Dennis Hopper succumbed to his battle with prostate cancer this morning. He was in and directed some great films. As much as I generally share Erik's loathing of hippies, I have always loved
Easy Rider. I don't know, may simply be my fondness for the landscape aesthetic of New Mexico. That said, Hopper was in a lot of excellent films including,
Rebel Without a Cause,
Cool Hand Luke,
Apocalypse Now,
Blue Velvet,
Hoosiers, and
Colors. He was also great in his
scene with
True Romance with Christopher Walken, race-baiting the gangster anti-Christ in a vendetta kind of mood.
