Five movie hippies who make us wish we'd lived in the '60s

​ With Taking Woodstock in theaters today, hippies are on our mind. Specifically those scantily clad, flowers-in-the-hair, joint-tugging types who make us children of the '80s wish we had a DeLorean, a six pack of plutonium, and plenty of road. We're sure there are some lovable hippie chick ... More >>
