Written by Best Original Screenplay winner Callie Khouri and directed by Ridley Scott - "In one of the greatest road movies of all time, Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon become fugitives from the law when they take a weekend break from their dull relationships and dead-end lives."

Thelma & Louise will be the main topic of discussion, though we may also mention other road movies such as (links where currently streaming for free):

General plan: by 7pm most of us should be in the upstairs room at the pub but we'll start by suggesting films to discuss in future in case anyone arrives late. Typically we'll discuss the selected title until 8ish, when there's a short break to go to the bar, then any further discussion till around 9, though of course you can leave at any point.

The Shirker's Rest takes cards, not cash, and serves a range of soft drinks, wine and spirits in addition to their beer and cider selection [https://theshirkersrest.co.uk/drinks/ ](https://theshirkersrest.co.uk/drinks/)- they don't have a kitchen but encourage you to order from https://yardsalepizza.com/menu/ ...
