Return to Macon County (1975)
In 1958, two teenagers take their pride and joy, a hopped-up Chevy, and start a cross-country journey to enter it in the National Championship drag races in California. Along the way they hook up with a pretty but dingy waitress who quits her job and hops in their car--and turns out to be more trouble than they thought--drag-race a gang of town punks who lose to to them and then accuse them of cheating, and come up against a local cop who is obsessed with putting these two "juvenile delinquents" in jail.

Reviews
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
