What is "road movie"

n. (context idiomatic film English) A film in which much of the action takes place during a journey, especially one involving overland travel.

A road film is a film genre in which the main characters leave home on a road trip, typically altering the perspective from their everyday lives.

Road Movie is a 2002 South Korean film about a love triangle between a woman, a man who loves her, and a gay man who loves him. Living on the margins of society, they go on a road trip together.

Road Movie is a documentary-style film by rock group R.E.M., released on both VHS and DVD, charting the group's 1995 worldwide tour in support of their album Monster, released in late 1994. Directed by Peter Care, the ninety-minute effort features nineteen songs (all but one a montage) performed over the final three nights (November 18, 19 and 21) of the tour, at The Omni in Atlanta, Georgia. The set-list reads very much like a complete R.E.M. show—gigs on the Monster tour were opened by either " I Took Your Name" or " What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" (with the former taking precedence in this case), while the last song of the night was invariably " It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" (as it is here). The film is a companion piece to the Tourfilm documentary (note the symmetry in the names), which chronicles the band's 1989 tour on the back of the previous year's album Green.

The songs included, by album, are: "The One I Love" and "It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" from Document; "Orange Crush" as the sole offering from Green; "Losing My Religion" and "Country Feedback" from Out of Time; "Everybody Hurts", "Find the River" and "Man on the Moon" from Automatic For The People; "I Took Your Name", "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?", "Crush with Eyeliner", "Tongue", "Star 69", "Let Me In" and "Strange Currencies" from the then-new Monster; and "Undertow", "The Wake-Up Bomb" and "Binky the Doormat" from the then-forthcoming New Adventures in Hi-Fi. "Revolution" was eventually released on the Batman & Robin soundtrack in 1997.
