Easy Rider is simply one of the worst movies that I have ever seen. I do not use that statement in a throw-away sense as the "extreme" American might. The only decent thing about this movie was Jack Nicholson's small role.... Full review

Easy Rider" will be 40 years old this summer, and viewers can determine for themselves whether this Dennis Hopper-directed flick is still shocking and raw, or a reminder of how crazy, sick and self-absorbed the '60s could be. Seen today, "Easy Rider" seems filled with the excesses of youth and is a perfect reflection of the sex, drugs and rock and roll spirit of the age. ... Full Review
