6. Thelma & Louise
Starring: Geena Davis & Susan Sarandon
It is a classic road trip movie of two women who left their life in Arkansas and the men in it too. They don’t want to be under someone’s command or pressure anymore. This movie makes you feel warm but also leaves a ‘bitter-sweet’ taste in your mouth at the end of it.
These movies very well portray the concept of travelling alone, which they were made to do and this thing alone makes them a must watch. So make some popcorn as well as get in your comfortable pyjama for a movie night.
