If Hell or High Water and Stagecoach are road movies, I am revising my list!

I haven't see Stagecoach, but I'm not sure if that works because it's a western.

I don't know if I really consider Hell or High Water a road movie.

Well I think I'll let it slide since enough people are in agreement that it's a road movie.

Yeah it's kind of right there for me. Completely forgot to put the highly underrated 3000 Miles to Graceland on my list so I'm going to have to revise it. Never understood why this movie isn't better received.

So because a movie crosses into another genre, then it's suddenly questionable?
They travel along a road/path the entire movie while trying to get to their destination. I don't see why it shouldn't count, but I guess that is up to you.

Well I haven't seen it, but from you describing it I guess it fits the genre. Though when you get to that point people could start predicting things like The Searchers.

Didn't think there was enough "road" or driving in it to count, but it is a journey of sorts. If it's allowable, I'll probably add it to mine too.
