I want to compose a list of must see films which are similar in terms of soundtrack and mid-west style road trip/ documentaries etc which are relaxing and endearing at the same time
I'll give this a try. These are road pictures I've especially enjoyed:

Environmentalists were in a Manitoba courtroom on Tuesday, attempting to stop forestry company Tolko from continuing to build a northern logging road that is believed to be threatening woodland caribou populations.
The Wilderness Committee is using a rarely used legal tool — it is asking a judge to clarify the rights granted to Tolko to build the controversial Dickstone Road that cuts straight through Grass River Provincial Park near Flin Flon, Man.
The rights are being legally questioned because the province passed a law two years ago that bans logging in provincial parks.
"We're asking a judge to look at this legislation as it was written to determine if a logging road is considered logging," Eric Reder, a spokesman for The Wilderness Committee, said outside court.
If the judge rules the right to build the road was not legal, Tolko may have to cancel construction of its logging road, said Reder.
Group fought for logging banThe non-profit advocacy group had campaigned for years to get the provincial park logging ban, signing up more than 20,000 Manitoba signatures in support.
