You forgot to say which film it was in was in the sentence! Ach! <br /><br />I have a real soft spot for The Trip, for whatever reason I really connected with it when I saw it and went back innumerable times to see it in the theatre always taking someone new with me, and occasionally a few repeaters who fell for it like me. I have a framed poster from the film signed by the cast that my sister surprised me with the Christmas after the film came out hanging in my hallway by my front door. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-76398517278548792742015-07-10T07:10:11.656-04:002015-07-10T07:10:11.656-04:00That's what I'm here for, lol.That's what I'm here for, lol.Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-78248124940184066062015-07-10T05:37:37.087-04:002015-07-10T05:37:37.087-04:00I'm hoping there will be a week where I can re...I'm hoping there will be a week where I can read your post and say 'OH, I've seen that one!', but until then, you just keep adding to my 'must watch' list, ha!<br />- AllieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10938589355281359827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-34521139392379363622015-07-09T22:11:30.336-04:002015-07-09T22:11:30.336-04:00Cool.

I...Great picks and a 70's flashback to boot! I've seen all three but none of them for quite some time. Bingo is my favorite of the trio and the Warriors is such a film of its time. Death Race 2000 isn't one I'd go running back to see but it might be time to revisit the other two.<br /><br />Like you I tried to find picks that are more obscure although my last one was a big hit at the time of release and is one of the best of the road trip genre I think. Here's my three:<br /><br />The Trip (2002)-The multi decade story of Alan and Tommy, soulmates that are drawn together and pulled apart by love, differing beliefs, fears, secrets and the machinations of others over the turbulent 70’s and 80’s. Low budget (some of the period wigs are beyond terrible), moving comedy/drama, with a better than average cast for something this small-one-time Bond girl Jill St. John is a hoot as Alan’s former showgirl mom, looks at the rise of the gay rights movement, the shame inflicted by Anita Bryant’s hate crusade and the beginnings of the AIDS crisis. The road trip in the film only comprises the final act of the picture but all that comes before is a lead up to that journey.<br /><br />The Daytrippers (1996)-A young suburban wife, Eliza (Hope Davis), discovers what seems to be a love note shortly after her husband Louis (Stanley Tucci) leaves for work one morning. Unsure what to do she turns to her mother (the recently departed Anne Meara) for advice who encourages her to drive into the city and get an explanation from her husband. So Eliza, both her parents, her sister and her sister's boyfriend (Parker Posey & Liev Schreiber) pile into the station wagon and hit the road to the city and so starts an odyssey as they travel from place to place trying to find him and discovering far more than they bargained for. Quirky and engaging.<br /><br />The Sure Thing (1985)-Walter “Gib” Gibson is a freshman at a Northern college whose sole desire over his Christmas break is to somehow get to his friend Lance’s college in L.A. where a “sure thing” awaits, a tan, blonde and very young Nicolette Sheridan. Short on cash he answers an ad to share the ride out West which is also being taken by Alison, a classmate who can’t stand him. Once they’re on the road many adventures and calamities come between him and his goal, among them show tune loving drivers, money troubles and unexpected feelings. Engaging comedy made a star out of John Cusack who is quite brilliant in the lead. <br />joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-47644042836151380312015-07-09T08:29:28.670-04:002015-07-09T08:29:28.670-04:00I haven't actually seen any of these.

I've heard a lot about The Warriors (it kinda sounds like it should have an Escape From New York kind of vibe) and Death Race 2000 (though more the Paul W.S. Anderson remake).
