Easy Rider (1969) is the quintessential sixties film! It deliberately breaks away from the traditional studio films, and chronicles the new generation of "anti-heroes". The film is considered one of the first- "post-classical Hollywood" productions, created by the "new" generation of directors, writers, and actors.
The film is directed by Dennis Hopper (who also stars in it) and was written by Peter Fonda (co-starring in the film), Dennis Hopper, and Terry Southern. It also stars Jack Nicholson.
It was nominated for two academy awards: Jack Nicholson for Best Supporting Actor and for Best Writing, Story and Screenplay Based on Material Not Previously Published or Produced.
This film is also ranked #84 on AFI's 100 Greatest Movies, it has moved up four spots in the past ten years.
