What are some good examples of 60s counterculture in film? So far I have Easy Rider, Bonnie & Clyde, If...., and American Graffitti? Thoughts?

American Graffiti doesn't really work.

What, it isn't good? Or just not counter-culture? I was thinking of watching this very soon.

I wonder what would happen if we showed Star Wars to a person who never heard of it. Like they had no cultural knowledge of the film. I wonder.
