A movie I have not seen for more than a decadeAnonymous 11/20/2009 
  This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is sad that it is one of those movies that is hard to find on DVD so a person can watch it at their pleasure.

Psych-Out   1968     half star  User Rating      N/R, 88 min.
Genre: Comedy
Director: Richard Rush  
Cast: Susan Strasberg, Dean Stockwell, Jack Nicholson, Bruce Dern, Adam Roarke, Max Julien, Henry Jaglom, Linda Gaye Scott, Ken Scott, Garry Marshall

  This film gets its "1/2 star" rating only because it is an EARLY Jack Nicholson film. However, the plot is weak and involves a deaf girl (Susan Strasberg) searching for her brother among the 1960's "hippies" of San Francisco. Of course, some of those who were part of that culture may enjoy it.    1 User Review
