was just going to post.
I'm realizing how much of a thing this was around that time.
James Howard
Sir Ridley kino
Thomas Green
Was this one of the blueprints for this?
Nolan Lee
Like, Bonnie & Clyde obviously influenced Badlands, which influenced Kalifornia and Natural Born Killers.
Kevin White
...
Isaac Ross
Also, this.
And I guess the ones not about killers are influenced by old cowboy movies about lone riders and outlaws.

Jim Morrison's movie HWY: An American Pastoral
Jaxson Torres
This really is a thing, isn't it?
It would be fun to make one of these movies.
Grayson Jones
Not about outsiders, but still falls into the southwest roadtrip genre.
Adam Gutierrez
Also not about outsiders, but great southwestern roadkino
Levi King
I know there's even more southwestern roadkino than this.
Justin Cruz
If i post a movie from 1996, is that mid 90s or late 90s
Evan Taylor
McGowan was so fucking hot.
Henry Ramirez
You guys made me realize that even T2 is this.
I wanted to post 1000 miles to Graceland
Jeremiah Foster
Sigh
Leo Brooks
either.
they don't have to be from that period, I just noticed a lot of these were from around the early 90s.
Connor Walker
yeah, T2 is totally one of these movies.
it's a really cool genre. there's something really romantic about being on the run or without direction in the southwest
taps into that whole legacy and mythology of cowboys, American individualism, outlaw stories, beatniks, hippie travelers, Western expansionism, and the American dream in general.
Adam Young
Even some music from that era was kind of doing vibe. A lot of those hair metal powerbalads around the late 80s/early 90s were doing this spacious, outlaw, on-the-road thing:

But then also there was like scuzzy southwestern neopsychedelia like Butthole Surfers.
Or kind of lost drifter sounding stuff like Galaxie 500:

And some industrial was kind of doing that tweaker southwestern hick thing that really goes with that whole Juliette Lewis aesthetic:

(for tweaker vibes see also Primus)
Easton Turner
Man there was a LOT of this shit back then.
Wonder how the trend started?
Isaiah Ross

>Wonder how the trend started?
Come to think of it, there was a new crop of prettyboys around that time who had that badboy outlaw thing going.
The romanticization of that image probably had something to do with it, coupled with the fact that The Doors were starting to get listened to more around then. The Doors movie would be relevant to this thread too. And The Lost Boys, as far as the type of late 80s / early 90s badboy image related to this. Or pic related.
Also, Drugstore Cowboy,
Hunter Price
Kiefer Sutherland, Matt Dillon, River Phoenix, Keanu Reeves, Christian Slater, etc. etc.
+ Juliette Lewis & Patricia Arquette
+ all the Goth and hard rock band prettyboy singers, like The Cult, Type O Negative, Fields of the Nephilim, etc.
+ The Doors revival and movie
+ hair metal bands going cowboy / outlaw
+ indie psych rock playing with scuzzy tweaker vibes
+ all these outlaw southwest road movies about outsiders and serial killers
Easton Bailey
I think Baudrillard's book America was even kind of riffing on this whole area and its aesthetic
William Bell
This show, lol
Leo Cooper
You forgot two kinos, this
Grayson Davis
And this. It's 2003, but feels exactly like mid 90s.
Lincoln Anderson
Haven't heard of this somehow, adding it to the list.
So it's kino?
Jose Gutierrez
Time travelling and Belushi as a bad guy, it's kino all right.
Nolan Mitchell

I loved the aesthetic of this movie, the story was alright.

>inb4 Zack Snyder. I mean something colorful and different types of cinematography switching from time to time
Ayden Thomas
>so many movies, usually from the late 80s - mid 90s, about outsiders or rebels taking a road trip across the southwest
