Zabriskie Point isn't my favorite film of Antonioni's. He really isn't cut out to make "cute"
semi-political love movies. My favorite Antonioni film is Eclipse. But if you want to get all
hip and really cute, try his film Blow-Up. (Antonioni movies, by the way, are an acquired taste.
There is usually (earlier films) a whole LOT of time reserved for quiet, intellectual contemplation
of the crushing burden of existential loneliness we all must endure.
(If you want movies that rapidly connect the dots, his ain't them.)
But getting back to the original question: For some high-class crash-bang just oozing with the grim,
sexual masculinity of Steve McQueen, you should try Peter Yates' Bullitt -- god how I LOVE this movie!
