Added films[edit]

I've added a few films that ~~either~~ originate from a non-U.S. country, and U.S. films that are culturally significant:

Non-U.S.:

Knockin' on Heaven's Door (Germany, 1997)
The Parade (Serbia, 2011)
Come as You Are (Belgium, 2011)
Mourning (Iran, 2011)
Eyjafjallajökull (France, 2013)
Loev (India, 2015)
Ameerika Suvi (Estonia, 2016)

U.S.:

The table in the article still contains some films that are not exactly road movies in its classical sense, such as "Thor: Ragnarok". Others don't seem to have the necessary significance. -Mardus /talk 03:37, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

'Romy and Michele's High School Reunion'?[edit]

Arguably, this is largely a 'road movie', as well. Will not add until further input. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.238.143.157 (talk) 16:39, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone add this to the list of road movies?[edit]
