Favorite Road Film
My favorite road film is To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar. Since I haven't seen many movies that can be classified as "road films", it wasn't too hard to make a choice. The movie is about three drag queens, who are played by Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo, that get stranded in a small town when their car breaks down while they are on a road trip. The actors, who are used to portraying tough guys in many of their other films adapt to the roles of drag queens so well that you forget who they really are. Following the classic theme of a story with a happy ending, the characters descend upon this town and immediately start to shake things up and change the ways in which the townspeople view the world and each other. It's an enjoyable film that is fun to watch, with not too many underlying themes to decipher.
