SUSAN SARANDON (Actress): (As Louise Elizabeth Sawyer) Thelma, you know how I feel about Texas.

GEENA DAVIS (Actress): (As Thelma Yvonne Dickinson) You want to go to Mexico from Oklahoma, but you don't want to go through Texas?

I think that the road's involved in that, someway, but when you mentioned Thelma and Louise you're really talking about one of the iconic road movies.ĬONAN: And I'm glad you defined the other one as the quest movie, because Thelma and Louise had a lot going for it but let's not think of it as a quest movie. He goes on this vision quest to find enlightenment, right. HORWITZ: This is actually from the late ‘80s. It's - I think it was made in the ‘70s and it's a Native American film about two gentleman on the road, but it's almost a questy kind of thing where one of them - Gary Farmer is one of the actors who… HORWITZ: Well, tell me a little bit about Powwow Highway, Rachel. But I narrowed it down to Powwow Highway and also Thelma and Louise. Well, I narrowed it down to two, but I think one might be considered a quest, so I'm not sure if it's going to count. Rachel's with us from Anchorage in Alaska. So let's get some listeners involved in this conversation. So I'm liberal enough to include other vehicles.ĬONAN: All right. But a lot of the conventions are - you know, like having dinner inside while somebody's stealing your vehicle outside, the romance, all that. And also, probably my favorite of favorites that really started the formula in many ways, as he did with many filmmaking innovations, is Buster Keaton's The General, which is a railroad movie. HORWITZ: Well, that's a very good question. Does it count - do there have to be cars? I mean is Red River a road movie? So that the Lord of the Rings and…ĬONAN: Well, let me ask another question, though. There are reasons for that, but we're not talking about quest movies here. So we're talking - it's a very broad category. The road kind of took on these characteristics. A book that I haven't read but I understand has something to recommend it, Moby Dick where the sea is quite something.

If you think of the water roads that appear in Huckleberry Finn, where the river's a character. So like movies and the road kind of grew up together and it's part of an American literary tradition where the road is really a character. Movies and cars and, not surprisingly, good paved roads started at roughly the same time in America, Neal. But the truth of the matter is these - definitions are good. HORWITZ: Well, believe me it is not the home video of when we took the kids to Sea World.

We've got lots of movies with driving scenes. Let's get through all of these right now.
