Two-Lane Blacktop (1971)

CONVEYOR BELT BOOKS pick for September is TWO-LANE BLACKTOP (1971) - before its release, billed as the next counterculture hit in the same league as EASY RIDER- join us at the ESQUIRE on Thursday, September 18th and decide for yourself with this often forgotten classic! About the Film: In this cult favorite road film, a mechanic (Dennis Wilson) and a driver (James Taylor) live only to race and maintain their 1955 Chevy. Heading east from California with no particular agenda, they give a girl (Laurie Bird) a ride, and en route she incites jealousy between the men by sleeping with them both. Meanwhile, the trio encounters an overbearing GTO driver (Warren Oates) who agrees to race them to New York, each side putting at stake their most prized possession: their car. Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with a 92%- the Critics Consensus: "Beautifully directed and utterly unique, Two-Lane Blacktop captures the spirit of its era as smoothly as it evokes the feeling of the open road."DramaPT1H42MR2025-09-18
