 Two motorcyclists, Wyatt
(Peter Fonda) and Billy (Dennis Hopper) embark on a coast-to-coast
odyssey in search of real America, encountering along the way
the many faces of its big cities and small towns, a hippie commune,
drugs, and sex in a New Orleans bawdy house. Directed by Dennis
Hopper at the age of 31 for a mere $340,000, this film went on
to make multiple millions and change the pop culture landscape.This
often-imitated but never-duplicated movie defined a generation
and has a great soundtrack (featuring The Byrds, The Band, Steppenwolf,
Jimi Hendrix, The Electric Prunes, and more). Record producer
Phil Spector is also featured in the film, and late novelist
Terry Southern ("The Magic Christian") collaborated
with Hopper and Fonda on the script. Academy Award Nominations:
Best Supporting Actor--Jack Nicholson, Best (Original) Story
and Screenplay. |
