recommendations for other films of this style?


Hi. I like this movie for pretty much the same reasons as many of the fans express here on the board. I really like how non-traditional it is and it intrigues me to post the question if there are any other movies like this. And I don't mean particularly motorcycle/60s/rebels movies, but anything that's basically a culture classic or something as groundbreaking (in terms of the fact that movies like it were never made and was sort of a shocker to the industry).

it's a movie somewhat like 2001 a space odyssey in the way that the two movies are great for not how much it shows, but for how little.

so interpret the post anyway you like, i would just like to know if there's anything like it in terms of style, but not really subject matter.

The closest film to Easy Rider for me is Electric Shades of Grey AKA The Psychedelic Priest (1971, released in 2001). The weird story of a priest who accidentally takes LSD and change his life making a road trip through America with obvious similarities to Easy Rider. Really psychedelic and really mind-blowing! A personal cult of mine.

Carnal Knowledge, one of my all time favorite movies. From about 1970 or 71. Jack Nicholson, Art Garfunkle, Candice Bergen, Ann Margaret, Rica Moreno. I think it would fit in pretty good with Easy Rider, to watch one right after the other.
