Car Games

When you're on a 12 hour car drive (that takes 13 1/2 hours), you get bored. You get tired of listening to music and run out of interesting things to talk about.

At about the 9 hour point of our drive, we'd hit the wall and Mr. Bean and I started playing our new game: Name movies that __________.

Name movies that have a cornfield chase scene.
Joyride
X-Files: Fight the Future
Signs
North By Northwest

Name movies that take place largely in a hotel.
Joyride
Vacancy
Identity
Psycho
Home Alone 2

Name movies where the car won't start.
Joyride
Vacancy
Back to the Future (1)
Final Destination
The Glass House

We did several more categories than this, but the first 3 categories all had Joyride in them which was pretty funny to us. Can you add more movies to any of these categories?
