THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN IN AMERICA

COLOURS – DENNIS HOPPER

Volatile adrenaline junkie Danny McGavin jumps headfirst into the LAPD gang department and finds himself as much in conflict with his veteran partner Bob Hodges as with the gang members he’s surrounded by.

BLUE VELVET – DENNIS HOPPER

Hopper’s career reviving portrayal of the sociopathic Frank Booth, wired on amyl nitrate and violently confusing pleasure and pain overshadows Kyle MacLachlan’s lead and the tragically beautiful Isabella Rossellini, to create one of the most terrifying villains to ever crawl out of suburbia and onto the cinema screen.

MAD DOG MORGAN – DENNIS HOPPER

Using the locations where 19th century bushranger Dan Morgan had been active, this low budget, semi-amateur slice of Australian New Wave sets out to capture the griminess and madness of Australia’s past.

EASY RIDER – DENNIS HOPPER

Hopper’s directorial debut single-handedly ushered in New Hollywood with its rock soundtrack, fluid photography and visceral editing. One of the most important films of the decade, it catapulted Hopper into Hollywood’s A-list and proved impossible for him (or co-star Peter Fonda) to follow.

GREENBERG
