hair
the invisible circus
wonderwall

 

Across the Universe
The 60's (it has Julia Stiles in it)
Hair
The Song Remains the Same
The Wall

 

Definitely check out The Pickup.

 

five other films from the late 60's....."nam's angels" starring wm. smith in which a motorcycle gang save the day in vietnam...."c.c. and company" another biker film starring ann-margeret and joe namath...."the green berets".a film that caused controversey and protests at the theatres because of it's pro war views during the vietnam war.john wayne had the starring role...."medium cool" depicted the events surrounding the 1968 democratic convention in chicago.i rented this film recently and was reminded of the social relevance it has to today's world....."200 motels" a frank zappa film.poorly received during it's release it has become more popular with time on video.

 

The 60's (fav)
across the universe
almost famous
the 70's (ok)

 

"Into the wild" is one of the most intresting movies i ever saw, every hippie and free spirited person should really see that one, was a big source of inspiration for me.

 

I second Into the Wild.

 

Yellow Submarine

and good call on Billy Jack... was that Jennifer 19?
the fight scene where the people come from behind the trees was filmed right around the corner from where I live.

My understanding is that Tom Mclaughlin intends to make a run against Arnold

a movie called "Joe" released in 1970

A Man Called Horse (1970)

Endless Summer... a surf film was cool

Fantasia... Fritz The Cat

back then .. Hollywood wasn't all that hippie oriented... most of us went to see underground movies... Hollywood was PART of the establishment

Floyd..Live at Pompeii

 

I love billy jack

 

it really was and still is a great movie.

you know that him and her really are married in real life

I didn't care too much for the sequel ' trial of Billy Jack' too bloody

and when I was looking up info awhile back... mainly to find the song

One Tin Soldier ... is when I came across the info about Tom Laughlin < no Mc..my bad>wanting to make a run against Arnold for gov of cali.

and here what will happen to arnold

That's the old federal bldg. here in Santa Fe in the background

 

they do do the normal cut and paste locations .. some in SF and some in Las Vegas NM

 

these were some great movies.a guy just back from nam trying to stay calm and peaceful for the school.but maybe it wasn't always too easy to do.......and great seeing jane russell in one of the billy jack films.

 

Now I don't know if these would be classified as hippy movies- but these are the movies that I really liked back in the sixties.

The Magic Christian
If
Gold
Mondo Mod
Strawberry Statement
Gass-s-s-s
Zachariah- a man who is ahead of his time
and also any movie by Fellini [an Italian director].


Pax

 

I have the trial of Billy jack and the first one; I have my mom’s old record the soundtrack of Billy jack. I had no idea they were married, my mom would sing one til solider to me when I was little

 

There's this really great movie that accurately portrays hippies as utterly insane cult members-- it's called 'I Drink Your Blood'. They terrorize a small town and become infected with rabies!

Also, 'Helter Skelter', about the king of the hippies, Charles Manson.

And another good one is 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' where some hippies get cut up by a chainsaw-wielding maniac.

Also, 'Dirty Harry' has a gay hippie in it, as is typical for hippies, he shoots people for fun.

Finally, my favorite hippie movie has to be 'Hippies Are Filthy Disgusting Perverts', which I am currently working on and in which hippies have a very central role.

 

The Last Waltz

If you like old music. A documentary with performances by Niel Young, Clapton, Van Morrision, Muddy Waters. Great while-stoned entertainment.
