Recommend me some road movies

Sabu

Poo stick
I've been on a bit of a road movie kick recently watching Transamerica, Sideways, Into the Wild, and Kikujiro. Kikujiro was my favourite out of the bunch but I liked them all. Name some more I can stick on my lovefilm list! :)
 
Road to Singapore
Road to Zanzibar
Road to Morocco
Road to Utopia
Road to Rio
Road to Bali
The Road to Hong Kong
 
Theres a really good Italian one where they go to Morrocco but I can't remember what it's called or who is in it :D

Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, and Dorothy Lamour. The Road to Morocco.

Not sure where the Italian bit came from. Maybe you saw a dubbed version.
 
I'm not sure how available they'd would be outside Canada, but see if you can find either of Bruce McDonald's great road pics: Roadkill or Highway 61. Quirky and funny, both of them.

Another one I like is David Lynch's The Straight Story, about a dying old fart's journey across Texas on a John Deere lawnmower.
 
Another good Italian one (that I can remember the name of!) is Ladri Di Bambini/Stolen Childen

It is very grim tho
 
Highway patrolman ( Sp ? ) Mexican movie directed by Alex Cox

unerringly bleak

The Leather boys - a right odd un of British vintage If you can track it down
 
Wim Wenders - Kings Of The Road (Im Lauf der Zeit)

It's got everything, check out the Plot Keywords from IMDB

Bombon El Perro isn't bad either.
Familia Rodante (haven't seen it, but have heard good things) is entirely about the road and more road I believe!
