Favorite Road Movie
I'd have to choose Planes, Trains, and Automobiles as one of my favorites movies about being "on the road". It encompasses a lot of varying elements that make it a notable film. Most of the plot focuses on the struggles in traveling with a complete and completely opposite stranger. The situations are shown fairly humorously throughout the movie, but move to a more poignant and somber tone, reflecting more of the serious aspects of all things that come with being away from home and interacting with others. I really love this movie.
