Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Sell out warning! Two counter-cultural acid classics back-to-back in the Ill Repute’s basement - flower power-friendly free entry too! Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson and Dennis Hopper’s genius are all over the lesser known B movie psych-ploitation flick The Trip, a must-see precursor to the zeitgeist-defining Easy Rider."

The Trip (1967)
Directed by Roger Corman and written by Jack Nicholson, "The Trip" is a psychedelic journey into the mind of a man experiencing an LSD trip. Paul Groves (Peter Fonda), a television commercial director, decides to take LSD as a means of self-discovery following a personal crisis. The film vividly depicts his hallucinogenic experiences, blending surreal visuals and a kaleidoscopic narrative. "The Trip" is a bold and experimental film that delves into the 1960s fascination with altered states of consciousness and the search for deeper meaning.
Easy Rider (1969)
Directed by Dennis Hopper, "Easy Rider" is a landmark film in American cinema that encapsulates the spirit of freedom and the counterculture movement. The film follows two bikers, Wyatt (Peter Fonda) and Billy (Dennis Hopper), as they embark on a cross-country journey from Los Angeles to New Orleans. Along the way, they encounter various characters and situations that reflect the social tensions and cultural shifts of the time. Featuring a groundbreaking soundtrack and stunning cinematography, "Easy Rider" is a poignant exploration of the American Dream and its discontents.
