Forever synonymous with rebellion and the "Born to Be Wild" opening credits song, "Easy Rider" upholds its legacy as a pioneering indie film.

Low budget zeitgeist movie that perfectly sums up the spirit of late 60s america. Some of the metaphors are painfully ham-fisted and it's often unstructured and meandering, but its a fascinating window into the time in which it was made. Jack Nicholson steals the movie as a whiskey swilling lawyer and the shocking ending still packs a punch.

The title says it all. It's a pretty 'easy' going and laid back film. Yet, it paints a culturally significant portrait for the time that it was released. A free-roaming, and narrative free, road picture that defined a generation.

It's not a movie that particularly speaks to me, but I can appreciate it as a well-made surreal trip that expresses the philosophy of the 60's. There are iconic scenes in this film that represent a certain freeing trend in film history.

The "philosophy" of this movie is so stoned that it is just offensive that anyone of moderate intelligence could take it seriously. The bad trip in the cemetery was painful and sacriligious to boot! Probably the worst movie I've ever seen.

I expected a lot more out of this movie. And, it just didn't deliver for me.

Captures a time and place in America that, for better or for worse, we won't see again. I consider this a classic in terms of the narrative, the acting and the music all of which form a perfect snapshot of American culture.

What can I say, Hopper is a Genius, Nicholson is fantastic (and funny) and Fonda is just Fonda. It is an incredible movie at times except for the incoherent acid trip they experience in a grave yard. See it for the hippie culture.
