Duel

A '70s-era Spielberg take on the car chase movie. A normal guy in a car irritates the driver of a big rig, and road rage ensues. "Joyride" is a nice little update of this gem, which is probably one of the 500 films that influenced Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof." There's only so much you can do in a car chase film; other than countless scenes of one car gaining on the other, a driver looking in his rearview mirror, and sudden swerves, there's not much to do. But Spielberg manages to do a lot here.
