After the success of "The Graduate," the counter-culture exploded onto screens across the United States. But it was a surprise hit from the Cannes Film Festival in France that really cemented the movement's place on the silver screen, a film about two drug-dealing and drug-consuming drifters, on motorcycles, headed from Los Angeles to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. First-time director Dennis Hopper, who also starred in the film with Peter Fonda and Jack Nicholson, made 1969's "Easy Rider" into a spiritual monument to the culture of the youth of the day, as well as becoming an indictment of the intolerance and bigotry those who participated in such communities faced, especially in the U.S. south, during the late 60s. The film also continued the trend of using modern music in lieu of an instrumental score to provide an emotional floor for the story, creating one of the first great rock and folk soundtracks in film history. And the trio unveil which two films, featuring first-time actors-turned-directors, make up their next pairing.?
