There are a few key films that changed the landscape of American cinema in my opinion. The first being Arthur Penn’s classic “Bonnie and Clyde”, the second; John Schlesinger’s “Midnight Cowboy” and finally Dennis Hopper’s “Easy Rider”. Sure, there were a few more notable films from the late 60’s that ushered in the Hollywood auteur era such-as: “The Wild Bunch”, “The Graduate” and “In the Heat of the…
