That film led to a small supporting role in Easy Rider (1969), for which he received his first Oscar nomination. A Best Actor nomination came the following year for his persona-defining role in Five Easy Pieces (1970), which includes his famous chicken salad dialogue about getting what you want.

Alan Smithee - to publicly attack the movie, and then went on to sue the Guild over its decision (according to some, American History X was "the first great movie for which an Alan Smithee credit was asked"). After this, the Guild decided to choose a pseudonym for each case separately, rather than use Alan Smithee or some replacement all the time. The first example of such a post-Smithee pseudonym is the Thomas Lee credit for Walter Hill on Supernova from 2000. Films that credit Alan Smithee as director Fugitives Run The Coroner To Light the Darkness (really Vance Kotrla) Picture of Priority Dilemma Sub Down (really Gregg Champion) Le Zombi de Cap-Rouge Hellraiser: Bloodline (really Kevin Yagher) Smoke n Lightnin (really Michael Kirton) Raging Angels (1995) Bloodsucking Pharaohs in Pittsburgh (really Dean Tschetter).
Apocalypse Now - jungle, has turned to cannibalism and murder and is worshipped by the natives. The film features performances by Martin Sheen as Captain Willard (Marlow, in the novel), Marlon Brando as Col. Kurtz, and Dennis Hopper as the reporter (the harlequin). The film deviates extensively from the book, for example in that Captain Willard is not sent to investigate, but to kill, and that Col. Kurtz does not die a natural though mysterious death; also Marlow is sent here to Cambodia, not the land of the Congo River. Due to typhoons, nervous breakdowns, heart attacks, and a temperamental director, the film went grievously over budget and over schedule. The original version was severely edited, causing some of the symbolism to be lost; Coppola re-released the film in 2001 under the title Apocalypse.
