4. Convoy
One of the coolest truck movies, if this genre even exists, is the 1978 flick, Convoy starring Kris Kristofferson and Ali McGraw. With a fantastic soundtrack, great storyline, good acting and intense action scenes, Convoy is everybody’s favorite movie. In fact, it is still popular 40 years after its release. So how did it ruin the car culture?
Well, if you watched it, you got the impression that truck driving is immense fun. Truckers get to run around empty highways, communicating with fellow truckers over CB radios and picking up cute hitchhikers. But in reality, it is none of that. In fact, truck driving is a hard and lonesome occupation. Truck drivers spend more time waiting for them to load their cargo and being stuck in traffic jams than actually driving.
