Dennis Hopper

Dennis Hopper. One of the most talented but controversial actors of the 20th century, almost as notorious for his off-screen alcohol and drug abuse as he was for his roles in such powerful films as his self-directed The Last Movie, David Lynch's Blue Velvet, or Tim Hunter's River's Edge. Dennis Movie Top Tens presents a chronological examination of ten of Dennis Hopper's most challenging movies, which are analysed in illustrated, in-depth essays by some of the best cutting-edge film critics of today.
