Still not out yet, but when that happens, this will be the best hippie movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1024652/ But other than that, it'll be difficult for anything to beat this http://www.magpictures.com/magictrip/
Taking Woodstock: based on the memoir of Elliot Tiber who's parents owned the El Monaco Motel near Bethel New York. Zachariah: an electric western based on Siddhartha. Written by The Firesign Theater, includes Don Johnson, The James Gang, and Country Joe and the Fish. Ginger Baker of Cream was originally to play the lead role. Joe: Peter Boyle, Susan Sarandon. One of the highest grossing films of 1970. When Peter Boyle (Everyone Loves Raymond) saw the reaction to the film he refused to appear in any film that glorified violence. Alice's Restaurant: Arlo as himself. The Born Losers: The first Billy Jack movie. Not real good but it introduces Billy Jack played by and written by activist Tom Laughlin an extremely interesting person. He started the largest "free" preschool in the United States, ran for president in 1992, 2004, and 2008, was involved in counseling, and wrote several books. More American Griffiti: Most of the cast from American Graffiti (Ron Howard, etc.) covering the years 1964 - 1967.
Easy Rider Greenwich Village: Music That Defined a Generation The Source Family (about a hippie cult) Berkeley in the Sixties Nothing from the History Channel as they love to rewrite it!
source Family was quite interesting, and answered some questions about some relatives. Given your screen name, OP, seek out DMT The Spirit Molecule. I also saw a reasonably clear bit on ayahuasca on Netflix.
Loved that movie! I just found (on YouTube) a hippie movie that is so bad it is totally good: Chastity (Cher is the star/Sonny Bono is the director). Man, this totally weird movie somehow manages to depict what it was like to be a female rebel during the late 1960s - not a pretty picture. Yet despite all of its MANY politically incorrect scenes, I found myself rooting for the heroine. And the ending is something that only someone on acid might be able to figure out? I've watched it twice, and I still don't get the ending? Still, it's a great hippie movie (in the John Waters tradition) that should be better known P.S. Interesting that Sonny and Cher decided to name their daughter after this very strange movie? Yet Chastity Bono got her sweet revenge in the end
Together ~ Together is set in one of the communes that sprang up around Stockholmin the 1970s. Loosely led by the sweet-natured Göran, who will do anything to avoid a conflict, the group spend their time arguing about left-wing politics and other questions such as whether doing the dishes isbourgeois. The commune's dynamics are significantly shaken when Göran's sister, Elizabeth, leaves her violent husband Rolf and moves in, bringing her two children Eva and Stefan. Hm, weird, I feel like there's a bunch more that I can't think of, but really, there's not all that many movies (esp many that aren't stereotypical 'camp' hippie movies) that have been made. I think Drop City should be made into a movie, at some point. The book was pretty decent, and could be made into a good movie with some liberal editing of the plot and a stellar cast and director, a la D&D doing 'Game of Thrones' (which, in my opinion, weren't really the best books).
