It’s Easy Riders Raging Bulls, a documentary based on Peter Biskind’s book of the same title (which I also read at the time, and enjoyed). The next recording starts with a brief snatch of Top of the Pops, with Dermot O’Leary, but since this was late at night, I’m assuming this was I Love 1992 which I jolly well should have been recording.īut it switches to BBC Four, and the next recording is similarly missing the start – in fact it’s missing about 70 minutes, which would be really annoying except that it’s on Amazon Prime, so I can at least watch all of it. For completeness, Here’s all the questions, including all the easy ones just for fun.Īnd here’s the whole episode (including the Fastest Finger First bit that my recording misses).

Macy, the documentary features vintage clips of Coppola, Scorsese, Beatty, George Lucas, Sam Peckinpah, Roman Polanski, Robert Altman, and Pauline Kael. Influential directors who appear include Arthur Penyn ("Bonnie and Clyde"), Dennis Hopper ("Easy Rider"), Francis Ford Coppola ("The Godfather"), John Schlesinger ("Midnight Cowboy"), Bob Rafelson ("Five Easy Pieces") Martin Scorsese ("Taxi Driver"), Peter Bogdanovich ("The Last Picture Show"), and Jonathan Demme ("Crazy Mama").
