The year was a strange, liminal moment in cinema. The 90s were dead, Y2K hadn’t killed us, and Hollywood was figuring out what the new decade looked like. The result? An absolute gold rush of road trip movies.
The set pieces are legendary. The snake in the dorm room. The blind guy driving the car. The cow scene (you know the one). Tom Green steals the show as Barry, the chaotic wildcard. It’s gross, it’s inappropriate, and it holds up as a perfect snapshot of pre-9/11 optimism.
Most people forget this is a road trip movie. Written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie ( The Usual Suspects , Mission: Impossible ), The Way of the Gun follows two drifters (Ryan Phillippe and Benicio Del Toro) who kidnap a pregnant surrogate mother.
The soundtrack sold over 8 million copies. "Man of Constant Sorrow" will be stuck in your head for a week. 4. The Way of the Gun (The Dark Horse) The Vibe: Gritty, nihilistic, and sharp.
The Coen Brothers took Homer’s The Odyssey and threw it into the deep south during the Great Depression. It’s the strangest, most beautiful road trip movie of the year.
