Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle.

Joking not joking.
I'm not really big into the genre, but that is a surprisingly good flick.

This is a good answer.

The Fundamentals of Caring was a really solid one also, good Paul Rudd flick.

I don't think it was on the list, but I think The Road to El Dorado should count as one tbh, and it's great.

A road movie is a film genre in which the main characters leave home on a road trip, typically altering the perspective from their everyday lives.[2] Road movies often depict travel in the hinterlands, with the films exploring the theme of alienation and examining the tensions and issues of the cultural identity of a nation or historical period; this is all often enmeshed in a mood of actual or potential menace, lawlessness, and violence,[3] a "distinctly existential air"[4] and is populated by restless, "frustrated, often desperate characters".[5]

The setting includes not just the close confines of the car as it moves on highways and roads, but also booths in diners and rooms in roadside motels, all of which helps to create intimacy and tension between the characters.[6] Road movies tend to focus on the theme of masculinity (with the man often going through some type of crisis), some type of rebellion, car culture, and self-discovery.[7] The core theme of road movies is "rebellion against conservative social norms".[5]

~

Of which I'd argue that Blues Brothers, while an amazing film and probably one of my top 3 of ALL TIME, is not a Road Movie. Sure there's a car and character progression, but they mostly do a loop around Chicago as opposed to start at point A and end at point B.

For me it's Little Miss Sunshine. All characters get a development arc, it's a cool climax, car-centric.
