Two women, a turquoise Thunderbird, the ride of a lifetime.
Meek housewife Thelma (Geena Davis) joins her friend Louise (Susan Sarandon), an independent waitress, on a short fishing trip. When a chance encounter at a roadside bar goes horribly wrong, their weekend getaway becomes a high-speed flight from the law as the two women attempt to flee to Mexico, meeting a host of characters along the way that include the dashing-but-dangerous J.D. (Brad Pitt's star-making role) and a sympathetic police officer (Harvey Keitel). There's no trip like a girls' trip!
Winning an Oscar for Callie Khoury's screenplay and nominated for five others, including two Best Actresses and Best Director, Ridley Scott's legendary feminist ride-or-die road trip is an utterly irresistible reimagining of the previously male-dominated road odyssey genre that reminds us of the resources, capabilities, and freedoms we may not know we possess. "Thelma and Louise celebrates the myth of two carefree souls piling into a 1956 T-Bird and driving out of town to have some fun and raise some hell. We know the road better than that, however, and we know the toll it exacts: Before their journey is done, these characters will have undergone a rite of passage, and will have discovered themselves."—Roger Ebert.

Birders: The Central Park Effect reveals the extraordinary array of wild birds who grace Manhattan's celebrated patch of green, and the equally colorful New Yorkers who schedule their lives around the rhythms of migration. Author Jonathan Franzen, an idiosyncratic trombone technician, and a septuagenarian bird-tour leader are among the lively cast of characters in this charming, lyrical documentary that transports the viewer to the dazzling, hidden world of America's most famous park.
"Birders: The Central Park Effect should be a delight for everyone. Bird watchers will find affirmation and even explanation for their avocation. People who can't tell a towhee from a titmouse will still wonder at the beauty of it all."—Nancy DeWolf Smith, Wall Street Journal.
Be sure to stick around after the show for an open discussion with birder commentators from the local area!
