Favorite Road Film

For myself, it is hard to pick a 'one true' favorite road film, not only because the movie selection is difficult to narrow down, but i just have not viewed many 'road films,' however, it is a close tie between TransAmerica and Little Miss Sunshine. It is hard to pick one over the other, for myself, since both have amazing scripts, powerful, overall plot, and dramatic opening of the storyline. TransAmerica offers a unique plot dabbed with witty humor and a glimpse into a life that not many are familiar with. On the same note, Little Miss Sunshine meshes two contrasting genres (drama, comedy) to unravel what everyone is familiar with; dysfunctional family. Both movies offer start to finish amusements, questions of life, and the result of having varied personalities clash in the tight confinements of a car. It is hard not to relate, laugh at, and enjoy what both movies have to offer, and again, for myself, hard to pick one over the other.
