THOSE TRIPPY HIPPIES ON THE SCREEN (2025): Posters for psychedelic films of the late Sixties and beyond

For our own amusement recently we showcased posters for biker movies which all promised menace and general badness.

Now we turn our attention to the subject of hippies and how they were portrayed in quick-fire cash-in movies of the late Sixties and early Seventies.

Sort of menace and general badness, but in more colourful clothes.

So here we go, let the posters speak for themselves (and as you'll note many of these films includes actual footage of actual hippies doing what they actually did).

And there were bands of the day in the movies too.

These films and many more are available through www.thevideobeat.com

Hey, what was Micky Dolenz of the Monkees up to?
