Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

Ok, I wanna add Vacation to my list. Actually and Lost Highway wasn't toooo bad either so I'll throw that in as well.

I almost got Vanishing Point a few months back. Looked like a fairly entertaining film. Maybe sometime in the future I will.

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

Does Sideways count? if so, that'll be my pick.

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?

And picking out five of my very favorites from my list...

http://www.wim-wenders.com/movies/mo...ristexas/0.jpg http://film.onet.pl/_i/film/p/papierowy_ksiezyc/d.jpg

Paris, Texas (1984)
Wim Wenders' beautiful movie about the purgatories we put ourselves in and the possibilty of redemption for those in our wake. Harry Dean Stanton is so quietly perfect as the sad, dusty wanderer. The payoff scene between him and Nastassja Kinski in the cathouse is one of my all-time favorite moments in cinema.

Lost in America (1985)
Albert Brooks' masterpiece subversion of the American Dream, gah-damn hysterical too. Turning their backs on the fast-track of suburbia and hitting the road to find themselves, our married couple learns even dropping out isn't as easy as it used to be. "Have you seen Easy Rider? Well you should, it's historic." And remember, avoid Vegas completely.

The Hitcher (1986)
The best coming-of-age, action-filled, horror thriller, seemingly-supernatural psychopath on the rampage road movie ever made. Bar none. And this may be the definitive Rutger Hauer role (yes, even more than Roy Batty). Kids, this is why your momma always told you never to pick up hitch-hikers. Lots of fun to watch, though. A stylish nightmare on a desert road. And the first person to mention the re-make I chain between two trucks and let out the clutch.

The Passenger (1975)
My favorite Antonioni film and my favorite Nicholson performance, a perfect and hauntingly beautiful Existential statement. A still, dusty hallucinatory journey to the center of identity and self. There, but not back again.

Paper Moon (1973)
A subtle, beautifully-crafted character piece, set in the dust bowl of The Depression, following a low-rent con man and his unlikely companion who turns out to be a natural. Flawless performances by all, absolutely charming, filmed in beautiful black and white.


All different, all wonderful.

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

****, just watched The Passenger, too. Loved it. I need to get another couple of viewings under my belt to fully appreciate it, tho.

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

North by Northwest. A road movie?

He does drive a car....yes.

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

Nope, Roger O Thornhill does not really drive a car (except for the scene where they pour his drunken ass into Laura's Mercedes in an attempt to kill him). But on his journey from Manhattan to Rapid City, South Dakota he does not get behind the wheel of an automobile. Correct!

Now, do you think we're talking about car movies or road movies?

http://www.moviemaker.com/hop/issues...directing2.jpg http://www.sensesofcinema.com/images..._for_glory.jpg

The main characters also don't drive cars in lots of other flicks on my list such as Easy Rider (motorcycles), Scarecrow (walk/hitchhike), Lost in America (RV), Little Miss Sunshine (van), The Last Detail (train), Bound for Glory (walk/hop trains), Six-String Samurai (walk), Electra Glide in Blue (motorcycle), Wages of Fear (cargo trucks), The Electric Horseman (horse/walk), The Straight Story (lawnmower), About Schmidt (RV), O Brother, Where Art Thou? (walk/hitchhike) and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (RV).

But thanks for noticing!

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

Straight Story is an interesting choice that I wouldn't have thought of but fits perfectly.

For me it's Men With Guns (1997 - Sayles)

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

Yeah, I forgot that one on my list but it's probably my favorite of all Sayles' movies...and I like all of them.

And I just remembered another favorite from more recent years: Kheili Dour, Kheili Nazdik - So Close, So Far (2006 - Seyyed Reza Mir-Karimi), an Iranian piece I saw at the Portland International Film Festival last year. Too bad it'll probably never be released on DVD in the States.

And another of my favorite movies from last year I forgot to put on the list: Qian li zou Dan Qi - Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles (2006 - Yimou Zhang). Beautiful movie starring the great Ken Takakura as an estranged father going on a long journey to remote sections of China in hopes of reconnecting with his dying son.

http://images.rottentomatoes.com/ima...o_13_thumb.jpg http://www.leedsfilm.com/11/mongolian375.jpg

And speaking of remote China, I also enjoyed Lü cao Di - Mongolian Ping Pong (2006 - Hao Ning). It's no masterpiece but definitely worth seeing.

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

Ok. So he doesn't drive a car in North by Northwest.

But it still isn't a road movie. Or a car movie.

Why is it in your list? ^^ Just wondering.

I was remembering Cary Grant driving a car in to catch a thief. Doh!

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

Of course North by Northwest is a road movie. Just wondering, what makes you think it doesn't qualify?

Now read the book...
 

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...mL._AA240_.jpg http://www.cinemacom.com/ssTopFilms/bfi-logo.gif

I see the BFI has a guide devoted to the subject: 100 Road Movies (ISBN 9781844571604). It's already been released in the UK, though it doesn't hit American bookshelves until this August.

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

and just for kicks, Smokey & the Bandit & Convoy.

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

In July staring Moritz Bluetbieu and Y Tu Mama Tambien with Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna, both amazing Road films for me.

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

I loved this movie too....much better than Zhang's other film The Curse of the Golden Flower. I know they're completely different...but I prefer the quiet character study, when you can get into the journey and feel something for that person, rather than watching an over-blown spectical.

I haven't seen Mongolian Ping Pong yet. I had it in my hand a few times, but ended up putting it back, for whatever reason. I'll look out for it again.

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

My top favorites...
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963)
It Happened One Night (1934)
Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987)
French Kiss (1995)
Lost in America (1985)

I also liked...
Genevieve (1953)
If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium (1969)
The Dream Team (1989)
Bubble Boy (2001)...I know it’s a crap movie...but it still tickles me. :D


And...these might not be considered a ‘road movie’, but they have an important road trip in the movie.

Bread and Tulips(Pane e tulipani) (2000)...the road trip in the beginning sets up the story/journey.

Autumn Spring (Babí léto) (2001)...the road trip at the end made the movie for me. Very sweet.

One more movie film....NICE!
 

And of course...

BORAT: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit
Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006 - Larry Charles)

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

I loved Easy Rider and Natural Born Killers, but my favourite would be 'Central Station', a really beautifull foreign film well worth a watch.

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

Oooo yes ^^^^ I loved Central Station I think I'll watch that movie soon, a beautiful Brazillian film and Road movie indeed, truely a movie that deserves to be watched once by everyone. Another road film I forgot to mention that I enjoyed was The Motorcycle Diaries.

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

With the price of gasoline rising higher and higher here in the U.S., it's probably a good Summer to stay close to home and watch a road movie or three instead of living one.

Any such undertaking is going to have its omissions and head scratchers, and for my taste he's gone too far in looking for international examples at the expense of some truly seminal works. Not that Oscar-winning Best Pictures It Happened One Night (1934) and Rain Man (1988) need a lot of help to raise their profiles, but not including them to me is like a list of the one hundred greatest home run hitters Major League Baseball has ever seen and not including Babe Ruth and Reggie Jackson - it just makes you sound silly. A few more from my list on the previous page I'm a little shocked didn't make it are Paris, Texas (1984), A Perfect World (1993), Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) and Bound for Glory (1976). But on the other hand, from the book's list I'm embarrassed I forgot Bergman's Wild Strawberries and most glaringly for me Aki Kaurismäki's wonderful Leningrad Cowboys Go America which introduced me to that great Finnish filmmaker. But how, say, The Cannonball Run is chosen over Smokey & the Bandit puzzles me, and I wish the lesser-known but personal favorites of Scarecrow (1973), Highway 61 (1991) and The Music of Chance (1993) had been highlighted in the BFI book. I guess I'll have to highlight them myself.

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

When I first spotted this topic, I thought maybe some one was going to discuss all of those Hope-Crosby films, but then I came back down to reality! :) I was glad to see Pike listed The Straight Story and Two for the Road, two of my personal favorites. And I don't know what to say to someone who would exclude North by Northwest from the list, especially considering the distance traveled and the many modes of transportation used--car, taxi, train, airplane. For that matter, Forrest Gump covered a lot of territory and a bunch of it on foot as a jogger. As for Hope and Crosby, I don't know how many of those Road pictures they made together, but they come close to being the original "roadies."

One of my personal favorites is the original Of Mice and Men about two men on the road who make a brief pause at this farm. I don't remember everything on Pike's list, so he may have listed The Wild One, too. Like M&M, the story of a pause in a trip. High Sierra and its two remakes are essentially road stories.

What about road pictures before there were roads? Would The Way West, The Last Wagon, Westward the Women, Union Pacific, How the West Was Won, and Pony Express count?

Oh, one I just remembered that I don't think has been listed--Bus Stop.

Can you have road pictures that are not on land? Like Moby Dick, Wake of the Red Witch, The World in his Arms, and Plymouth Adventure?

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

Does Rain Man count?

Little Miss Sunshine was good.

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

Some of my favorite movies that revolve around the road:

Easy Rider
Two-Lane Black Top
Some Like it Hot

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

I like to watch scary movies while I'm on the road that have something to do with traveling.
Rest Stop
Vacancy
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (remake)
The Hills Have Eyes
Hitcher
Hostel

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

Really really pleased Butterfly Kiss got a mention along side The Straight Story, Y Tu Mama Tambien & Thelma & Louise... Is TransAmerica... not a road movie?

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:...kiss-still.jpg http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:...1.LZZZZZZZ.jpg http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:...6/a6127e45.jpg http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:...antanamo_1.jpg http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:...41670edda2.jpg

I like Butterfly Kiss a lot too, though if forced to pick just one Road Movie from Michael Winterbottom I'd go with In This World. Luckily I'm not forced to make such a choice. I think Witterbottom is a very underrated filmmaker. Perhaps his working in so many different genres without a single overwhelming narrative or visual style is keeping him from becoming better known? It's possible even if somebody has seen a few of his movies that they simply haven't realized the same fella is responsible for The Claim, 24 Hour Party People, Code 46, Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story, Wonderland, Jude, A Mighty Heart, In This World and Butterfly Kiss.


It most definitely is. I have it on my list on the previous page. In terms of the BFI Screen Guide book, it was published in early 2007 but probably compiled and turned in to the publisher back in 2006 sometime. Transamerica premiered in the U.K. in October of 2005 at the London Film Festival, but didn't get a regular U.K. release until March of 2006, so it's possible the man who compiled the list hadn't even seen it yet.

That's one problem with publishing a book on such a subject, that as soon as you've gone to press and made it to the bookshelves there are already other newer movies to choose from. Three movies released in 2005 made the British Film Institute's guide, Jarmusch's Broken Flowers, Zhang Yimou's Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles and the Aussie horror flick Wolf Creek, but nothing later than that, though he does mention 2006's Little Miss Sunshine in his introduction.

But yeah, Transamerica is a good one, too. My review for it on this site can be found HERE.

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

I'm going to list one that hasn't been mentioned...

http://www.ldsfilm.com/pm/Beavis.jpg

Beavis and Butt-Head Do America (Mike Judge, 1996)

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

A few more of my favorites...

http://jurgenfauth.com/wp-content/up...0605165646.jpg
Leningrad Cowboys Go America (1989)

Aki Kaurismäki's international breakthrough, kind of a mix between The Blues Brothers, This Is Spinal Tap and Stroszek by way of Jim Jarmusch (Jarmusch has a cameo as the NYC used car salesman), this weird and wonderful story of a misfit band making its way across America is a hoot, played to deadpan perfection by the Finnish Kaurismäki and his cast of aerodynamically coifed, elfen-booted, sunglass-wearing stonefaced musicians and their relentlessly cruel manager (Matti Pellonpää). Huge laughs from things as simple as a bag of onions and a backseat full of beer cans, and the music is fun too.


http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/i...carecrow_l.jpg
Scarecrow (1973)

A pair if drifters meet on the road in the middle of nowhere and throw in together. Max (Gene Hackman) is a tough man with a temper as likely to pick a fight as to breathe who is always falling in and out of jail, and Francis (Al Pacino) has just gotten out of the Merchant Marines but is a gentle soul who'd rather leave 'em laughing than bleeding. As they travel through the middle of America they form some kind of friendship and Max decides to let Francis in on his dream to open up a car wash in Pittsburgh. Ups and downs along the road, and a stop in Detroit to find Francis' wife and kid reveals which is the truly broken man.


http://videodetective.com/photos/109/004613_24.jpg http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:.../mg/204383.jpg
The Music of Chance (1993)

Very good and faithful adaptation of Paul Auster's novel of the same name, not a whole lot of traveling in this one but only because the road kind of dead ends into a prison of fate. Jim Nashe (Mandy Patinkin) is peacefully driving the backroads when he comes upon a beaten man stumbling on the shoulder. The man is Jack Pozzi (James Spader), a professional gambler by trade, who tells a tale of a game gone wrong which has left him broke and bloody. The bloody part he'll get over, but the broke part is unfortunate as he was headed toward another private game that he feels is a sure thing, easy money. Nashe has a sad backstory, but what it comes down to is he's almost out of cash and is willing to give the few thousand he has left as Jack's stake in the game, splitting the profits 50/50. Only there's no such thing as a sure thing and the two men find themselves in an odd situation forced to work off their debt. Really unusual flick, very well done by all involved.

Re: What Are Your Favorite Road Movies?
 

You didn't mention 9 Songs... what did you think of it? Not great but I actually enjoyed it. It was simple (if not some what boring in places) but I really really enjoyed the simple idea; boy meets girl; boy & girl ****, boy and girl go to gigs, boy and girl break up. I also have some very found memories of seeing gigs at the Brixton Academy so I liked it because of that too. I think the sex turned a lot of people off.

The Road to Guantanamo is on my too see list…

I'm surprised no one has mentioned The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Sure it's primarily an epic fantasy, but I think it definitely fits this topic as well.
