"Vanishing Point", the 1971 version with Barry Newman and some gorgeous women. The girl at the gas station, his late girlfriend, the stunner on the motorbike, and Charlotte Rampling as the Angel of Death.
I love this film, it's beautiful and very deep. A modern ( 1971 ) take on the classic book "The Pilgrim's Progress", with Kowalski being Everyman/humanity and Supersoul being God who tries to keep him on the right path. There's so many elements to it. The more I see it the more impressed I am. The Wandering in the Desert, Reverend Jay Hovah, The Temptation etc.
The music's very appropriate too.
Anyway a picture's worth a thousand words so here's three clips.
The first is the Movie Trailer.
The second's a montage of bits from the film for the fanatics that love it. For those that haven't seen it - it gives the ending away - so don't look.
The last clip - also a bit of a montage - for the fanatics.
P.S. R.I.P. Charlotte Dawson.
