Editing Guidelines

Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:

If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

Nothing about Bob Hope and Bing Crosby here! Rmhermen 02:22, Oct 11, 2004 (UTC)

Agree. I think the reference in Easy Rider was to the seven road pictures staring Crosby, Hope and (except for the last) Dorothy Lamour. See the Bing Crosby article. Andrewa 21:27, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Removed text:

A road movie is genre of movies for which the action is set on a road. The term itself appear with Easy Rider in 1969. It's to cinematography what were the adventures of Odysseus, the history of Jesus or Don Quixote to literacy.

This appears to be a POV. Even if generally accepted as true, it should IMO be attributed to an authority who supports it. Stub refactored, with POV removed and some information added. Andrewa 20:00, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I've put in another definition of the movie genre, hopefully less POV. Still mentions the Odyssey though. Kappa 11:41, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

1 Duel (film)
2 Road to...
3 Road trip
4 Rebel Groups?

[edit] Duel (film)

Would Steven Spielberg's Duel be considered a road movie? --80.219.167.57 01:19, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

I say Yes, Duel is a definate road movie. I also can't believe "Rainman" was not on the list. Surely this was one of the biggest road movies of all time. Davemeistermoab 05:18, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Road to...

I found a page on the Hope/Crosby Road to... movies, so I removed that list from this article. I have also cross-linked this article with road trip, and deleted some of the films used as examples since they are also listed there. Note that there is already a Category:Road movies, so please do not add any more films to this article. --Dennette 05:52, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Road trip

Because road movies (genre) is separate from a road trip (hobby/travel style), I have removed one of the cross links to road trip. Cascadia 03:32, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rebel Groups?

I don't think it's accurate or appropriate to describe "hippies, blacks, gays and lesbians, women, Asian Americans" as "rebel groups". I don't think the writer meant rebel groups, but I do not know what he did mean. Static Sleepstorm 16:13, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
