John Doe’s 27 Favourite Road Trip Movies.
On the Road Again with JD's Favourite Journeys.
Two Lane Blacktop - One of the best on the road.
Production on Francis Ford Coppolla’s upcoming adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s seminal beat generation novel The Road is scheduled to begin later this year. The casting is now falling into place with Viggo Mortensen, Sam Riley, Amy Adams, Kristen Stewart and Kirsten Dunst all signed on.
Using it as an excuse, John Doe thought it was a good time to share some of his favourite road trip movies. Coming in all different shades, some offer existential introversion, others thrill and naturally there can be laughs had as participants discover their country and themselves.
Note - Divided into categories but without rank.
