What are some trucking films that are worth seeing?
black dog
Big trouble in little china
Smokey and the bandit
Over the top
There were just a TON of these that came out in the 70s.
pic related is worth watching if only for Annie Potts back when she was smoking hot.
Fun as hell, in an overblown 70's kind of way. Gives a user-friendly intro to CB slang as well.
Convoy
fury road
One of the high points of the genre.
Possibly the most underrated film in the genre. Genuinely entertaining "loose cannon" story.

having family and friends thats truck drivers one well known rule is you NEVER EVER pick up lot lizards.
Chances are
>they're legitimately crazy
>they've got diseases and/or crabs
>they want to steal shit
>they've got a pimp or someshit waiting nearby to jump your ass or for her to unlock the truck and let em in.

Don't forget this bit of ultra-low-budget borderline-crap. There's a whole series of them, too. Only thing really redeeming about them is the cool looking trucks.

They're friends of the road.
There's a surprising amount of trucker themed porn out there.

I know I've seen at least one aside from these two.
The "Top Gun" of the genre. The most unintentionally homoerotic trucking film ever made.
finally a quality thread on /tv/

Over the top is considered every genre of movie. Based Cannon.
>>63827523
Only one worth mentioning t b h
>>63827523
Thats the movie where the truck is stuck on that fucking rope bridge for like an hour and a half, right?
I remember that movie being on ALL THE TIME as a little kid, but had seemingly vanished from existence in the following decades.
