“This used to be a helluva good country. I can't understand what's gone wrong with it." “Man, everybody got chicken, that's what happened. Hey, we can't even get into like, a second-rate hotel, I mean, a second-rate motel, you dig? They think we're gonna cut their throat…

I hate this expression but in this case it happens to be the truth: Time has not been kind to Easy Rider. So much of its aesthetic, its depiction of freedom and adventure, even specific shots of our two heroes flying down the road on their motorcycles, have become fodder…

Nothing like an ending to leave you in a completely stunned silence, every time.

It’s pretty insane that the biggest conflict of this film is literally that these two guys have long hair.

A sweeping portrait of the American landscape through the eyes of two 60's counterculturists, Dennis Hopper's Easy Rider is a gorgeous ode to the open freedom of the American way. It's the ultimate road trip film, simultaneously developing its two protagonists and the…

Easy Rider

Great film and it holds up for being kind of old. The soundtrack was superb and a really road trip vibe of it. The editing was kind of unique because I haven’t seen those transitions on screen. Also all the actors did a good performance especially Jack Nicholson.

Fine movie, the story was a little weird but it was alright. Jack Nicholson is a incredible actor so that makes the movie better. The ending could have been better because that was also pretty weird. The movie had some nice moments and some really cool shots.

Easy Rider

I am sure this movie was groundbreaking when it was released, but my wife and I watched it over the weekend and did not like it. You can definitely tell. The actors were stoned most of the time, and the script was not complete. View at your own risk.

The movie is kinda weird especially towards the end. I love the country vibe on the road. Nicholson makes the movie much better with his goofy character. The fact that this was made in 1969 is cool and it’s a good movie still today imo 6,5/10

Easy Rider

This approaches documentary levels. Such a pictorial of transgressive youth and the culture that will continuously betray them based on facetious hyper-conservative/heteronormative mob ideals. Everyone must watch this!!!
