(Universal, 1971– R-rated *)  In the late 1960s, following the success of such youth-oriented fare as “Easy Rider,” Hollywood executives greenlighted a spate of innovative, low-budget films by young filmmakers influenced by European directors like Robert Bresson and Michelangelo Antonioni. One such film was the minimalist “Two-Lane Blacktop,” which follows two “gearheads” (singer-songwriter James Taylor and Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson) in their souped-up ’55 Chevy as they’re challenged to a cross-country race by a middle-aged driver (Warren Oates) in a Pontiac GTO. The leisurely pace set by director Monte Hellman and screenwriter Rudolph Wurlitzer bathes audiences in spare landscapes and car culture rituals that engender a myth of freedom promised by life on the road. “Two-Lane Blacktop” was added to the National Film Registry in 2012. 7:30 p.m. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations required. For more information, call 202-707-9994. *No one under the age of 17 will be admitted without a parent or guardian.
