Alfred Hitchcock is one of the most renowned and influential film directors. His career ushered in two key periods of cinema history – the arrival of sound and the introduction of colour.

For the ambitious music industry intern Aaron Green (Jonah Hill) in Get Him to the Greek, the task was supposedly easy: Escort a musician from London to a concert date in LA. What Aaron didn't count on was that his traveling companion, notorious rock god Aldous Snow (Russell Brand), would be following one of the prime rules of movie storytelling: If you plan to go from point A to point B, rest assured that, in actuality, you'll be visiting point U, point M, point X, and (if this is an indie film) point 5b, before finally winding up at your destination. Hooking up with a hard-partying artist for a trip containing all the booze, drugs, and willing bed partners a transatlantic and cross-country jog can provide is just asking for trouble.

FedEx may think they have all the contingencies covered, but it turns out that ingenious filmmakers have found myriad ways to stock trains, planes, and automobiles with increasingly vexing traveling companions. We've managed to dig up 10 especially daunting cargos — human and otherwise — that have made getting there twice the fun ... for the audience, at least:

"The action of the chemical releases the subconscious so that it becomes apparent to yourself. So that you can see what transpires in the depth of you mind — and what goes on there you wouldn’t believe, ladies and gentlemen — and learn which misconceptions, guilts and fears, with their resultant repressions, inhibitions and insecurities, have formed the pattern for your past behavior. A successively recurring pattern since childhood...." http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/section-blog/340-cary-grants-thoughts-on-lsd-in-an-excerpt-from-his-autobiography"The action of the chemical releases the subconscious so that it becomes apparent... more
