Summary: Definitely Born to Wild
Review: Great Biker Film. Peter Fonda and Dennis Hooper are just to cool for words. Jack Nicholson works great a comedy relief.

Summary: The definitive 60's counterculture movie
Review: This movie is not dated, it is a brilliant relic of it's era that should never be looked down upon. It remains an honest retrospective of the way many people viewed the hippies at that time. The campfire scenes and of course the scene with Jack Nicholson on the motorcycle with "Born To Be Wild" in the background are some of the cinema's greatest moments. The acid trip scene towards the end has been lately looked down upon, but it is truly imaginative and a great example of some of the greatest psychedelic cinemotography. Every film enthusiast should own this.

Summary: CLASSIC 60'S CULT MOVIE
Review: I have the video, I have the CD (available in Australia) and my original vinyl. Yes it's dated but the music is as great as ever and fits the film perfectly. Jack Nicholson was head and shoulders above Fonda and Hopper in acting ability and also has a couple of the best lines (Oh,I've got a helmet).Most people in Australia had never seen a Harley before this movie and it gave the oldies one more thing to be suspicious or afraid of.(Now every second lawyer and accountant rides one at the weekend reliving his wanna-be dreams from the 60's) Still worth watching, if just for the music and to relive your youth!

Summary: If you love your freedom, You'll love this flick...........
Review: Although it is dated, and it is the epitome of the slacker lifestyle, it is the staple flick of freedom. From the motorcycles to the drugs to the mysticism of "Mardi Gras", it is simply good times personified. Great actors, great vibes and a great beginning to the success of the independant film, it's a movie worth watching..... if you have the patience and sense of humor to accomodate the idea of hitting the road with no other thought on you're mind than living free and what it may or may not bring.

Summary: One of the finest movies in American Cinema, period.
Review: Why is this film the definitive American statement? Simply check out the moral of the story: Freedom dies (in this case, quite literally) at the hands of bigotry and ignorance. Favorite line? Nicholson's uproarious, "Oh, yeah--I've got a helmet!" The soundtrack is uneven given the era (Jimi's "If Six Were Nine" is spot-on, though) and the acid trip sequence a bit hokey, but the balance of this motion picture is worthy of considerable praise.

Summary: HEADACHE!
Review: I don't know what to say. In my last life I was Marrianne Faithful (Slut to the Rock Stars!), so I geuss I should like this movie but I really don't. I really don't understand what's going on. And the bizarre cineamtagrophy just gives me a headache. Music is OK. Why did they get blown away? I really don't get it? It just seems sad without reason.

Summary: A milestone in time
Review: I saw the movie in England when it was released in '69,(I'm English) and felt that it truly captured,in a "raw" way,the diversification of lifestyles;the drugs and confusion associated with the times of uncertainty,and will remain a testamony to those troubled times. No frills,just right.

Summary: excellent movie, deserves 6 stars
Review: This is the movie in my opinion that set the standards for hippie movies, and it is in no way stereotypical of the hippie culture because it was made in 1969. Another plus about the movie is the soundtrack, although it could of had some grateful dead,the doors, or a jefferson airplane tune,oh well. They really need to issue a soundtrack cd for this movie, i mean come on it is one of AFI 100 greatest movies off all time.

Summary: Buy this for Nicholson's performance alone.
Review: Before Nicholson became such a big star he did small roles like this but he's the best thing in this movie and it's worth buying it just to get a look at how talented he really is.
