Calling Easy Rider the best Harley movie of all time is a lot like suggesting oxygen is the best breathable element: it’s kind of a no-brainer. The freewheeling tale of Wyatt (Peter Fonda) and Billy (Dennis Hopper) not only changed American filmmaking, it seared an indelible image of Fonda’s 1951 “Captain America” Panhead Chopper into the minds of moviegoers, bikers, stoners, and moviegoing-biker-stoners everywhere. The original bikes used in the films were destroyed and/or stolen long ago, though a faithful “Captain America” replica currently resides in Milwaukee’s Harley-Davidson Museum.
A list of must see and must miss motorcycle films in honor of Harley-Davidson’s 110th anniversary.
