TWO-LANE BLACKTOP ZOOMS INTO SPIRIT SQUARE

It was supposed to be the next Easy Rider, and Esquire declared it “the movie of the year” before it had even been released. Instead, 1971’s Two-Lane Blacktop divided critics and was skipped by audiences, resulting in a hasty retreat from the moviegoing consciousness.
Today, it’s regarded as a minor classic by many and a cult flick by all, and now local audiences have the opportunity to lap up what’s long been regarded as one of the quintessential American road movies.
