Just watched Chef, starring John Favreau. It features a road trip from Miami to Los Angeles. In a food truck.

Found some of the plot points to be a bit weak, but a decent watch nonetheless.

Why has nobody mentioned Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas yet?

Vacation!!!!

Pretty hard to top this one, Kitty. No idea how many times I have watched this movie!

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World!

A classic, Farro.

An oldie for sure...Way Out West---Laurel and Hardy If you've never seen a L&H movie, give yourself a treat, find one and watch. I'm sure most are on YouTube.

 

[Praying Colonel]

I would argue--the most underrated comedy of the 1980s: Midnight Run with Charles Grodin and Robert DeNiro:

The Wizard

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World!

Ethel Merman is the best!! SYLVESTER!!!! Such a great film and the cast is a who's who of movie stars of the time. Who ISN'T in that movie??

My personal favorite is the original Vacation - I watch it every time it's on.

more of a road trip movie for young men tyring to figure it all out and Alan Silvestri music score....and if you don't know who Alan Silvestri is...then his most famous movie score is perhaps not a road trip movie....it is not listed so far.

Fandango is a 1985 American comedy film directed by Kevin Reynolds. It was originally a student film titled Proof made by Reynolds while he was attending USC film school. It was a parody of Greek life at his alma mater Baylor University. However, due to his father's presidency at Baylor, he did not wish to portray the Baptist institution in an unfavorable light and gave it the alternative distinction as the University of Texas. The movie is now a cult classic.[2][3]

Steven Spielberg saw the film and helped fund a feature-length comedy/drama about five college students from Texas in 1971 who go on a "last road trip" together, celebrating the "privilege of youth" as they face graduation, marriage and the draft for the Vietnam War.[4]

Underrated movie. I should note that Cleese is phoning it in, but he's somehow still quite funny.
