Easy Rider: The Portrait of America Turns 50

Easy Rider was a countercultural touchstone, a Boomer fairy tale, and a shot across the bow of a studio system that was in decline and turmoil. At 50, it's worth it to take a look back at the portrait of America it painted.

Best movie of all time is `Lassie come home`. If it ain`t got a happy ending I don't want to watch it!

Dark Star
Slaughterhouse 5 (The book is better)

I remember the first time I saw Easy Rider; Wasted and spaced out I sat open mouthed and stunned for ages while the credits rolled at the end.

"Have you ever wanted to be anyone else?"
"I'd like to try Porky Pig!"

Life of Brian, but Easyrider is a close second.
