There is limited information on the genre of road films, as it is often the forgotten genre in the 21st century (it seems that extends online in many cases), but there is some information as to some of the best road films and some of these tropes that make up road films. There is a blog online by what appears from a cinema student (JessWaterhouse%u2019sblog.wordpress.com) which goes through some of the notable conventions in road films such as %u201CThelma and Louise%u201D. The blog of course has its own list of reliable references, both print and online. Also on %u201CFilmsite%u201D is a list, a database if you will, name checking the most famous and notable road films since their inception in the late 20s (which can be attributed to the rise of automobile use). The website has been run by notable film historian Tim Dirks since its creation in 1996. The man is not simply some guy with a website; he often provides original material from %u201CGreatest Films%u201D for film studies courses, magazine, newspaper and web articles, radio shows, other film-related websites, and even for film featurettes found on DVDs. In any case he has a whole discussion on the various sub genres of road films, such as Classic road films and lovers on the road films. For each title he has a small synopsis on the film. The Media Resource Center is a project of the University of Berkeley in California and it to has an extensive database of road films, providing a more detailed descriptions that the film site page.
