EASY RIDER
In 1969, it transcended the biker genre with the extraordinary perspective it brought to its depiction of a couple of hippie types (Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper) on a collision course with reactionary America. Dominating is Jack Nicholson’s alcoholic lawyer.

ANOTHER WOMAN
One can regret a virtual total absence of humor in this 1988 Woody Allen film and still be beguiled by it. At its center is Gena Rowlands as a successful professional woman of 50, who is at last confronted with the truth that she has distanced herself from her emotions all her life. Sandy Dennis is especially memorable amid a huge, typically distinguished Allen cast.

SUNDAY, BLOODY SUNDAY
Written by Penelope Gilliat, this 1971 film remains among director John Schlesinger’s very best. It offers a witty, detached-yet-compassionate view of a successful middle-aged London physician (Peter Finch) and Glenda Jackson as his wry, younger, less affluent rival for the affections of handsome Murray Head, who professes to love them both.
