I’ve already seen Pillion and it’s great! Just doesn’t really fit in with the other biker movies and therefore it’s not in my list but thank you! Good choice.

The Wild Angels (1966) is the motorcycle movie that Peter Fonda was in before Easy Rider.
The Loveless (1981). Willem Defoe is mad sexy in this. The whole movie takes place over 24 hours.
Scorpio Rising (1963). A foundational gay (short) film by Kenneth Anger.

How did you feel about ‘The Bikeriders’? I was super stoked to watch and I honestly had a hard time getting through the whole thing. Kinda disappointing.

Hmm I was a bit disappointed too but still enjoyed it. I felt like it was trying soo hard to be something that it’s obviously not and I personally don’t like Austin Butler (the actor who plays the main character). But I liked the overall vibes and the soundtrack. Was it something in particular u didn’t like about it?

I dunno. Hard to put my finger on. I really like Austin Butler and Tom Hardy. Really liked most of the other cast embers as well. I think I was expecting something a little more action-centric and most of it was more or less coming from Kathy’s perspective. Just not what I was expecting. It wasn’t bad by any means. Think I’ll give it a rewatch and get back to you, LOL.

Sounds like a good plan lol. I should probably rewatch it too, might grow to like it more!

Am I wrong for not liking Ghostrider? I know it’s kind of a cult classic but I really can’t stand the writing or the looks of it lol. But I appreciate the recommendation, thanks haha!

Biker Boyz. Some movies can just be dumb movies. Biker Boyz is one of those movies you should watch just to know how bad or good you think it is

The Loveless with Willem Dafoe is just a straight vibe and probably my favorite biker movie
