ROAD MOVIES of the 70s and 80s

The great American highway is a vast stretch of endless skies and wondrous beauty. However, the great American road movies of the 70s and 80s would have you believe that, out there among the muscle cars and lost weekends, a darker undercurrent might send you face to face with grizzled drifters and hit men, evil big rigs, vampires and satanists, all possibly with a serious case of road rage. But hey, that's just the movies. If you can't hit the road this summer, you can save the ga$ and park your rear at the Belcourt throughout August and on into Labor Day.

All films are presented in 35mm with showtimes TBA unless indicated below.

THE HITCHER
Never pick up strangers: That's a lesson Jim Halsey (C. Thomas Howell) will wish he'd learned. While driving from Chicago to San Diego, he picks up hitchhiker John Ryder (a terrifically intense Rutger Hauer) but regrets it when he begins to suspect Ryder may be a serial killer. Before Halsey can say, "Get out of my car," Ryder kills again -- and frames him for the murders. With the odds against him, Jim's only ally is truck-stop waitress Nash (Jennifer Jason Leigh).
Dir. Robert Harmon, USA, 1986, 90min, R, 35mm
