Here's a really terrific one: The Best Bar in America. It's on Amazon, free if you have Prime. It stars no one you ever heard of, all of whom are, like the movie itself, surprisingly good.

Here's the blurb:

"A whiskey-fueled writing assignment takes one man on an epic motorcycle road trip through the bars and taverns across the American West. Motorcycling, sleeping on the ground, chasing mermaids, & drinking in America's most legendary taverns, Sanders experiences firsthand the brotherhood of the bike and bar. Along the way he gets advice from Ernest Hemingway and Jim Harrison on writing & drinking."

1, 5, 6 & 8

Little Fauss and Big Halsy I thought was a good movie. Saw it in theatrical release. Anything with Robert Redford, Lauren Hutton and Michael J. Pollard is a pretty big movie especially for 1970. That was a time of LOTS of motorcycle movies.

I'll second that. Great movie!

"Sidehackers" was on "Mystery Science Theater 3000" (currently on Netflix).

One of my favorites that wasn't mentioned was "The Loveless" (1985). It starred Willem Dafoe and featured a rockabilly soundtrack by Robert Gordon (who co-starred). It also featured lots of cool Panheads.
