AFI Movie Date Night #12

It was Easy Rider tonight (#88), which is probably the best known motorcycle road movie of all time. This 1969 movie starred Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper (who also directed it) as the two friends who take the motorcycle trip. It also had supporting roles from Jack Nicholson, Karen Black and Toni Basil.

It's a good movie for its time and probably helped the young people of the culture identify with the movie. And the soundtrack was very memorable.
