‘Thelma & Louise’: 35th Anniversary of an Instant Classic

“Thelma & Louise” plays with a feminist stacked deck. But regardless, it’s still one of the most enjoyable movies you'll ever see.

I saw Ridley Scott’s 1991 paean to feminism, “Thelma & Louise,” with a female acting school classmate. When I observed the euphoric effect that one of the film’s minor characters had on her, I made a note to keep an eye on the career of this unknown actor with the ripped abs.
