Vanishing Point still holds up for me. - kanesays 22:30:26 01/21/05 (0)
The film has such a 1970s feel to it (the drug references, the soundtrack, Clevon Little's character and the racist attack) and that's the reason I love it. Plus, if you're a car nut, you've gotta love the white Dodge Challenger R/T.
Beautiful shot of Kowalski's ride.

Antonioni's "Zabriskie Point" holds up better - grinagog 06:05:21 01/20/05 (1)
as the Great Existential Road movie
Granted, Daria Halprin's Buick Sedanette isn't as sexy as Barry Newmans Dodge Challenger, or as fast
But Mark Frechette has a 'plane that will out-cool any car; the Zabriskie Point Soundtrack has Pink Floyd and Mark Frechette was being billed as the next James Dean back in the day

  I thought that was a terrible movie even in the context of the 1960s which was the only time I have seen it. Clearly, at least, his worst movie. It might be a trip to see it again, however, thirty- five years on.
