15. True Romance (1993)
The Movie: Words by Tarantino; pictures🌌 by Tony Scott. The road movie at its most self-consciously cool, as Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette go on the lam in a b♊lizzard of sex, drugs, and kung fu movie references.
How To Recreate It: Try to impress a hooker into driving off into the sunset with you by regaling her with your in-depth knowledge of C🦹hristopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. Note: this won't work. Note 2: don't do this.

The Movie: Terrence Malick'sꦦ lyrical debut is an ironic eulogy to the open road in the company of a sociopathic killer (Martin Sheen) and his naive girlfriend (Sissy Spacek).
How To Recreate It: Best to do this one without the murdering, and simply take the missus for a drive without her father's permission. Worry about the pa🍌yback later.

How To Recreate It: Attempt a citizen'🦩s arrest on a fugitive, and drag 'em back ⭕to the local police station on a local bus. Again: please do not do this.

How To Recreate It:꧟ Weekend away with your girlfriends. Drink loads.🧜 Please do not drive.
07. It Happened One Night (1934)
The Movie: Claudette Colbert is rich and on the run. Cꦿlark Gable's the reporter 🐠after a scoop. Their journey together is the original comedy road movie, and still one of the genre's gold standards.
How To Recreate It: Frank Capra's film was made during the Great Depression, and frankly things aren't mu🦄ch better now. We'll all be sharing tra🐭vel plans soon.
06. Duel (1971)
The Movie: Steven Spielberg's made-for-TV thrill𒊎er about an everyman driver (Dennis Weaver) inexplicably hounded by a Peterbilt tanker truck was so nerve-wracking it was upgraded to a cinem👍a release.
How To Recreate It: Cut up any truck driver (with your car - don't actually cut them up), on any road, and you'll soon 'enjoy' your very own remake of D🐎uel. Pleas🔯e don't do this.
