Editorial Review:
This box-office hit from 1969 is an important pioneer of the American independent cinema movement, and a generational touchstone to boot. Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper play hippie motorcyclists crossing the Southwest and encountering a crazy quilt of good and bad people. Jack Nicholson turns up in a significant role as an attorney who joins their quest for awhile and articulates society's problem with freedom as Fonda's and Hopper's characters embody it. Hopper directed, essentially bringing the no-frills filmmaking methods of legendary, drive-in movie producer Roger Corman (The Little Shop of Horrors) to a serious feature for the mainstream. The film can't help but look a bit dated now (a psychedelic sequence toward the end particularly doesn't hold up well), but it retains its original power, sense of daring, and epochal impact. --Tom Keogh

I 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. ... Read More
Rating:  - Still The Best
Still one of the best "buddy"/"anti-establishment" movies of all time. This review is not going to cover anything that hasn't already been covered. In short, AMAZING, EXCELLENT, OUTSTANDING!!!
Rating: - Still Stunning
I saw this when it first came out, and was blown away.
But hey, that was the 60s, so maybe I was just reacting to the times.
But no.
Twenty years later I was asked to teach a course called "The Journey of Life" and use it as one of the pieces.
I was afraid it would not hold up.
I am glad to say I was wrong.
It held up splendidly.
It is one of those films that transcends itself. Despite the shoestring budget ... Read More
