Question
Thank you so much.  I've been trying to remember this movie for years.  I also have two more movies I can't remember.  The first one is, about another family being harrassed by teenagers.  The father is jogging in his neighborhood and one or more teenagers almost runs him down.  The teenager drove a 1956 Chevy I believe and the father reported him to the Police and then the teenagers went on to harass the family by dumping garbage in their driveway and eventually throwing a homemade bomb thru the front window.  The second was about a convict in prison with a twin brother and the good twin changed places with his brother and then I think the bad brother didn't want to come back.  Now, the good brother was stuck in prison.  i thought it was played by Jack Palance, but maybe I'm wrong.  Thank you very much.

I saw a movie yrs. ago.  It was on television and it was about a family of 4 taking a vacation out west.  they were on a lonley stretch of highway and they were being harrassed by some teenagers.  They played chicken on the highway and eventually the father put his car on the highway with the headlights on and took the family out of the car and the teenagers played chicken again and they swerved to avoid the car and went off the road.
-----Answer-----
Thanks for writing.  The movie is called Hot Rods to Hell (1967).  You'll find a copy available at a very reasonable price on Free Movies on DVD:

Sorry, but neither of those sounds familiar to me. How about posting your question on the Classic Movies Forum? That way more than one person can try to answer it.
