There are so many great stories about being on the run but I drew a blank this week. I literally couldn't think of anything. Then late late this evening (well, night) I thought of a few BUT these are ones I have used before.
Don't forget to check out where it all started over at
Wandering Through the Shelves.
Thelma and Louise
One the greatest femmist films of all time, actually just an all round brilliant film. Two best friends go on a road trip but along the way Louise kills a man who is about rape Thelma. They end up having an adventure but while on the run, turning from 'good' people to criminals. It was a wake up call to Hollywood but as everyone knows, not much changed or at least this was the talk not long ago, but women are making waves in film and hopefully this will only get better.
Gun Crazy
Two gun crazed lovers, one an ace shot and marksman Bart, the other, Annie, a sharpshooter in a carnival show, fall in love and go on the run while robbing banks and a factory. The tables turn when Annie shoots someone which causes problems in the relationship not to mention being hunted by the police. Classic Film Noir.
Minority Report
Ah Minority Report. Despite the fact I dislike Tom Cruise, this film was pretty darn good. We can thank Philip K Dick has the film is based a short story of his. Set in 2054 where John Anderton is head of a 'PreCrime' team that arrests criminals before they commit their crimes with knowledge provided by 'precogs' who are all named after famous crime novelists (nice touch). There is another layer to the story of Anderton who has never recovered from the disappearance of his young son. He ends up on the run after he is framed for a murder he hasn't commited yet. As I said, pretty darn good.
