The Monkees was an American situation comedy that first aired on NBC in two long series between September 12 , 1966 and March 25 , 1968 . The series followed the adventures of four young men ( the Monkees ) trying to make a name for themselves as a rock ' n roll band . The show introduced a number of innovative new-wave film techniques to series television and won two Emmy Awards in 1967 , including Outstanding Comedy Series . The program ended in 1968 at the finish of its second season and has received a long afterlife through Saturday morning repeats ( CBS and ABC ) and syndication , as well as overseas broadcasts ; it later enjoyed a 1980s revival , after MTV aired reruns of the program in 1986 . It has aired on Sunday afternoons on MeTV , since February 24 , 2019 , three days after the death of Peter Tork .
A sitcom , clipping for situational comedy ( situation comedy in the U.S. ) , is a genre of comedy centered on a fixed set of characters who carry over from episode to episode . Sitcoms can be contrasted with sketch comedy , where a troupe may use new characters in each sketch , and stand-up comedy , where a comedian tells jokes and stories to an audience . Sitcoms originated in radio , but today are found mostly on television as one of its dominant narrative forms . A situational comedy television programme may be recorded in front of a studio audience , depending on the programme 's production format . The effect of a live studio audience can be imitated or enhanced by the use of a laugh track . During filming productions , the laugh track is usually pre-recorded . Critics disagree over the utility of the term sitcom in classifying shows that have come into existence since the turn of the century . Many contemporary American sitcoms use the single-camera setup and do not feature a laugh track , thus often resembling the dramedy shows of the 1980s and 1990s rather than the traditional sitcom . Other topics of debate have included whether or not cartoons , such as The Simpsons or Family Guy , can be classified as sitcoms .
Head is a 1968 American satirical musical adventure film written and produced by Jack Nicholson and Bob Rafelson , directed by Rafelson , starring television rock group the Monkees ( Davy Jones , Micky Dolenz , Peter Tork and Michael Nesmith ) , and distributed by Columbia Pictures . During production , one of the working titles for the film was Changes , which was later the name of an unrelated album by The Monkees . Another working title was Untitled . A rough cut of the film was previewed for audiences in Los Angeles in the summer of 1968 under the name Movee Untitled . The film featured Victor Mature as The Big Victor and cameo appearances by Nicholson , Teri Garr , Carol Doda , Annette Funicello , Frank Zappa , Sonny Liston , Timothy Carey , Percy Helton and Ray Nitschke . Also appearing on screen in brief non-speaking parts are Dennis Hopper and film choreographer Toni Basil .
Easy Rider is a 1969 American independent road drama film written by Peter Fonda , Dennis Hopper , and Terry Southern , produced by Fonda , and directed by Hopper . Fonda and Hopper played two bikers who travel through the American Southwest and South , carrying the proceeds from a cocaine deal . The success of Easy Rider helped spark the New Hollywood era of filmmaking during the early 1970s . A landmark counterculture film , and a touchstone for a generation that captured the national imagination , Easy Rider explores the societal landscape , issues , and tensions in the United States during the 1960s , such as the rise of the hippie movement , drug use , and communal lifestyle . Real drugs were used in scenes showing the use of marijuana and other substances . Easy Rider was released by Columbia Pictures on July 14 , 1969 , grossing $ 60 million worldwide from a filming budget of no more than $ 400,000 . Critics have praised the performances , directing , writing , soundtrack , visuals , and atmosphere . The film was added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 1969
A road movie is a film genre in which the main characters leave home on a road trip , typically altering the perspective from their everyday lives . Road movies often depict travel in the hinterlands , with the films exploring the theme of alienation and examining the tensions and issues of the cultural identity of a nation or historical period ; this is all often enmeshed in a mood of actual or potential menace , lawlessness , and violence , a distinctly existential air and is populated by restless , frustrated , often desperate characters . The setting includes not just the close confines of the car as it moves on highways and roads , but also booths in diners and rooms in roadside motels , all of which helps to create intimacy and tension between the characters . Road movies tend to focus on the theme of masculinity ( with the man often going through some type of crisis ) , some type of rebellion , car culture , and self-discovery . The core theme of road movies is rebellion against conservative social norms . There are two main narratives : the quest and the outlaw chase . In the quest-style film , the story meanders as the characters make discoveries ( e.g. , Two-Lane Blacktop from 1971 ) . In outlaw road movies , in which the characters are fleeing from law enforcement , there is usually more sex and violence ( e.g. , Natural Born Killers from 1994 ) . Road films tend to focus more on characters ' internal conflicts and transformations , based on their feelings as they experience new realities on their trip , rather than on the dramatic movement-based sequences that predominate in action films . Road movies do not typically use the standard three-act structure used in mainstream films ; instead , an open-ended , rambling plot structure is used . The road movie keeps its characters on the move , and as such the car , the tracking shot , [ and ] wide and wild open space are important iconography elements , similar to a Western movie . As well , the road movie is similar to a Western in that road films are also about a frontiersmanship and about the codes of discovery ( often self-discovery ) .
Five Easy Pieces is a 1970 American drama film written by Carole Eastman ( as Adrien Joyce ) and Bob Rafelson , and directed by Rafelson . The film stars Jack Nicholson , with Karen Black , Susan Anspach , Ralph Waite , and Sally Struthers in supporting roles . The film tells the story of surly oil rig worker Bobby Dupea , whose rootless blue-collar existence belies his privileged youth as a piano prodigy . When Bobby learns that his father is dying , he goes home to see him , taking along his waitress girlfriend . The film was nominated for four Academy Awards and five Golden Globe Awards , and , in 2000 , was selected to be preserved by the Library of Congress in the National Film Registry .
In film and television , drama is a genre of narrative fiction ( or semi-fiction ) intended to be more serious than humorous in tone . Drama of this kind is usually qualified with additional terms that specify its particular subgenre , such as police crime drama , political drama , legal drama , historical period drama , domestic drama , teen drama or comedy-drama . These terms tend to indicate a particular setting or subject-matter , or else they qualify the otherwise serious tone of a drama with elements that encourage a broader range of moods . All forms of cinema or television that involve fictional stories are forms of drama in the broader sense if their storytelling is achieved by means of actors who represent ( mimesis ) characters . In this broader sense , drama is a mode distinct from novels , short stories , and narrative poetry or songs . In the modern era before the birth of cinema or television , drama within theatre was a type of play that was neither a comedy nor a tragedy . It is this narrower sense that the film and television industries , along with film studies , adopted . Radio drama has been used in both senses - originally transmitted in a live performance , it has also been used to describe the more high-brow and serious end of the dramatic output of radio .
The Last Picture Show is a 1971 American drama film directed and co-written by Peter Bogdanovich , adapted from a semi-autobiographical 1966 novel The Last Picture Show by Larry McMurtry . Set in a small town in north Texas from November 1951 to October 1952 , it is about the coming of age of Sonny Crawford ( Timothy Bottoms ) and his friend Duane Jackson ( Jeff Bridges ) . The cast also includes Cybill Shepherd in her film debut , Ellen Burstyn , Ben Johnson , and Cloris Leachman , and features Eileen Brennan , Clu Gulager , and Randy Quaid . For aesthetic reasons , it was shot in black and white , which was unusual for the time . The film features many songs of Hank Williams Sr. and other recording artists . The film was nominated for eight Academy Awards , including Best Picture , Best Director , Ben Johnson and Jeff Bridges for Best Supporting Actor , and Ellen Burstyn and Cloris Leachman for Best Supporting Actress , with Johnson and Leachman winning . In 1998 the film was deemed culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry .
Drive , He Said is a 1971 American motion picture released by Columbia Pictures . It is one of the lesser-known works in the influential group of New Hollywood films of the late 1960s and early 1970s made by independent production house Raybert Productions ( The Monkees , Easy Rider ) and its successor , BBS Productions . Based upon the 1964 novel of the same title by Jeremy Larner , the film , which stars William Tepper , is notable as the directorial debut of Jack Nicholson ( who also wrote the screenplay ) following his breakthrough as an actor in Easy Rider ( 1969 ) and Five Easy Pieces ( 1970 ) . Although it was coolly received at the time , and has subsequently faded into obscurity , the production brought together many significant Hollywood names . Director of photography Bill Butler gained renown for his later work on classic films such as Steven Spielberg 's Jaws , Francis Ford Coppola 's The Conversation , and One Flew Over the Cuckoo 's Nest . Original music was composed by David Shire ( then married to Coppola 's sister , Talia ) and the screenplay included uncredited contributions from future director Terence Malick . It starred several of Nicholson 's friends and frequent screen collaborators in leading roles - Karen Black , Bruce Dern , Robert Towne and Henry Jaglom ( although Towne and Jaglom became better known as screenwriter and director , respectively ) . Several younger actors who became familiar TV faces in later years were also featured in small supporting roles , including David Ogden Stiers ( M*A*S*H ) , Cindy Williams ( Laverne & Shirley ) and Michael Warren ( Hill Street Blues ) , who ( like Tepper ) was also a former collegiate basketball player . It was filmed on the campus of the University of Oregon and other locations in Eugene , Oregon . The film is also notable for its then-controversial use of profanity , its depictions of sex and drug use , and for several scenes of male frontal nudity , including a locker-room shower scene , and the mental breakdown scene in which Gabriel ( Margotta ) is shown frontally nude , which led to an attempt by the censor to give the film an X rating . The title comes from the poem I Know A Man by Robert Creeley , which a character recites in the opening scene . It also serves as a cryptic reference to basketball , the movie 's dominant milieu .
A Safe Place is a 1971 film written and directed by Henry Jaglom and starring Tuesday Weld , Orson Welles , and Jack Nicholson .
The King of Marvin Gardens is a 1972 American drama film . It stars Jack Nicholson , Bruce Dern , Ellen Burstyn and Scatman Crothers . It is one of several collaborations between Nicholson and director Bob Rafelson . The majority of the film is set in a wintry Atlantic City , New Jersey , with cinematography by László Kovács . The title alludes to the Marven Gardens in Margate , New Jersey as well as to one of the properties in the original Monopoly game .
Hearts and Minds is a 1974 American documentary film about the Vietnam War directed by Peter Davis . The film 's title is based on a quote from President Lyndon B. Johnson : the ultimate victory will depend on the hearts and minds of the people who actually live out there . The movie was chosen as the winner of the Oscar for Best Documentary at the 47th Academy Awards presented in 1975 . The film premiered at the 1974 Cannes Film Festival . Commercial distribution was delayed in the United States due to legal issues , including a temporary restraining order obtained by one of the interviewees , former National Security Advisor Walt Rostow who had claimed through his attorney that the film was somewhat misleading and not representative and that he had not been given the opportunity to approve the results of his interview . Columbia Pictures refused to distribute the picture , which forced the producers to purchase back the rights and release it by other means . The film was shown in Los Angeles for the one week it needed to be eligible for consideration in the 1974 Academy Awards . In 2018 , the film was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant .
A documentary film is a non-fictional , motion picture intended to document reality , primarily for the purposes of instruction , education , or maintaining a historical record . Documentary has been described as a filmmaking practice , a cinematic tradition , and mode of audience reception that is continually evolving and is without clear boundaries . Documentary films were originally called actuality films , and were one minute , or less , in length . Over time , documentaries have evolved to be longer in length , and to include more categories ; some examples being : educational , observational , and docufiction . Documentaries are meant to be informative works , and are often used within schools , as a resource to teach various principles . Social media platforms , such as YouTube , have provided an avenue for the growth of the documentary film genre ; These platforms have increased the distribution area and ease-of-accessibility ; thereby , enhancing the ability to educate a larger volume of viewers , and broadening the reach of persons who receive that information .
Tracks is a 1976 American drama film written and directed by Henry Jaglom and starring Dennis Hopper , Taryn Power and Dean Stockwell . The story involves a returned Vietnam veteran escorting a fellow soldier 's coffin across the United States for burial .
Days of Heaven is a 1978 American romantic period drama film written and directed by Terrence Malick and starring Richard Gere , Brooke Adams , Sam Shepard , and Linda Manz . Set in 1916 , it tells the story of Bill and Abby , lovers who travel to the Texas Panhandle to harvest crops for a wealthy farmer . Bill encourages Abby to claim the fortune of the dying farmer by tricking him into a false marriage . Days of Heaven was Malick 's second feature film , after Badlands ( 1973 ) , and was produced on a budget of $ 3 million . Production was particularly troublesome , with a tight shooting schedule in Canada in 1976 and significant budget constraints . Additionally , editing took Malick a lengthy two years , due to difficulty with achieving a general flow and assembly of the scenes . This was eventually solved with an added , improvised narration by Linda Manz . The film was scored by Ennio Morricone and photographed by Néstor Almendros and Haskell Wexler . Days of Heaven received positive reviews on its original theatrical release ; its photography was widely praised , although a small number of critics considered only this aspect to be worthy of high praise . It was not a significant commercial success , but did win an Academy Award for Best Cinematography along with three nominations for the score , costume design and sound . Malick also won the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival . Days of Heaven has since become one of the most acclaimed films of its decade , noted particularly for its cinematography .
