Two great movies every one should see. Although Easy Rider (1969) received more acclaim, Vanishing Point (1971) is the film people can’t seem to forget. They are driving films going in opposite directions: Easy Rider is Los Angeles going to New Orleans (hippies meet voodoo), and Vanishing Point is Denver going to San Francisco (mile-high meet hippies). Easy Rider is chock-full of stars. Vanishing Point has relatively unknown actors.
