American Road Magazine Volume 12 No. 2 Edición anterior

The cinematic-inspired Summer 2014 issue begins with "A Night at the Drive-In 2"—an answer to requests to compile a second compendium of outdoor cinemas around North America. Back in 2011, American Road® showcased twenty-six drive-ins, meeting their owners and presenting each theatre's story. This time, thirty-two drive-ins are highlighted, following the first rule of sequels that says bigger is better.

Actor and director Burt Reynolds became a megastar on the drive-in screen beginning in the early 1970s. In "Smokey and the Bandit", "The Cannonball Run", and other fuel-injected outings, he defined the road film for Generation X. Mr. Reynolds speaks to his experiences in an exclusive American Road® interview that looks back on the miles he's traveled and explains why he endures as an American icon.

As a follow-up, American Road® examines a dozen films named for genuine thoroughfares—from Charlie Chaplin's "Easy Street" to Billy Wilder’s "Sunset Boulevard" and David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive." Finally, staff from the magazine's road departments revisit the filming of "Bagdad Café" on Route 66, "The Birds" around Bodega Bay, and "Zaat"—among other walking-catfish-freak-type films—off US 101 at Florida's Marineland.
