Ugh, Easy Rider. Maybe I was just born too late to “get” that one, but I darn near tore the tape out of the VCR the first time I watched it. Hated it with a passion.
I liked Midnight Cowboy, though it was depressing as heck.
Maybe I should have said "culturally decadent" films of the late 60's ... both ER and MC 'celebrated' the bunch of muck which the 60's brought forth, with the undertone of it being 'freedom'. Agreed though, both were depressing films in their own manner
