Top 10 Movie Journeys of all time
 

I'm creating a map of movie journeys and road trips.
https://maps.google.com/gallery/details?id=z4f-ZuCLmiKg.k7Ia1GVbzf4Q&hl=en

What are your top 10 journeys in film?
Did I miss your favorite journey or road trip in the map? My goal is to grow this map to have *all* famous journeys.

The trip Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis take in THELMA AND LOUISE

John Cusack and Daphne Zuniga's trip in THE SURE THING

The Griswald family's trip to Wally World in NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION

Kevin Costner's trip with his young hostage in A PERFECT WORLD

Breckin Meyer, Seann William Scott, Paulo Constanzo, and DJ Qualls' trip in ROAD TRIP

Robin Wright and Cary Elwes' journey in THE PRINCESS BRIDE

Tim Robbins' escape in THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION

Jim Carrey's final escape in THE TRUMAN SHOW

Goldie Hawn and William Atherton's journey to get their son in THE SUGARLAND EXPRESS

The entre flight in AIR FORCE ONE


Great subject for a thread BTW, good luck with your project.

The best journey in film is Captain Williard's journey down the river to find Captain Kurtz in Apocalypse Now.Nothing else even comes close.

Sam Neill's journey in circles In the Mouth of Madness

Re: Top 10 Movie Journeys of all time
 

Lucas already said Apocalypse Now, and you have Indiana Jones on the list so I will go for a physical journey Judah Ben-Hur's journey in Ben-Hur. I am also partial to Travis Bickle's journey into madness and various drives around New York City in Taxi Driver.


Also for Forest Gump's part of the map you forgot his trip to Vietnam and ping pong with the Chinese. :)

Hey don't forget Stalker and journey to the Zone!
My favorite must be Apocalypse Now though.

Get Him To The Greek?

Re: Top 10 Movie Journeys of all time
 

Aguirre's "descent" into "madness" has to be one of the most artificial and unconvincing depictions of madness I've ever seen in all of cinema.

Re: Top 10 Movie Journeys of all time
 

I can think of two off hand... Smokey and the Bandit (the quest for beer)


Star Trek III: The Search For Spock

Re: Top 10 Movie Journeys of all time
