Psycho jello, baby - I remember seeing Head for the first time on Beta Max when I was a foolhardy sweet young thing of a Monkees fan - and I was stopped dead in my tracks. What in the world is going on here? This is NOTHING like the TV show! And man, am I grateful for that! A veritable slice of life film filled with counter culture references, inside jokes, and iconic late 60s imagery, Head is a trip (pun intended) through the real and the imagined experience. Problem is, you never know which is which. Produced by the men who brought you Five Easy Pieces, this Monkees tale is unlike any you have seen before. Often referred to a the series suicide on film (no, that *might* be 33 1/3), the four boys are out of their beach pad and into some clearly drug laden scenarios. The romping lads are a bit more grown up and not always fun to be with, however, the essence of the "characters" of Mike, Micky, Davy and Peter are always there. A shock to the pre-teen fan base, Head was not a commercial success (despite the many cameos by stars like Annette Funicello, Victor Mature and even Frank Zappa), but has become a beloved cult hit by Monkees fans around the globe. The real shining star of this film is the music. Penned by greats such as Carole King, Harry Nilsson, Peter Tork and Michael Nesmith, the soundtrack grooves, soothes and rocks. My personal favorites are the live performance of Circle Sky which interjects stark news reel footage, and the inimitable song and dance man Davy Jones' performance of Daddy's Song featuring dancer/choreographer-gone-80s-pop-one-hit-wonder Toni Basil. On complete opposite ends of the entertainment spectrum, these two scenes are what keep me coming back to this film. Those, and the desperate yen for a cold beverage. You'll see what I mean. If continuity, linear story arcs and character development are your thing, you may want to venture elsewhere. But if you can open your mind to goofy fun, toungue-in-cheek comedy and rocking music - take a Head trip. Review: Oh... Wow... like... - In 1968, some time in the Autumn, this movie was shown on BBC1. My Mom and Dad, who were strict Bretheren types, "approved" of the Monkees, but this one only got five minutes, and that was it. Off. My older sister sneaked in later and we watched bits of it with the volume way down. When I came across it in later years (first kid just having arrived), I was totaly in awe. This film is like, a masterpiece, man. Even if you take into account the fact that it must have been conceived under the influence, it is very clever. The whole theme of head is basically the idea of continuity, or rather the issue of continuity. What can you do if you are prepared to view a movie as a series of mere transformations? The whole point is not so much that there isn't a plot, but that the world the Monkees really live in is in fact too complex and confusing to support one. Over and over again they find themselves way out of their depth, pursued, chased, threatened by incomprehensible enemies, sometimes known, sometimes familiar, but never explained much. At times there are moments of tenderness, even real desire and longing, but these are transitory, often followed by more confusion. The music is very good and gives you a very nostaligic feeling about Vietnam and Carole King and all those long ago days. Even Uncle Frank Zappa makes an appearance, albeit under strange circumstances (which I have no doubt he specified in advance). My son (who is now 15 or so) thinks the funniest scene is when Mickey gets angry with the Coke machine in the desert. The humour is clearly a general product of Mickey Dolenze's fevered imagination. The slippage of the real with the unreal is very much in line with the sort of visual and conceptual surrealism that Zappa pursued in his more inspired 60's sessions. The fact that the film director and crew are often featured (or at least appear from time to time, looking their best to be totally cool and just working), and the often unrehearsed feel for some of the scenes (especially the scene after the cafe) gives you a really unusual feeling of being integrated in with the movie. Given the fact that this is one of the most psychedelic and mind twisting movies ever anyway, and especially if you're smoking anything, you'll walk away from this and maybe miss the door and go straight throught the wall. Don't miss this for goodness sake. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 404 Reviews | ## Images ![Head - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qnLBVWlBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wait, what just happened?

"Spiceworld"(1998) was cute, as The Spice Girls poke fun at themselves, and the music/entertainment world in general. "The Brady Bunch Movie"(1995) and "A Very Brady Sequel"(1996) are humorous satire, asking the audience "What if we take a family who is stuck in a time warp, and place them in today's lifestyle?" The punch line is of course having the Brady family live in the '70's while the "real world" lives in the now. In the same, or similar traditions, we have "Head" (1968) starring Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Mike Nesmith, and Peter Tork, a.k.a The Monkees. One the one hand, it's a humorous satire. This film has no plot, nor does it have any story line for the audience to follow. It is a great escape from their tv. show; it's not the type of movie one would have excpected The Monkees to have made. Still, that's one of the things that made it enjoyable. Full of unexpected twists, and surprise turns, laughable moments, and good music. On the other hand, The Monkees seemed very frusterated at being labled the "Pre-fab four", and was very obvious in this movie. The thing that worked in making this film such a great satire, is the groups savage self-mockery. This was also the begining of the break-up. The single "Porpoise Song (Theme from "Head")" was called "an abysmal failure", hitting the charts at #41 in Cash Box, and #62 in Billboard. The movie "Head" bombed at the box office, when it premiered in 1968; yet, today is considered a cult classic. Peter Tork quit the group , citing exhaustion but obviously frusterated as well. Myself, on a personal, had just watched it for the first time just recently; renting it from Hollywood Video. I enjoyed it. I appreciated the Monkees poking fun at themselves. There are many memorable scenes I had found quite humorous (like Micky Dolenz blowing up a Coke machine in the desert with a tank! Davy Jones in a boxing match getting the "you-know-what" knocked out of him!) I hope whoever is reading this finds this to be insightful, and helpful. All I can say is this; if you enjoyed the '60's tv show, and enjoyed the antics, and comedy, you will also love "Head". --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/2077583-head](https://www.desertcart.de/products/2077583-head) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
