Interstate 60: Episodes of the Road

I am surprised I have never heard about this film. I became aware of it when I saw one of the YouTube shorts. It seemed interesting and I decided to give it a chance. I am glad I did. The movie was interesting, funny, and dynamic enough for me to never pause it and just see it all the way through, which is something that rarely happens. I liked the characters and actors' performances. There is a bit of a morale in the movie, so I think I may rewatch it with my son. This was an easy watch, light, humorous, and entertaining. Christopher Lloyd's and Gary Oldman's characters were my favorite. Recommended!

This brilliantly original film somehow bypassed theatres due to the usual studio stupidity. An intelligent, offbeat road movie with fantasy elements is a hard thing to sell, so they don't bother and the film eventually limps its way onto DVD.

With a bit more money this could have been one of the best films ever. As it is, director Bob Gale makes the best of things and it's a reflection on how strong the story is that he can get away with it on a measly budget. There are great cameos from Michael J.Fox and Kurt Russell amongst others.

Like Donnie Darko, this is a weird little indie film you may never have heard of but buying the DVD will be one of the best choices you'll make.

Once in awhile there's a film that comes along that is amazingly fresh in it's idea. Interstate 60 is one of the best movies I've seen recently. I saw in a rental store and there was only one copy they had. I didn't see it in on the shelves of the other rental chains I usually visit several times per week. I debated whether or not I should even rent the movie. But, it had Christopher Lloyd in it...so it couldn't be that bad.

I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed the movie. It's fun and utterly different than what I was expecting it to be. Interstate 60 cannot be classified into a single genre. It is many genres, from fantasy to comedy, to romance, to drama...and back again switching between these and so much more.

The script is very well written, with many memorable lines of intelligent dialogue. There are several notable cameos by high profile actors such as Michael J. Fox, Ann-Margret, and Kurt Russell. All of their performances made use of their stellar acting abilities. Another must see role was played by Chris Cooper.

Interstate 60 should really have had a wide theatrical distribution. It has the look and feel of a big budget movie, and surely has a wide ranging appeal. A lot happens in this movie and that is a good thing! It's a shame that a lot of people will probably never see or hear of the movie. If you can find it around you should definitely rent it. You also couldn't go wrong with just buying it, I know it is next on my list of movies to buy for my personal collection. I give this exceptional movie a 10 rating out of a possible 10!

Watched this on Amazon Prime. I would describe this movie as a Romantic Comedy Fantasy, it has a really good story and a cast that most movies could only dream of (I should add that some of the famous cast literally appear in the movies for no more than 5 minutes, but but others will pop up again and again) and yet it was released straight to video, which for the life of me I cannot understand as this will definitely be in my top 20 movies of the year, and I watch a lot of movies. I would say this isn't for people of all ages as there is occasional swearing, but it's fleeting. A great movie that left a big smile on the face of this 50 yr old.

James Marsden. Gary Oldman, Ann Margret. And the old team of Michael Fox and Christopher Lloyd. Think back to the future. And this film has many references to B. T. T. F. the legendary galaxy of stars. Oldman is O. W. Grant, who grants wishes. Mysterious. And Ray (LLoyd) keeps popping up too. With options. Possibilities. Marsden is Neal, an artist at heart. But his dad wants him to become a lawyer. Ray gives Neal an assignment. On a road that doesn't exist. So off he goes, and meets all kind of strange, wacky magical folks. On strange missions of their own. Kurt Russell is a cop. Lots of talk of choices. What's inevitable. What isn't. Just roll with it. Written and directed by Bob Gale. ... who just happened to write the screenplay for back to the future. Full circle. Good stuff. Fun fairy tale.
