Road Movie Roundup

[Mike Humsgreen]

OK so I'm doing a bit of a road movie binge. And I have to say it's limited to those of the American sort (the others may have roads in them but they don't count).

I'm trying to find the stuff mostly for free online, this website stagevu is giving me the most and due to copyright laws being short on movies everything before about 1986 seems up for grabs.

So the list begins with the easy ones:

Easy Rider

Vanishing Point

Gone in 60 seconds (1974)

The Car (1977)

Christine

The Duel

Ruckus in Madison County

Death Race 2000

Cannonball

Natural Born Killers

Convoy

To be honest I'm not sure if Christine really counts as a road movie as it's not about a journey or a chase. But if you can add anything to this list then I'm all ears as I'm running out of ideas.

You definitely need to check out Two Lane Blacktop.

And a film I haven't watched in a few years, Candy Mountain.

Ha, just watched Two Land Blacktop and was going to add it to the list. But Candy Mountain is going to be checked out. Thanks.

Thelma and Louise?

Smokey and the Bandit?

Jeepers Creepers?

Stephen King's Riding the Bullet?

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

the first Vacation movie

Road Trip

You already have all the other ones I could think of...

Also Roadkill (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098209/) is a great hybrid rock 'n' roll/road movie featuring Nash The Slash and an appearance by Joey Ramone.

And how could I have forgotten Leningrad Cowboys Go America?

[caryn lavender]

I totally forgot about Dirty Mary Crazy Larry...what about Mother, Jugs and Speed?

And....... Any list must include:

Henry: Portriat Of A Serial Killer

Wild At Heart

The Straight Story

Love & A 45

Kalifornia

Pow Wow Highway

Roadside Prophets

Stranger Than Paradise

Badlands

Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia

The Wild Ones

Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry is ticked. It also has the traditional road movie ending, death! It's one reason why the original Gone in 60 seconds is so good, you think the guys going to take the story to its logical conclusion and then he gets away with a stroke of luck. I'm tracking down the others :)
