The damn hippies even got blown away in the end! that really suprised me

Ah the memories. Best part was the music, for me—especially The Band. Glad you got to see that one, Sammy. As narpet says, truly a film by hippies, for hippies, paranoia about the Man and everything else included. I checked my rear view mirror for hostile rednecks for days after that flick, and I was in Chicago .

We watched Das Boot this weekend, supposedly to promote my German language project, but it turned out to be an English dubbed soundtrack with English subtitles. (wtf?) Still an excellent flick though not my normal fare—another one of those Easy Rider/Titanic endings, as well. The feel of losing a war, the acting, and minimalist script, all very effective.
