Exploitation films

Stunt Rock

No plot. A stuntman and a prog band. Exists purely so Grant Page can work.

Race with the Devil

Satanists chase a Winnebago across Texas. Better than that sounds.

White Line Fever

Trucker versus the cartel. Earnest, blue-collar, better than expected.

Dirty Mary Crazy Larry

Ninety minutes of driving and one of cinema's great abrupt endings.

Road Games

Rear Window in a truck, with Stacy Keach and Jamie Lee Curtis.

The Cars That Ate Paris

Peter Weir's debut. A town that farms car crashes. Very strange.

White Lightning

Burt Reynolds, moonshine, and the blueprint for a decade of Southern comedy.

Gone in 60 Seconds

93 cars destroyed for real. The director broke his own ankles. Worth it.

Two-Lane Blacktop

Almost no dialogue, almost no plot, and completely hypnotic.

Vanishing Point

A white Challenger, amphetamines, and an existential crisis at speed.

Death Race 2000

Corman satire with actual teeth. Stallone before anyone knew.

Mad Max 2

The template the whole Italian post-nuke cycle copied for a decade.

Mad Max

Made for nothing on public roads. You can feel every dollar missing.
