Easy Rider
Dennis Hopper’s counterculture classic started out as one more drive-in biker flick but morphed into something deeper, the right picture at the right time to sum up the 1960s and question the American Dream. Peter Fonda, in his Stars and Stripes leather jacket, represents every young person who was losing faith in that dream. A kick in the pants to the Hollywood establishment that jump-started the indie movement of the ’70s.
