Poll: Road Trip! 1980+ Edition

A poll by hb
You get to tag along a road trip with one of the following groups - which one do you choose? Not (necessarily) the best or your favorite movie - it's the group you'd most like to hang out a few days on their road trip.

Inspired by http://www.imdb.com/list/-sZYHX7NdC8/

You get to (roughly) experience what they experienced in the movie (for better or worse).

To keep it to a reasonable number of items, I am applying the following constraints:

* There are at least two "central" characters but no more than three people already on the road trip, you are the 3rd (or 4th, * The movie is about an era that is 1980s or more recent. * The main characters spend a fair amount of time in a vehicle. * Are live action and not science fiction/fantasy (not animated or puppets)

Because the list is limited to 35 items, there are valid entries that would probably not be plausible choices for anyone (e.g. they're basically awful or horrific experiences), so I've roughly chosen the more popular entries by moviemeter.
