Road Trips - Fergenaprido's iCM Forum List
Road trips, journey films, and the like. No hard and fast rule, but I'm loosely following Carmel's definition: "modes of transportation where the journey they enable for an ensemble set of characters, is intrinsic to the dynamics and succession of the film, contributing to the particular atmospheres created by that mode of transportation and the growth of the characters which are moving, journeying, tripping, away from their respective 'everyday lives'."
