I'll start. Road Games.

Kind of an obscure little gem from the early 80s. I caught it on TV a couple of times. Anyone else seen this?

Only one truck scene in Mad Max. No trucks in Thunderdome--a dumb-assed train, but no trucks.

Now, Big Trouble in Little China on the other hand...

Then I'll forfeit my Beyond Thunderdome vote for the timeless classic, Tango & Cash.

That is definitely the best truck-related movie that involves arm-wrestling.

Oh, and not a movie, but BJ and the Bear. Trucks and chimps - you can't get a better combination than that.

All of mine were taken in the first three posts.

Isn't it Eastbound and not Southbound from Mr. Reed there?

No, not bridges, Russell...Kurt...and it had a really generic name...oh yeah, Breakdown.

And I think it's just Duel

T3 also had a delightfully over-the-top truck sequence.

How old was Jamie-Lee Curtis when she did that? Oh, man, 1981? That was between the two Halloweens and before Love Letters...I need to see that now. Is it any good?
