Never heard of that movie but it looks like its on YouTube for free, I think it will be my weekend movie. Basically if its an old movie about cars, primarily street racing it gets on the list.

My father used to read to me a lot. I can remember him reading The Flight of the Phoenix and To Kill A Mocking Bird to me. Good times. He took me to Shakespearian plays and classical music concerts. I'm still a redneck, just a well-educated redneck.

This was the 60's when you dressed up for social events.

I understand, and agree that people used to dress elegantly at proper occasions. People wear shorts, wife-beaters and flip flops to funerals. Humans are devolving into retarded animals with cellphones.

You have to not only BE a car guy to appreciate Two Lane but you also have to be old enough to have lived in that time.
I didn't. In 1972, I was 6 years old. Although I've been into cars since I could walk, you had to be of driving age to really get it.
Two Lane moves S-L-O-W. The actors are not particularly likeable. It feels like it was very low budget. Compared to the better acting and story that you see in Vanishing Point and Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, Two Lane was a POS. I have the special edition DVD but have yet to look beyond the movie itself. Whatever extras are in the bonus content are still a mystery to me.
The second half of the movie is borderline unwatchable. It is as boring as watching the grass grow.
I'm told that the movie is true to life for the era, that people acted like that and spoke that way.
Okay, maybe it wins points for authenticity but jeez, I was bored with it from the mid point to the end. Rarely do I encounter such a BOREHOLE of a movie like this one. Bullitt was equally dull aside from the chase scene. People that liked the movie would probably do well as a Maytag Repairman where nothing ever happens and they are okay with it.

More than likely those people who wear that to a funeral will tell you if asked that don’t own any decent clothes……and they probably don’t.
