Contest: ENTER Avatar contest: The Open Road

[Starkers]

First off thanks for everyone who voted for Bogey in the last contest.

Now onto the new contest. The theme is road movies. Films or episodes of TV shows that feature a substantial portion of the run time dedicated to a long distance trip by road. Car, bus, motorcycle, tank...it doesn't matter so long as there's clearly a road trip. It doesn't have to fill the whole run time, but we're not talking a drive to the corner store either.

Sci-fi/fantasy/horror allowed (if only because I know there's a few horror related movies that'd count)

Usual AV rules apply 200x200 pixels etc. I'll aim to get a poll up Monday or Tuesday.

Gentlemen and ladies, start your engines...

From Cas & Dylan featuring Tatiana Maslany and Richard Dreyfuss.

A dying Doctor, who plans to check out on his own terms, takes a reluctant detour when he inadvertently winds up on the lam with an 'anything-but-normal' 22-year-old girl.

This is the first one that came to mind...

- The Road

Yes, my thought processes really are that simple...

(Um, I guess I'm assuming that *walking* on the road is OK?)

Easy Rider (1969)

Well it's clearly a road movie, and they do have a shopping cart at times...I think it qualifies.

I have two,from the same show: Supernatural. Sam & Dean cross the road in the Impala, and practically live in it. So, here's one from the episode, "Baby" which was told from the point of view of the car.

But, if you want one of them actually moving, I have this one--the final scene of the episode "Fan Fiction," that has them driving down 'the road so far.'

They don't have to be moving so the first one is fine.

Great entries so far. I'll aim to get a poll up in the next 24 hours or so, so last call!

Other possible entries:

The Hulk walking down the road alone from the old Hulk TV series.

The "CHiPs" riding their motorcycles along the highways.

 

[scotpens]

The Bob Hope-Bing Crosby "Road" movies all had "road" in their titles, but did any of them actually feature a long road trip as a main plot element? (Just askin'.)

Here's mine, the incomparable Sammy Davis Jr in The Cannonball Run. Doing the poll now. I still can't see pl1ngpl0ng or XCV330's entries I'm afraid so will have to poll without them.
