Easy Rider

How many people have seen this movie?

I thought it was a great movie, and an accurate depiction of the counter-culture movement that occured in the 1960s. There isn't much substance to the plot, but it does have definite recognizable symbolism of the desire to be 'free'. Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda do a good job making this movie, and the acting isn't too terrible. The young Jack Nicholson makes his debut, and adds a great flavor to the movie.

Discuss if you've seen.

The AFI once said it was the best film ever made.

I hate the AFI with a Passion (of the Christ).

I didn't really...feel it.

I'd like to thank my world history teacher freshman year for exposing me to this movie (we just...arbitrarily watched it once in class. Also he lent me dr. strangelove. Good guy all around.). I've always liked it on..a couple of levels really.

...No. No it wasn't. Again, I like it. But no way would I consider it the greatest film EVER MADE.
