This documentary was a decent encapsulation of Peter Biskind's book. But as others have indicated in their comments, if you liked the video you'll love the book. It's one of the most entertaining books I've ever read. In writing it, Biskind conducted hundreds of interviews with the people directly involved in making those movies from the 60's and 70's: directors, stars, agents, studio executives, etc. You would think their responses would be bland and politically correct but its the exact opposite. There's enough dirt dished out to fill a quarry; the stories about Dennis Hopper alone are worth the price of the book. So think of the documentary as an appetizer. If you want the full meal try reading Biskind's book, you'll be glad you did.
Corman is God, there is none greater. Without him, the DIY spirit of today's camcorder filmmakers would never have happened. His existence far outweighs any of his movies.
@@TheWaterboarders It's probably a bit gossipy in some places, but never the less, Biskind gives a real feel for the personalities and the culture of the time that was a real golden age of filmmaking.
As I'm writing this the top box office movies are another Pirates of the Carribbean, another Guardians of the Galaxy, another Alien, another oh screw it.
It's so annoying listening to people talk about how older movies are better than modern ones. They aren't better, they are different. Just because a movie is a sequel or a box office hit doesn't make it bad, in fact it's the opposite, the reason it makes so much money is because people enjoy it, the reason they have a sequel is because it is a story that people enjoy and want to get more of, they want to see these characters again. That would be like saying a TV series is bad just because it has a second season

What most interests me about this doc is how could it apply to today. How might studios adapt? It seemed an impossible query at the time, but it at least as applicable today. With this last year's performances (largely outside of projection), what is the next step? As yesmen scramble and youtubers flourish, will the Heads readjust positively or are we bent on the path of franchises and sequels?
damm awesome doco on the history of american cinema of the 60's and 70's. if it was not for easy rider we would not of had this golden time of movies. the golden age of cinema for me was the 60's to the late 90's. today movies are so damm boring. but at the time the movies kicked ass with its rebel casts and directors. thank you america for easy rider otherwise hollywood would of been dead with the shit it was carrying on with.
I’d love to see a TV series based on the “Malibu Film Nerds” about a group of filmmakers partying, drinking, fucking, filming in 1970s L.A. It would be Mad Men meets Silicon Valley. Fuck it, I’ll just write it!
lol margot thought harvey was martys odd friend, if u didnt get marty u had to get either, harvey or bobby or even jack. lol man, this is mean street, goodfellas, taxi driver, raging bull, and ofc one of my faves, the departed all into one. i still have them all as well. srsly, i was waiting to hear deniro or nicholson talk, nvm this was hilarious and very mindblowing, but i loved it. oh the memories. these were the classic mafia/western/foreign films.
cocaine put a selfish slant on things and the art, music and movie business suffered and noticeably declined from the mid seventies on...alcohol, weed and psychedelics brought artist together ...coke pulled them apart...another documentary "from the Byrds to the Eagles" shows the same situation...
The book pissed a lot of people off, so they had trouble getting cooperation for the documentary adaptation of it. HEAVEN'S GATE needs it's own documentary and they knew it, so they probably thought to cut the film off before that happened.
The whole movie is a battle cry from the New Hollywood at the dawn of blockbusters. "You never got me down" epitomizes their will to get back up and continue making art.
Thanks for the upload, Marco. Heady times. This era of movie-making will always be dear to me. The instrumental at the end of the credits, do you know the artist?
Does anybody get the irony of all this? The very autur directors who started the director as omnipotent eventually brought about their end not because of their failures but because of their successes.
51:45 was spoofed in Michael Jackson Smooth Criminal when MJ runs into Steven Spielberg's western movie set. "my producer is doing this to me isn't he? i ask for a bad guy and he gives me michael jackson!"😃
nikosvault Depends on when someone was born. My bro was born in '77 and is still obsessed with Star Wars. I was born 3 years later and could give two shits about it.

I read the book first and then watched this. The book was a steak dinner and this was slice of chocolate cake
Mi época favorita del cine
Y la mía 😀
A very brief slice of a great book, this film barely scratches the surface.
Like most adaptations, but it is appreciated that it is so well made.
@@neomip agreed - very enjoyable. The book is a classic and this hits on some of the best bits.
The movie is rarely as good as the book.
La mejor etapa del cine estadounidense
Muchas gracias por subir esto. 🙂
Gran documental de una época mágica del cine estadounidense
Corman is God, there is none greater. Without him, the DIY spirit of today's camcorder filmmakers would never have happened. His existence far outweighs any of his movies.
The film is okay, but the book is on a whole other level - just can go into a lot more detail and depth. Biskind did an amazing job with it.
Blew my mind when I read it.

Jesus I can't believe Friedkin's 'Sorcerer' actually flopped....how is that possible?
Star wars.
As I'm writing this the top box office movies are another Pirates of the Carribbean, another Guardians of the Galaxy, another Alien, another oh screw it.
I think there is a big difference between "better" and higher revenue.
Of which mentions the second applies.
And guess what? They're great movies
Great doc for film lovers like myself really enjoyed watching it.
There is another one that is very good about the history of the cinema, next I will upload it ... It is a jewel

I think there are exceptions, just look for

This is a very good documentary based off an even better book by Peter Biskind.
Exactly, good documentary of an EXCELLENT BOOK, completely agree.

Ohhh thanks for the recommendation of the other documentary, I did not know of its existence. I'll look for it
Holy shit, this is awesome! Thanks for the great documentary!
Do you know one of the history of cinema, narrated by the great Martin Scorsese?
These days I'm going to go up.
that was great!
It wasn't cocaine that destroyed the great cinema, it was capitalism.
Decent documentary, feels very truncated though, not even mentioning Heavens Gate or others.
The book pissed a lot of people off, so they had trouble getting cooperation for the documentary adaptation of it. HEAVEN'S GATE needs it's own documentary and they knew it, so they probably thought to cut the film off before that happened.
It's good to see Dennis Hopper so lucid and reflective in this,because he really does not come across well in the book lol
He was stoned 24/7 during the 60's and 70's.
This is *really* well done for a documentary made in 2003...
You should read the book,it's appallingly readable!
@@tintomara6209 I'll have to give it a read. Thanks.
I think Raging Bull may have been an allegory for Scorsese's career.
The whole movie is a battle cry from the New Hollywood at the dawn of blockbusters. "You never got me down" epitomizes their will to get back up and continue making art.
I'd say Casino was an allegory of that whole era in Hollywood
Thanks for the upload, Marco. Heady times. This era of movie-making will always be dear to me. The instrumental at the end of the credits, do you know the artist?
READ THE BOOK!!! Has the meat of all this vanilla movie...

Depends on when someone was born.
My bro was born in '77 and is still obsessed with Star Wars.
I was born 3 years later and could give two shits about it.
Fuck Star wars
