This movie has possibly the-best-trapped-in-a-closet-scene, EVER!!I'm serious, I actually can't even think time a film has even come this close to accurately recreating the experience of being trapped in a closet.Also that bit where he is running amok on the street with all the saxophone playing, sheer madness. Just like in real life.And that bit on the couch with the kid on the couch, I WAS THERE! Running from his confused father, it happened!***SPOILER ALEART***At one point he gets trapped in a closet and it is A-MAZ-ING !!

Written by the 30 year old Jack Nicholson !! I saw this years ago... never knew he wrote it. One of a handful of films from the 60s and 70s that honestly dealt with drug use (Skidoo. The President's Analyst. The Acid Eaters would come a year later. ) Some AWESOME street and neighborhood scenes of 1960's Los Angeles. Too much fun. Peter Fonda. Dennis Hopper. Susan Strasberg. Bruce Dern. Everything is groovy, man, filmed during the upswing of the flower power years. Is there a plot? Yeah, sort of. Doesn't really matter. Quite the serious disclaimer at the beginning. I guess this film was pretty shocking for the movie patrons at the time, when everyone would have gone to the theater to see it. Pot smoking. Acid. Planning for it, talking about it, and doing it. Tight pants and short skirts. Midgets, Middle Ages. Too weird. The focus and the sound are a little shaky, but who cares. Finally being shown on Turner Classic Movies. Definitely worth watching, for the psychedelic hippies, clothes, and wallpaper. Some interesting extras in the cast list... Brandon DeWilde, Peter Bogdano, Gram Parsons. Fonda, Hopper, Nicholson, and Luana Anders would work together in Easy Rider, of course. Didn't end well for DeWilde or Parsons. Anders died pretty young too. Catch both The Trip and Easy Rider when they come on. Excellent stories.

Dude, all I have to say about this movie is..........WOW!!!! I don't usually go for this type of movie but I saw that it was on Retroplex and I have heard of it for years but have never seen it. The (plot?) is about this soon-to-be-divorced TV commercial director and his LSD trip and the effects it has on him..............that's it. I seen that it was written by Jack Nicholson. What did he have to write???? All there is is a bunch of psychedelic colors, some very loud late 60's music and Peter Fonda running around. Dennis Hopper plays a flipped out drug dealer and Bruce Dern plays Fonda's friend who introduces him to LSD. You won't need any luggage to go on this trip. All you will need is some weed and some LSD and you are on your way.

The Trip (1935) *** out of **** Directed by Roger CormanWith Peter Fonda, Susan Strasberg, Bruce Dern, Dennis Hopper Fonda found lost when he and his wife get divorced, then, to scape from reality, he take a pill of LSD. What we're going to see is his entire trip. Psychodelic surrealism at it's best. Jump on that inconsistent Warning at the begin of the film, this is not a propaganda is pure homage to the drug itself. Written by a young Jack Nicholson. Music by the American Flag (Named here as "An American Music Band"). In psychedelic color!
