I prefer audiobooks myself and I've aged out of being able to recommend any movie made in the last 10-15 years. I HAVE listened to old movies in audio only on the road for a couple of reasons: Some, even many of them are no longer copyrighted. They tend to be dialogue oriented. With a zero-dollar special effects budget you actually HAVE to have a decent story to tell, which is why so many really old movies get re-made..... Good Luck!
I'm leaning toward the "Ok Go" videos played on my laptop perched behind the driving wheel. This also solves the Full Self Driving 'nag' to keep looking forward. For example: Bob Wilson
If one can obtain the full audio of Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy, it would be good. I'm here to announce that a video documentary of Douglas Adam's life popped up in 2025/3. By way of interviews with friends, it fills in some gaps we may have felt. How you might view "Douglas Adams: The Man Who Imagined Our Future" is up to readers, some of whom might go to piracy websites. It must be available for proper purchase somewhere. One would suppose.
I'm not familiar with the late Doug Adam's 'trilogy in six parts' even though 5/6 of his guides are available in the DoD lending library - at least for now. Not sure what DODGE is going to do with their budget. For now I will store this in between The Hobbit, and Pride and Prejudice. Two books that I've failed to penetrate despite several attempts. I have an audio version of the latter narrated (performed?) by Roseamund Pike and I have an upcoming road trip - so I may yet summit Ms Austin's sophomore novel. The Hitchhiker's guide (Hitch-Hiker's Guide, Hitch Hiker's Guide?) is widely available in audio libraries - or if you're into double ironies you can further enrich Bezos - or at least help pay for his next divorce attorney, by getting them all (some 40 hours worth) on Audible. Doug's first edition used the hyphenated spelling - so I will let drive-by English majors argue that out amongst themselves.
Movies, to listen only? I'd guess I respond: comedies with many one-liners. Rodney Dangerfield collections perhaps? The Marx Brothers? Cheech and Chong? But, audio books seem like a better option.
