„Head“ ist ein satirischer musikalischer Abenteuerfilm von 1968 unter der Regie von Bob Rafelson, der auch das Drehbuch zusammen mit Jack Nicholson und The Monkees (Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork) schrieb.

HEAD zeigt die Monkees in ihrem einzigen Filmauftritt und bietet denselben schrägen Humor und dieselben Musiknummern, die die Serie zu einem Klassiker gemacht haben. Zu den Nebendarstellern gehören Annette Funicello (als Minnie), Frank Zappa, Victor Mature und, in einer kleinen Rolle, Teri Garr.
