Just wondering aloud… So many road movies of the times ended with a explosive fire and deadly conclusion, often with an almost angelic song at the end. Vanishing Point Easy Rider Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry Come to mind, all produced within a few years of each other. Love that song at the end of Dirty Mary: “Time ((is such a funny thing)” Such an era of artistic thought…

I was thinking about this in a different way not too long ago. The movies you mentioned, death was the final, the end, no more, done. Now with Hollywood, there is no death. Oh sure, you see people getting blown up and killed in all manners, but if there's a buck to be made, are they really dead? How many times has a character been killed off just to show up again in a sequel? Was there ever a sequel to the movies you mentioned? No. Done.

Blue's Angels. Awful movie, don't remember the end but do love the song for the opening.

No votes for "Thelma and Louise"? None And here I thought someone would say. As far as Cult I know it had a big following. I saw it once that was enough.

Rocky Horror is an awesome show. But yeah, it's very polarizing. You either love it or you hate it. Thunderbolt & Lightfoot is awesome because there's just SO many classic actors in it as side players! Gary Busey, Burton Gilliam, Vic Tayback, Dub Taylor, Catherine Bach.... it's almost a who's-who of upcomers in Hollywood at the time. It's crazy to think of all the super-famous actors from back then who were actually friends! Hollywood certainly has changed and not really for the better.
Thunder & Lightning with David Carradine, Roger C. Carmel, & Chuck Napier is a pretty good flick. Gumball Rally is amazing Cannonball! is Ok, but is your typical cheap Corman flick Death Race 2000 - the original. The Remake blows chunks.
I'm hoping that somebody does whatever they can to dig up a few more more obscure classics.
We need a proper DVD or Blu-Ray release of "Moonrunners".... though I hear there's some issues with Waylon Jennings' estate on that one since all the music is his. Would LOVE to see Joe Don Bakers' "Speedtrap" get a release. I've suggested that one to Vinegar Syndrome and they are looking into it. "Stingray" with Chris Mitchum, Les Lannom, Sherry Jackson & William Watson HAS been restored using a pre-release print and even includes two or three scenes not included in the theatrical print. However, legal issues is tying this one up as nobody seems to know who owns the rights anymore. It's another I've suggest to Vinegar Syndrome and they may look into it since the leg work is already done! "Double Nickles" by Toby Halicki's buddy Jack Vacek is another that needs to find release, but that's tied up in legal BS with the Halicki estate.

Vanishing Point: Car explodes after hitting bulldozers
Easy Rider: Motorcycle explodes after being shot gunned
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry: Car explodes after being hit by freight train.
All three followed immediately by serene, spiritual music. You forgot "The Car" 1977. Car explodes after running off cliff and being blown up with dynamite. Not sure the music was "serene", though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4qTXo2KCn0

Is Christine considered a cult movie? Probably not. I certainly think it would qualify
