I was just invited to a screening of the classic film Easy Rider on the big screen, and it got me thinking about Hollywood's ever-present love of cars, motorcycles and the open road in films. From Disney's Cars franchise and the Fast and the Furious series to classics like Bullitt and American Graffiti, from Thelma and Louise to Vanishing Point, we can't seem to get enough of stories revolving around getting behind the wheel and on the road.
I even have been working on development of two indie on-wheels films, one around trucks and one based around a motorcycle shop.
So, while endless options of indies and studio blockbusters alike abound, which, in your mind, is the ultimate car/bike/road movie?
