Sic Transit Easy Rider

[rareboy]

Not the longest lived Hollywood career...but one iconic role that kept his name alive decade after decade.

At the age of 79 and he apparently went out laughing.

79 is a good age but, to be honest, I though he died years ago.

Four years ago she was sparkling with youth...

Not particularly good, but I assume it caught the zeitgeist of the times, hence its renown then and even now. I found it smug, self-satisfied and condescending. Interesting as a period piece, but hardly an essential film.

Question: what are the American movies of the late sixties and early seventies that portray the times ("they are a changin") and are any good?

 

[Latimer]

Any of these?
