DVD: Road, Movie, and 11 Other Awesome Road Movies
Generations of filmmakers have learned that putting your characters in a car and unleashing them on the open highways of the world is a sure-fire formula for drama. With Indian import Road, Movie hitting DVD this week from New Video and the Tribeca Film Festival, it seemed like the perfect excuse to create a completely incomplete and thoroughly arbitrary list of our Favorite Road Pictures.
The following list doesn't include those Hope and Crosby Road movies (which were mostly shot on a studio backlot) or racing pictures like Two-Lane Blacktop or Thunder Road, but does include plenty of rest stops. So many road pictures, so little time.

Two things:
1) I would definitely put 2009's The Road on this list.
2) if you post a comment in the comment area of the slide show, it doesn't get picked up here in the regular comments section.
Re #2, we're aware of this and are trying to figure out a work-around. Long story. Thanks for your patience.
