"FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★½ NOTES: A Park Circus print, so it doesn’t feel wholly authentic, but it doesn’t seem to be a digital transfer either given that it boasts a pristine, full-frame picture. Well-worn but faultless in its playback, and the music sounds powerful through those speakers. DATE: May 7th 2024 CINEMA: The Prince Charles Cinema LOCATION: West End"

What your favorite movie (really) says about you.. (57 movies items)

"If Easy Rider is your favorite movie....You need to pop those Aspirin and get to work on that bike in the garage! You are about to retire from your cushy middle-management position at the insurance company, to absolutely crush it with the incoming social security rolling in. You love the music of the era, perfectly encapsulated - so you state, every time this film is broached - in the soundtrack of the film. "Man, I can't wait to hit the bike across country." "

“Easy Rider is not quite a classic, but what it is is a great movie. It does start off slowly, but when it picks up the film has very few problems if any. The production values are excellent, the soundtrack is inspired, the script is very effective and Dennis Hopper's direction shows perfectly that he was as good a director as he was an actor. The story is also very compelling with a purposefully depressing ending(certainly a refreshing change from the somewhat clichéd riding into the sunset ending) and although the start is slow the pace is solid on the whole. The acting is faultless, the three leads Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson are superb and work wonderfully together.

All in all, Easy Rider is a fine movie, while just missing out on masterpiece status. What's ” read more
