Easy Rider -- Two hippie bikers set out to discover 'the real America' and wind up taking the ultimate bad trip. Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson star in the landmark American film.

Fed up with the stress of modern life, drama critic David Niven and his wife Doris Day pack up their family, leave New York City behind, and move to the country, ill-prepared to tackle the rural life. Oscar-winner Niven ("The Dawn Patrol," "Around the World in 80 Days") and Oscar-nominee Day ("Pillow Talk," "The Man Who Knew Too Much") make a delightful screen couple. Inspired a TV series.

Academy Award winner Jack Nicholson (Best Actor, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, 1975) stars with Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper (who also directs) in this unconventional classic which Time Magazine hails as "one of the ten most important pictures of the decade." Experience the real, uncensored '60s counterculture in this compelling mixture of drugs, sex and armchair politics. In the role that catapulted him to stardom, Jack Nicholson portrays an alcoholic attorney who hooks up with two part-time, drug-dealing motorcyclists (Fonda and Hopper) in search of their "American Dream." Heading from California to New Orleans, they sample the highs and lows of America the beautiful in a stoned-out quest for life's true meaning. Nominated for an Academy Award (1969) for Best Screenplay (written by Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Terry Southern), Easy Rider continues to touch a chord with audiences of all ages.

In this anti-establishment classic, two bikers set out from L.A. for New Orleans. Among other adventures, they stop at a whorehouse, take a hitchhiker, and join up with a drunken lawyer. Featuring a young Bridget Fonda in her first role.
