watched it because it was a "famous" movie but as many of the older famous movies are, they just are on a completely lower level than todays great movies. Rating:  - You had to be there to get it...Having read many of the worst reviews, I can fully appreciate where the kids are "coming from". They don't really get it because it was too full of the symbols of the time in which the film was shot. It is obviously not a piece of timeless art intended for future generations. It was for that time and it accomplished its goal, which was to wake up a new generation to the possibilities of life. Choices. the music was current and dynamic and added to the power. Unless you are old enough, or have submerged ... Read More Rating: - ClassicI love the bikes in the movie. The special feature w/ the interviews of the actors was really interesting. Rating:  - Wow! What A Great Film! Too Bad About the DVD!This is certainly the best independent film ever made and is also one of the best films ever. This film succeeds in documenting the 60s counter-culture a.k.a. hippy generation very well and explores even deeper issues in addressing questions such as what is freedom and does it really exist in the "land of the free and the home of the brave?" 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. This ...

In short, AMAZING, EXCELLENT, OUTSTANDING!!! Browse for similar items by category:
