Dennis Hopper: Create (or Die) - documentary 

Was on the lighting and camera crew on "Speed" and had daily discussions with Hopper on politics while he was in hair and makeup. This doc captured his essence. He was bigger than himself and could not be understood only in terms of his acting. Miss you...

Dennis was my neighbor for decades. It is hard to believe my "like" was only 9th one.

I want to thank the poster, and everyone involved in bringing this documentary to fruition. Very important to get something down about Dennis Hopper's life. Huge personality, and even more huge life and contribution.

Been watching everything Dennis Hopper lately. Not only was this man a genius he was one cool motherfucker man.

Saw his installation in Vienna. And the movie clip and easy rider in the theater they constructed. Thanks for this

Awh yes!, how did i not see this?. One of the coolest guys ever, and best actors ever. I've always liked him ever since i saw the Trip years ago, and the strange thing is, the year he died i bought Easy Rider, and left it aside for a few months, then i decide to play it and show my friends, the next day he's dead. He struck me obviously as a complete wild man which i love, but also warm and laid back -- he's the kind of guy you don't forget, and i always think of him.

This doco is outstanding

Thank you so much for sharing this. I was always intrigued by him after seeing Blue Velvet and The American Friend but I never looked into him honestly. This made me love the man. Such a great portrait on him and the authentic essence of the person he was.

He embodies his vision

Terrific memories of Dennis; thank you.

DENNIS HOPPER IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTORS

Great documentary dennis hopper lived his life to the fullest and was a great actor and a artists. thanks for showing up and being dennis hopper.

I love this documentary, great to see it in good quality too. Thanks for uploading!

Thank you for posting! Dennis was incredible

I can't imagine anyone doing the Frank role as well in Blue Velvet as Dennis. No one. He and Isabella knocked it out of the park.

Love Dennis Hopper. After admiring him for years I was delighted to learn that he , Eric Satie and myself shared the same renigade birthday according to Astrodienst.

Great doc! Hopper's life and career are fascinating.

lm reading Hopper's biography now....its a wild ride!

My favorite actor. Always has been..always will be

Thanks for posting!

That laugh always makes me smile

He had his life by portraying others his way.

Wow! Had no idea this existed. Dennis Hopper is an icon. Too bad he is underrated and not appreciated for the true genius that he was.

Thank you for posting this!

Total Legend. Dennis is

🐆 Leopard Print Toggles 🐆

His waterworld performance was so good.

A few months ago I saw the "Dennis Hopper Photographs 1961 - 1967" traveling exhibit in New Britain, Connecticut. I was, at once, very passionate again about everything I've seen from Hopper the actor & Hopper the visual artist. I consider the book to be an excellent follow-up to the exhibit & (now; i've just seen it) this documentary to be an excellent ...

Always liked him, he played in good movies especially as the villain. That movie the glory stompers I always liked. I just watched a movie of his last night called the last day’s of Frankie the fly, it was really good, guess that’s why I’m watching this documentary, can’t believe it’s been over 10 years since he’s passed.

I watch this on SBS 15 yrs ago

he used to be realty HOT back in his teens & 20s ..Gorgeous face & eyes 💖🥰

He was hit and miss. Fried his brain from too much drugs early on in his career. But he was exceptional in Easy Rider, Apocalypse Now, and True Romance.

Poem in the end was awesome. Dennis was a salty dude.

I didn't know this existed thank you

That was a great film.

Seeing the old men play golf made me think and we put them on a pedestal.

39:26 ... Jack Nicholson blows my mind every time I see this scene ... 50 years goes by ... and it’s one of the coolest thing I’ve ever heard off .

I didn't know Richard Hammond had been in these many movies, crashes yes...

He told her not to read his Poetry . Because it was dark and it was evil unlike like her. A disturbing Voo Doo that wasn’t for all souls. It was best for him not to even mention. The art was wrong but yet Still it exist. When all you consume is evil from an evil environment. Few lessons come from it. And the lesson is unknown at this point. He hoped his pen would run out of ink. It drew a large amount of strength from his soul and physical body. Sometimes he was exhausted but could not stop writing. Too afraid he would forget the words and subject. But somehow he just lost his place.

Brando was of the opinion that Hopper was batshit crazy. If you're old enough to know who Hopper was, you probably know Brando. You know: The one everyone, including all his contemporaries and colleagues, had dubbed the greatest actor of all time?

Actors are a strange lot. Know a few here in NY. Never can tell when they are genuine or acting. Definately in their own world. Strange occupation to me, hey what do I know.

1:24:04 awkward! Great documentary

Okay. I can't continue this anymore. What's the song playing at the end at 1:27:25 ? I did everything I could to find it. I really thought it was a fairly popular song, but google isn't in it's brightest form today. So can anyone help?

Hopper's House 5:49

The irony, I watched this on SBS, search for it on yt, ripped from SBS, sinced I watched this 10yrs ago, I think about it almost every fortnight

I’m no. 2!

LMAO on the Mexico story. Weird how he can remember that story, but probably blacked out so many others.

luv that doc !! but what about creators who lies to everybody...

These folks tortured themselves to make films back then. The back scenes make a better film. Dennis Hopper was insanely different, but the drugs and alcohol will crush even a transcendent soul. Not to mention these locations themselves. They're soul crushing alone.

Walk naked with a rock to the edge of South America and come back with an army to take back North America from a lost imaginary world war 3. Bad Ass.

I would have picked him to play Donald Trump

Arrogant. He kept a film company waiting for hours. How did he have career??
