the Alice's Restaurant movie. the acting, the writing, the plot, the poor taste of some of the scenes. it was filmed like a year after woody Guthrie died and they had arlo do scenes with an actor playing his actual father on his deathbed! obviously making an 18 minute song into a full length movie will require some additions but all the new stuff is absurd! so many tiny things wrong with that movie have stuck with me years later and i hate it so so so much. luckily it hasn't ruined my enjoyment of the song or Arlo Guthrie's other stuff but that movie is unforgivable
Hippie movies always crack me up because it's always some hippie kid watching a normal family like, eating dinner and they just sit there watching and saying something like "far out!" with a completely flat expression on their face. "So your guys' trip is that you all sit around a table and eat together?!? Heavy."
