The Loveless

The LovelessDuring a recent hot rod gathering I mentioned one of my favorite movies "The Loveless" to a couple of people only to get blank looks!

Ok, so it's not a famous movie by any means - it certainly qualifies as a cult movie by most measures in fact - but I was lucky enough to see it many years ago and it stuck with me much like I remember the first time I saw American Graffiti.

The loveless is a biker flick - no hot rods in this one. But it is set in the late fifties, in rural Georgia, as a small biker gang stops on the way to Daytona to "hear them howl". It is period perfect.

The atmosphere of the movie is thick, and with rockabilly musician Robert Gordon co-starring in the movie and writing the soundtrack most hot rodders will love it. This is not some sugary movie like Hot Rod; be prepared for a dark movie that nonetheless still makes you wish you were one of the gang..

I see that you can still buy it at Amazon.
