THE classic of all classic trucking films!!   April 8, 2001

Of all the trucking movies filmed, Convoy has to be the premier! What amazes me is that one can obtain any one of the other trucking movies to come out of the '70's and '80's, yet convoy remains elusive like the finest of gems. Convoy relates to the trucking industry as much today as it did when first released. Unlike the others, Convoy remains a true classic. I rate convoy as the best trucking movie to come out of Hollywood, ever. BRING THIS MOVIE BACK!!!

CONVOY is the best trucker movie of all time. I've watched this movie 1000's of times when I was a kid and I enjoy it even more now. This movie has action, comedy and romance. Kris Kristofferson was great in this movie, he really brought out the excitement of being a truck driver. As for Ali MacGraw, she was also great and beautiful co-star. The director, Sam Peckinpah did an excellent job capturing the essence of truck driving. After so many years of searching for this movie I finally have a copy of my own thanks to Amazon.com. I'm impatiently waiting for it to come out on DVD(extended verison)....

I used to watch Convoy over and over as a kid. It is unfortunate that it is not being produced on DVD or VHS considering how many movies not nearly as entertaining are being marketed. I think if you didn't see it when it first came out you'd find it silly and dated today, but I feel to those of us who saw it initially growing up, it is a classic. Modeled after a catchy country western song by C.W. McCall and with stars such as Kris Kristofferson, Ali McGraw, Burt Young and Ernest Borgnine, I'm surprised it is so obscure. It has some great 70's car/truck chase and crash scenes and a good soundtrack. Hopefully it will come out of moratorium soon and be available.

I throughly enjoyed this movie as a child and just as much as an adult. I am also sure that others feel as I do , and was horrified to find that when I tried to purchase a copy , that none were available in vhs (I live in australia),or DVD which I don't at present own,but would gladly buy to continue my enjoyment of this movie. Please bring this movie back as I am sure more people other than myself enjoyed this movie and would like to continue to enjoy it. Please note that very few stores still have this movie on the shelf and those that do wont part with it.
