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.

BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA
When a wealthy Mexican crime lord places a million-dollar bounty on a man who impregnated his daughter, two hit men hire American piano player Bennie (Warren Oates) to find information. Bennie acts on a tip from his girlfriend and the couple sets off across Mexico to hunt the bounty for themselves.

Dir. Sam Peckinpah, USA, 1974, 112min, R, 35mm

RACE WITH THE DEVIL
Peter Fonda, Lara Parker, Warren Oates and Loretta Swit star as vacationers headed to Colorado in a deluxe recreational vehicle. When they stop for the night, they inadvertently witness a satanic sacrifice and become the targets of a devil-worshipping cult! A lesser-known and underrated gem.

Dir. Jack Starrett, USA, 1975, 88min, PG, 35mm
