    Fun Road Trip Movies plus Friday Frivolity Link Party

    Jun 9, 2016 · 5 Comments

    With the summer travel season upon us, your Friday Frivolity hosts decided upon a "travel theme" this week.  Be sure to visit the other hosts sites too for some more travel fun. I decided to go with my favorite Road Trip Movies. Movies about road trips that are perfect to watch on road trips.

    Favorite Road Trip Movies - movies about road trips for your road trip

     

    It Happened One Night - 1934

    I searched quite a few lists to get inspired for this post and to my utter disdain, this classic was not on ANY of them. For shame! It is one of my all time favorite movies.

    Claudette Colbert plays a young heiress trying to escape her father in Florida and get to her new husband in New York and Clark Gable is a reporter desperate for a story that offers to help her get there in this delightful rom-com. It is a must see for the hitchhiking scene alone!

    Murder on the Orient Express - 1974

    It's no secret I love a good murder mystery and Agatha Christie is one of the best. In this star-studded adaptation of the novel, Albert Finney plays Hercule Poirot who is called upon to solve a murder on a train. Suspects include Lauren Bacall, Ingrid Bergman, Sean Connery, Anthony Perkins, Vanessa Redgrave, etc. etc.

    The Muppet Movie - 1979

    The movie that launched the Muppet franchise. Kermit travels across country picking up his Muppet friends on his way to Hollywood while being chased by a restauranteur that wants him to become a spokesfrog for his chain of frog leg restaurants. There are loads of celebrity cameos and so many catchy tunes. Rainbow Connection is currently stuck in my brain... and that's a very happy memory.

    The Cannonball Run - 1981

    This cheesy screwball comedy was a favorite in my mis-spent youth. According to IMDb, "This action-comedy was inspired by an actual event: the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash, an anything goes, all-stops-out - and very much illegal - competition"

    Another celebrity packed movie with icons such as Burt Reynolds, Roger Moore, Farrah Fawcett, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and a very young Jackie Chan in one of his first appearances in an American movie.

    Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey - 1993

    Based on a true story about two dogs and a cat that go on a journey to reunite with their owners. I am not usually a fan of remakes, but this one, with the voices of Don Ameche, Sally Field and Michael J Fox, leaves me in tears every single time...every... single...time.

    Spoiler alert: they make it home.

      Oh, I love Murder on the Orient Express (& Murder on the Nile!) and the Muppet Movie (which we watch quite often around here..."movin' right along...footloose & fancy free" & "a bear in his natural habitat..." Haven't seen Cannonball Run in years, but must watch it again soon. Never have seen It Happened One Night, but I have just written myself a note to watch it ASAP, because it sounds right up my alley! What a fun take on our theme!

        You will enjoy It Happened One Night based on what I know about your tastes in movies. Murder on the Nile was definitely fun too, but not quite as star studded as the Orient Express.

        I don't think I have read Murder on the Orient Express. I'll have to add it to my list for the next trip to the library.
