Summary
Head: A kaleidoscope of surreal vignettes set to music, this fast-paced film takes a psychedelic look at the pop phenomenon called the Monkees as they shatter their pre-fab imageEasy rider: Two motorcyclists travel across the U.S. in search of the real America, encountering along the way its big cities and small towns, a hippie commune, and drugs and sex in New OrleansFive easy pieces: a talented pianist has given up a promising career and now works on oil rigs. After 20 years he returns home to his father's deathbed, perhaps to reconcile himself with his fear of failure and desire for greatnessDrive, he said: Hector (Tepper) is a confused basketball star at an Ohio college, who can't decide whether he wants to be a professional or spend his time rabble rousing with the radicals on campusA safe place: An attractive but lonely woman seems to flit back and forth in time and between reality and fantasy under the eye of a mysterious magicianThe last picture show: A bittersweet drama of the social and sexual mores in small-town 1950s TexasThe king of Marvin Gardens: Gritty story of small-time losers and big-time dreamers in Atlantic City
