Summary: Been waiting for the re-release, and it's now here!
Review: I loved the movie, wife hated the movie. Great car scenes, much more "auto" action than American Graffiti. FWIW, the 55 Chevy in TLBT is the same car used in AG.Check it out!

Summary: Great Car Film
Review: I was six when this film was released and saw it as a "second bill" in a Drive-In. I begged my parents not to leave before it was over. It changed my life- I started noticing that some cars were cool and others were just forms of transportation. Okay, I'll admit that some the language is dated and that "Blacktop" is not for everyone. If the sounds in the first five minutes don't make your heart beat a little faster you probably won't enjoy this film- try "Beaches" or "Shakespeare in Love".

Summary: A must see for the late 60's early 70's street hot rodders
Review: Two Lane Black Top relates for any Hot Rodder of the Era. The billed actors, Warren Oats, James Taylor, Dennis Wilson, and "the girl" are images of yesteryears; self promoters ala Warren Oats a supurb actor, hot rodders Wilson and Taylor stay focused on the street racing, and flower girl, L. Bird spices it up. This film is the essence of street rodding. Winning was the game. Cruising and patroling for the next challenge was the mission. This movie gives every street rodder the a reflection on the "old days". We lived this life and survived, just as the movie, "Two Lane Black Top". I'm happy to see it back in production.

Summary: A very great period piece--one of the great car movies
Review: This was a widely acclaimed movie when it came out--but bit the dust at the box office. Warren Oates is brilliant--the cars are wonderful and the story is a great American tale. Very glad to see it available after a long demise.

Summary: Great film, atrocious digital compression on the DVD
Review: The actual film is mindblowing (5 Stars). However, the digital compression on the DVD is some of the SLOPPIEST I'VE EVER SEEN (-2 Stars). During the night scenes the characters seem to be getting eaten alive in a blob of black digital mush. One would be better off viewing the film on VHS. Anchor Bay really blew this one. Why do they bother to create the attractive menus and throw in the great bonus features when the actual film verges on unwatchable due to sloppy DVD making? Tragic.

Summary: a movie best described by watching ,not with words
Review: to describe this movie is like trying to describe what gasoline taste like...either you have tasted it or you haven't. this movie needs to be watched in a totally dark room with no spoken words. a rare film: a film made in 1971 about america and its people in 1971.

Summary: Best Road Movie Ever
Review: This story of alienation is still the best road film ever produced. Lost-souls characters who only speak when they have to. The great, eerie realistic direction by Hellman is aided by the choice to have no music overlaid on the soundtrack (as I Spit on Your Grave did, adding to that film's unrelenting tension), only source music in scenes in which it happened to be playing in the background. Oates is brilliant, as usual. This film got me into road movies & travel in general. Watch for Hellman's The Shooting, too; a great, weird, existentialist Western.

Summary: A great film about alienation
Review: Contrary to what other reader reviwers would lead you to believe this is not a film about cars or racing. It is about three men who are totally alienated from anything human and can only relate to each other and the world through machines. Unable to connect to others, cars and racing are the only thing that gives their existences meaning. The emptiness and pointlessness of their lives is driven home by the shocking and unexpected ending. Great film, also look for Hellman's The Shooting.
