Two-Lane Blacktop (1971)

Rating:  9.0

Comments:  One of the best car movies I've seen.  The '55 Chevy is probably the coolest and meanest car you'll find in any movie.  The lack of any tangible storyline seemed to make it better and bolster the overall mood.  Seeing James Taylor and Dennis Wilson in their only starring roles was a nice bonus.  I can't wait to see more of Monte Hellman's work.

  3. It was definitely one of the best movies I saw this year. There are a few other 9.0s from the last year or so, but I don't think they are posted here (yet). Here a few of them:

    Drive
    Limelight (documentary about club owner Peter Gatien)
    Chronicle
    The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (Swedish version - 2010)
    Dead Snow
