List of 3 awesome hippie movies + 3 awesome hippie books

Okay, so it's weeked. That means smoke, drink, read and sex, solo or with others, what difference does it make. Sorry if you didn't want to this.

I'm not really much of a movie fan. Most of the times I think it's a waste of time to watch movies. But last weeks I got more and more interested in hippie culture. The thing that contributed most to this interest (that develops to an obsession, as usual, for me, I get obsessed with a lot of things quite quickly) is reading Inherent Vice of Thomas Pynchon. It's a story about some Private Investigator, Larry 'Doc' Sportello, who is really in the hippie scene, and he's always stoned, and he's very laid back.

So now I'm half-interested half-obsessed with hippies (and implicit to that: with the 60's), I asked a kind of hippie friend to give me some tips about what to read that's alike Inherent Vice. He didn't know books, but he did know some movies. Namely:

- The Dreamers (2003)
- Steal This Movie! (2000)
- Humboldt County (2008)

So if you look for hippie movies, watch these.

If you look for hippie books, read this:

- Inherent Vice (2009), by Thomas Pynchon
- Vineland (don't know and too lazy to look it up), Thomas Pynchon
- Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test (same), Tom Wolfe

Have fun
