On Any Sunday. So far it outshines anything else as far as the mood it gives and I think it would encourage anyone to examine riding for themselves, even if they never rode.

My only downside on Easy Rider (actually a few small nit picks). One - choppers. Just not a fan of making a bike harder to ride to look cooler. Two - the main characters get clobbered in the end. Three - they are transporting drugs in a bike. Four - they are doing drugs on a bike.

I am not a prude, but I think this movie actually helps to make bikers look worse and promotes the attitude we here fight to smash out. Still though, I'm not knocking your movie choice, as it is one of the best known MC films in existance. I just hope everyone who calls this the biggest MC movie (and many, many do) aren't trying to emulate this behaviour.

it's a 35 year old movie, dude...i don't think people need mothering about the biker image it may or may not convey. relax.

This film about the late 60s counterculture was Hopper's debut as a director. Hippies persecuted by small-minded individuals who judge them by the length of their hair....during a post-summer-of-love aimless generation. This was groundbreaking stuff for a film-maker back then.....and all on a budget of $348,000
