The classic girl power movie, Thelma & Louise arrived on high-definition Blu-ray
The 1991 movie, directed by Ridley Scott (Robin Hood), stars Susan Sarandon (Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps) and Geena Davis (The Long Kiss Goodnight) as the titular women. Louise (Sarandon) is a waitress in a fast food restaurant who has problems with her friend Jimmy (Michael Madsen of Kill Bill and The Bleeding), a musician who’s always on the road. Mild-mannered Thelma (Davis) is married to Darryl (Christopher McDonald, Barry Munday), who likes his women quiet and in the kitchen.
One day, Thelma and Louise decide to leave their normal lives and hit the road together in a 1966 Thunderbird. But when Louise shoots a rapist, the women’s road trip becomes a run from the police. Harvey Keitel (Bad Lieutenant) and Brad Pitt (Seven) also star as a determined detective and sweet-talking hitchhiker, respectively.
Rated R, the film won an Academy Award for best original screenplay, written by Callie Khouri (Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood), but also was nominated for best film editing, best cinematography, best director and best actress for both its leading ladies.
The Thelma & Louise 20th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray was priced at $19.99 and includes these special features:
- commentary by Scott
