This was an age when talented young filmmakers such as Scorsese, Coppola, and Spielberg, along with a new breed of actors, including De Niro, Pacino, and Nicholson, became the powerful figures who would make such modern classics as \u003ci\u003eThe Godfather, Chinatown, Taxi Driver, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eJaws. Easy Riders, Raging Bulls\u003c\/i\u003e follows the wild ride that was Hollywood in the '70s -- an unabashed celebration of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll (both onscreen and off) and a climate where innovation and experimentation reigned supreme. Based on hundreds of interviews with the directors themselves, producers, stars, agents, writers, studio executives, spouses, and ex-spouses, this is the full, candid story of Hollywood's last golden age. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eMARTIN SCORSESE ON DRUGS: \u003c\/b\u003e \"I did a lot of drugs because I wanted to do a lot, I wanted to push all the way to the very very end, and see if I could die.\" \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDENNIS HOPPER ON \u003ci\u003eEASY RIDER: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \"The cocaine problem in the United States is really because of me.
