Movies That Capture the Woodstock Vibe

Spread the love

We have nine months, the whole winter-spring-summer seasons, and a whole lot of waiting to go before the 50th Anniversary of Woodstock arrives in 2019. So what better way to get in the mood than to grab some popcorn, cuddle up on the couch, and binge watch some of the best movies to capture the Woodstock vibe. Whether you opt for a documentary focused on Woodstock, the sixties or the hippie subculture, or if you choose from a myriad of films made over the last fifty years, either way you will find something to transport you back in time.

So grab your popcorn, crank up the DVD player (or Netflix or Hulu or whatever streaming media you use) and get watching. Here is a list of some of our favorites, but we can not wait to hear which movies you pick for your list.  Share with us…which are your favorites? Which ones are not on the list that you think are essential for a Woodstock Movie Marathon?
