I hadn't seen Easy Rider before I requested this 35th Anniversary Edition to review, but now that I've taken it in, I can understand why it's still considered a seminal film, one that capped an era—the chaotic, free-wheeling 60s—while ushering in ...read the complete Easy Rider movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

I love this film for the visual and the music. I love the film because it brings up issues of what it is to be truly free and the lengths people will go to strike down that reminder.

It's dated, to be sure, but Easy Rider is one of the very few movies to come out of the 1960s about the counterculture that was actually made by the counterculture — however wealthy and well-heeled.
