I will let that blog stand for my review of the movie. I will explain the story of how I came to see this movie again.
Just like with Harold and Maude I saw Easy Rider at the Aero Theater in Santa Monica, CA. Just hours after our plane touched down my girlfriend and I had tickets to see Easy Rider at this classic theater. We didn't even check in at the hotel before we went to see the film. We drove down Santa Monica Blvd until we got a few blocks from the cinema. We parked the rental car and walked down the street in perfect weather until we got to an Indian restaurant. We stopped for some curry laden food and a beer before seeing the movie.
I wasn't sure what my special lady was going to think about it, but she seemed to enjoy it. Even if the movie wasn't very good, you couldn't ask for better settings. One thing that I found interesting was the crowd we saw it with really showed me the humor in the movie. Dennis Hopper is stoned though out the whole thing and it shows. That can't help but make for some funny scenes. Plus Jack Nicholson in his first major screen role was a cut up as a college boy turned drunk philosopher.
Again, check out the last blog for my first review.
I give Easy Riders ★★★★★.
