...<img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/smile.gif" width=15 height=15>... Finding a flic I haven't heard of or seen is always a special thrill for me. To see SO many familiar faces in this movie is a rush. I don't really believe I've ever seen better acting in ages either. This one gets a solid 10. A movie I wouldn't mind owning.

*Interesting footnote, the directors next film was 'Bob, Ted, Carol & Alice...(taboo for a 12 yr. old)lol

I remember as a teen not being allowed as it was an R movie or something...A Clockwork Orange was rated X in it's day. We had no problem getting into that!?

**So if ya know any 60's hip flicks, please post them here. Chances are I saw them. (many at the Theater). But in those days, that's where you saw a flick. Lonely rainy days make watching a movie at home, a tad better...<img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/wink.gif" width=15 height=15>

Not all 60s, but sorta in the same period ... Midnight Cowboy, Billy Jack, Harold and Maude, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

Remember seeing Reefer Madness at the theater when I was 18 or 19 ... very fun--lot's of smoke and frisbies, etc. Was the Rocky Horror Picture Show of our day.

Remember ABOUT a movie--just can't remember the name. Was a controversial movie about the first sex change operation ... absolutely don't remember the name now. Senior moment, I guess.

Yeah, I saw Blow-up. I remember it was ground-breaking and cutting edge, too..it's just too long ago for me to remember why. I also don't remember much about Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice, except the title. Has anyone noticed how many movies had an Alice in them around then. There were more Alice's in movie titles than I ever actually me. Alice's Restaurant, Alice B. Toklas, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, Bob and Carol, etc. and I guess it was later but Go Ask Alice was certainly inspired by the song of the era..coincidence..or sinister plot?

Idaho Transfer. Right, Cliffite? I think we are the only two people on the planet who saw that movie. We've never met anyone else who even heard of it, but I SWEAR we saw it in the theater. Early 1970s. Peter Fonda.

My two favorites from the 60's are ALICES RESTAURANT and DON'T LOOK BACK. I still watch both of them every now and then.

Rb, the first time I saw A Clockwork Orange, I thought I was sitting in a cloud and the movie made no sense until the very end when it came full circle. At that moment I realized the genius of Kubrick. lol That was an odd evening. But it is an incredible movie.

As far as other movie's from then, Help, A Hard Day's Night, Yellow Sub. Okay, so besides Arlo and Beatles movies, I'm more for the Doris Day/Rock Hudson kinda films. <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/smile.gif" width=15 height=15>

I think I once saw a CHEECH & CHONG movie about pot smoking. It was funny from what I can recall but I forget the name of it...

Thanks for the post guys! Watched a Hitchcock film I had never seen yesterday.

(actress from the Byrds & a very young Sean Connery) 'Lady in the Picture'....Excellant..<img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/smile.gif" width=15 height=15>

*and I found out in trivia, Midnight Cowboy won all the Oscars that yr. (Same yr. Butch Cassidy & Sundance). The director had the last laugh, when 'The Sting' got nominated!!! Some yrs. later?

**Percy Martin is one of my ALL time favorite western actors. I saw him in two films today.....Shenendoah (Jimmy Stewart & cast) conductor on train...And his lil part in Butch Cassidy. Man that man can really act! Probley the most famous line of his in a flick?

Remember all those Hell's Angels movies? And on another note, we caught The Trip a few months ago. That was done by someone who had really done the research, I think.

A little slow to the punch here Pat. Can you tell me who directed 'The Trip'? Writers, directors, leading role??? Sounds like a hard one to find, IF I'm reading this right!

*Ya, that might be the worst part of 'Easy Rider' is when they drop the ACID. Not too many special effects going on there. According to that movie, you could wear a pair of 'trippin glasses' (remember them)? and get nearly the same effect.....<img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/laugh.gif" width=15 height=15>


***my true life experience would be summed up in a couple sentences. The walls melted and the windows breathed. Wondering for hrs. why they put all these buttons on the top of a sleeping mattress. Chewing up lifesaver's spitting them out...(god fearing my teeth were falling out!>>><img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/eek.gif" width=15 height=15><<<<AND to think after all that, WE DID IT AGAIN.....

For any non-dinasaura's 'Trippin Glasses' were a 70's left over from the 60's style of spectacles, that had 'the fly' effect. The lences were cut glass, if I remember they were diamond shaped.

*rip that joint, walk down the st. only to get one hell of a head-ache from over-use.

Man wasn't meant to see like a fly. THANK-GOD!.........<img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/dead.gif" width=15 height=15>

I didn't know that those guys smoked pot! Cheryl, did you know that pot smoking can lead to memory loss? <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/smile.gif" width=15 height=15>
