Road Movie

"Bye-bye, boys!"
"Have fun storming the castle!"
-The Princess Bride (1987)

Where the journey is the thing, whether there's a literal road involved or not.

Carol's pick: Stand by Me (1986) - "You guys wanna go see a dead body?" Based on a Stephen King novella.



Carol's other pick: Joe Versus the Volcano (1990) - Adventure, self-discovery, true love, and the importance of good luggage. The first of three Tom Hanks-Meg Ryan pairings.
