On the Road with Jack Kerouac: King of the Beats (1985)
Member Rating:  
Jack Kerouac penned such books as On the Road and The Dharma Bums, which captured the essence of the bohemian life that he came to personify. This documentary follows him on the road from the life of a beatnik in New York City, and across the country to California, as he set out to find America and himself. Archival photographs, film clips, interviews with those who knew him, readings from his books, and scholarly commentary provide insight into this icon of the Beat generation. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, Rovi

    In many ways, I liked this movie better than the almost identical "What Happened to Jack Kerouac" movie. Same people interviewed in both - wearing the same clothes - - so both interviews were done on the same day, but just asked different questions. I liked Peter Coyote's narration of this movie better, however. He always does a great job doing so.
