Letterboxd Showdown: Easy Rider

"When a pandemic puts paid to travel plans, at least we have road movies—including several new offerings, notably Chloé Zhao’s Nomadland and Harry Macqueen’s Supernova. What are your top ten films in which characters hit the road, and mostly stay there? Whether by RV, tricked-out van, motorbike, Star Rider, War Rig, ride-on mower or just the humble family wagon, it’s time to get on the road, enjoy the ride, and we’ll see you at the end of the tour."

Trying to focus on the ROAD aspect. Not movies about ship travel or space travel. Ground-based travel. I decided to allow foot travel as a legitimate form of transport, for example if one is following a yellow brick road.
