- Description: Like the rest of America, Hollywood was ripe for revolution in the late sixties. Cinema attendance was down; what had once worked seemed broken.

The innovative films produced by this team between 1968 and 1972 are collected in this box set; works created within the studio system but lifted right out of the countercultural id, and that now range from iconic to the acclaimed to the obscure. Starring Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, Dennis Hooper, Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson, Karen Black, Orson Welles. Films featured include EASY RIDER, FIVE EASY PIECES, THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, THE KING OF MARVIN GARDENS, HEAD, DRIVE HE SAID, a SAFE PLACE.
