    "The Wages of Fear" (1953). The best hands down.

    Convoy, I managed to get hold of Convoy recently and enjoyed every second of it. My wife didn't think it was funny. Smokey and the bandit is still fresh in the memory, after thirty years, I might add. Black Dog is also one that comes to mind. It still breaks my heart that they had to wreck a Brockway in Convoy.

    ####! You watch Trucking movies too?:biggrin_2556: It's all I can do to forget about Trucking when not in one. Although if they could film my nightmares about Trucking..It would make one HELL of a movie.:biggrin_2559:

    yes Sir. Just watching movies doesn't make you a trucker. It's an illness. Diesel in the veins can't be cured. Wife hates trucks but loves the $$$$. I'm infected but I looooove it.

    Just ran across "Big Rig" on netflix. Looks like a documentary. I have not been able to watch it yet. Has anyone seen this? Reviews make it sound like a good documentary.

    I come across a truck driver movie a couple days ago and did not see it, in the ongoing list above. I believe it's from across the pond an worth the watch. Sean Connery in his younger years and a few other known actors. I downloaded it on a torrent, You might find it on Hulu or youtube.

    1957 Hell Drivers

    They Drive By Night (1940) is another good movie I downloaded and watched tonight. I always like old noir movies and this one is a must see for the old hands. :yes2557:
