We're heading out for a road trip with two ladies who are doing it for themselves! Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon star as the titular leads in this 1991 road trip crime drama from director Ridley Scott. When a girls' weekend getaway goes awry, a waitress and housewife must dodge the law and would-be lovers to make a true getaway. But when their luck runs out, they must take a leap of faith. Co-starring Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen, Christopher McDonald, Stephen Tobolowsky, and Brad Pitt, the film won multiple awards, including the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for writer Callie Khouri. It was instantly part of the pop culture lexicon at the time, and in the years since, this movie has become a landmark of feminist film. Now we're loading up the Thunderbird and hitting the road with Thelma & Louise!
