A lot of good choices but my first thought was Blue Velvet. He was a psycho

First thing I thought of was Hoosiers ... but after seeing the list, had to vote for Blue Velvet.

I've never seen Easy Rider.  Does it hold up?  I might have to add it to my older-movies-I've-never-seen-but-plan-to-some-day list

It really hasn't aged well, but it does give you a good sense of how writers/directors/cinematographers tried to depict the time and the drugs.

No Carried Away option?  I watched that one a few times.

Well, a particular scene a few times.

His scene with Christopher Walken in true romance is one of the best scenes ever filmed by two great actors at their peak

By reputation - Easy Rider.  But by my personal experience - Blue Velvet, so I voted that. (And yes I have seen Easy Rider)

Having said that, he sure made his few minutes of screen time in True Romance memorable.

Dennis Hopper went to my high school.   I feel obligated to post that.   Carry on.

Just saw him as a neo-nazi in an old Twilight Zone. I'm not voting for that, but I really wanted to mention it..

Easy Rider hasn’t aged well but it was a first of its kind movie and from a ‘phenomenon’ standpoint...extremely relevant in terms of movie history.

I picked that because when I think of Hopper, I think of drugs...not basketball.  Plus, he also directed it.   Blue Velvet was great too though...

Suave man. You're so ####### suave!

Honorable mention: The crazy referee in those 90's Nike commercials.

Went with Blue Velvet. True Romance is a close second, but Pabst ####### Blue Ribbon will never be forgotten in this mind.

Being from Indiana I'm partial to Hoosiers.

Blue Velvet is probably the right answer though.
