Thelma & Louise is a 1991 film co-produced and directed by Ridley Scott and written by Callie Khouri, the film's plot revolves around Thelma and Louise's escape from their troubled and caged lives. It stars Geena Davis as Thelma and Susan Sarandon as Louise, and co-stars Harvey Keitel as a sympathetic detective trying to trace them as they go on the run after killing a rapist. Michael Madsen plays the role of Louise's boyfriend. Brad Pitt (in one of his first significant film roles) plays a robber out on parole.

And in the end......

Thelma and Louise are finally cornered by police only about 100 yards from the edge of the Grand Canyon. Detective Slocumb arrives on the scene and protests that the law enforcement response is too heavy, but he is refused the chance to make one last attempt to talk the women into surrendering themselves. Rather than be captured and spend the rest of their lives in jail, Thelma proposes that they keep going, implying that they end their lives by driving over the edge and into the canyon. Louise initially doesn't understand, and Thelma repeats herself. Louise smiles and asks Thelma if she is certain, and Thelma replies yes. Louise pulls Thelma to her and kisses her and then she stomps on the gas. Slocumb recognizes what is happening as soon as the car starts forward, and he sprints after the women in a desperate effort to save them. The film ends with the car driving over the cliff and flying through the air. End credits begin over a montage of their happier moments together during the weekend.

So Bob they had better hope to re write the end or the forum will be a much quieter place.

It was a very unmemorable movie if I recall correctly.

It involved a car trip and two women - the ending has been rewritten! Thelma's safely home in Tumut recovering from having to listen to Lou for 10 hours straight! Lou has her voice back - mostly and there's no stopping her now!
