Movies about road trips

[NFLDERS]

Mental health experts here are advising the viewing of movies about road trips are helpful at this time. We have seen Easy Rider, Thelma & Louise, they recommended Nebraska, but it's not available ie Netfix here.


Any recent reommendations would be appreciated.

Any movies I can think of that Bernando Bertolucci directed. He had a strong regard for cinematography.
I really want to see "The Last Emperor" again. Same for John Ford.

And Rat Race too.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles is another, though perhaps not strictly a road trip film.

There are others, like Duel and Mad Max types, which are far from soothing, scenic type movies, if that was the original intent of the recommendation.

Thanks all. The one movie that the Mental Health experts used as an example was Bonnie & Clyde, so I assume a movie's end result isn't as important as was the journey.

It might be helpful to say where/if the movie is available for streaming.

‘Kodachrome’ on Netflix

 

[Deb & Bill]

Summer Rental is partly road trip, but mostly vacation trip.

The Straight Story is currently on Disney+. A man uses his riding lawnmower to take a trip to visit his brother. This is an amazing film and a rather surprising one from David Lynch. It’s stars Richard Farnsworth and Sissy Spacek. One of my all-time faves
