In general, road movies are a genre of movies in which the action takes places during a road journey. Notable examples include Easy Rider,Thelma and Louise and Y tu mamá también. They have their roots in classic works like Homer's Odyssey.
The Road movies are also a series of seven classic comedy motion pictures starring Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and (except for the last) Dorothy Lamour.
- Road to Singapore (1940).
- Road to Zanzibar (1941).
- Road to Morocco (1942).
- Road to Utopia (1946).
- Road to Rio (1948).
- Road to Bali (1952).
- Road to Hong Kong (1962) (minus Dorothy Lamour).
In each, the main action takes place on the road or route of the title, or partly en route and partly at the destination.
References to the genre include a comment by Wyatt in the Easy Rider, who complains that his life is like being in a road movie, and also the song, "Road Movie to Berlin", by They Might Be Giants.
