Advantages: Great acting with an all star cast. Disadvantages: None.
I think i first saw this movie about 11 years ago and I have watched it again many times since then, it's one of those great action movies that stick in your mind and you dont get tired of watching.
It stars Susan Sarandon and Geena Davies who are fed -up with their boring everyday lives who decide to leave their equally boring boyfriend and hubby for a weekend of excitement and freedom.
The first place they go to is a bar where they have a few drinks and generally have a good tjme enjoying themselves and dancing with some of the locals, but things soon turn nasty when one of the men follows Thelma into the car park and tries to rape her, in retaliation Louise shoots and accidentally kills him.

Advantages: Hugely enjoyable, great performances, beautiful photography, a breathtaking and liberating ending Disadvantages: Some improbable plot twists
Ridley Scott's THELMA & LOUISE was released in 1991 to an unprecedented level of uproar against the film's chauvinist preoccupation, but how much of it is true?
Louise talks her best friend, bored housewife Thelma, into packing together some bags and taking off for the weekend. Notwithstanding her overbearing husband's wishes for her to remain at home like she's expected to, Thelma agrees and, leaving him a microwave dinner and a beer, she joins Louise in her classic ThunderBird '66 car, packing it to the brim with everything but her kitchen sink, to cruise the highways, smoke cigarettes, sing Aretha Franklin inspired songs and enjoy America's beautiful great outdoors.
