An Outstanding Cult Classic


Shampoo is a great and funny cult classic and period piece. Particularly for those that experienced the late '60's and '70's free sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll life style.

Agreed. Very much so

I agree about the period piece aspect you bring up about it as an exploration of both the joys and consequences of the late 60s and 70s free love vibe, but it was the 4th highest grossing film of 1975 which wouldn't make it "cult".

A Classic movie, with Julie Christie almost too beautiful and ironic,clever to believe! She's an Icon with the black sequined dress showcasing her famous back!
There's nothing like that today and the Film is a masterpiece! The low IMDB's rating is a shame, due to some demented youngsters commenting on movies they should be only so lucky to get to watch!
