Triple bill of romantic comedies. In ' When Harry Met Sally' (1989), Harry (Billy Crystal) & Sally (Meg Ryan) first meet as students, when they share a disagreeable drive from Chicago to New York. Over the course of the next ten years they keep bumping into each other at various intervals, which generally seem to coincide with one of them having an emotional trauma. Will their platonic relationship turn into something more? Rob Reiner's hugely successful romantic comedy features Meg Ryan infamously faking an orgasm in a Manhattan deli. In ' Thelma & Louise' (1991), waitress Louise (Susan Sarandon) persuades her friend Thelma (Geena Davis) to escape her abusive husband & join her on a road trip. When they stop off at a country bar, Louise ends up saving Thelma from an attempted rape
- shooting & killing the rapist in the process
- & the women consequently find themselves forced to go on the run. Along the way their money is stolen by a handsome cowboy (Brad Pitt) & they begin holding up convenience stores, feeling strangely liberated by their newfound assertiveness. Harvey Keitel co-stars as the detective who attempts to talk the heroines into giving themselves up. In ' Overboard' (1987), arrogant heiress Joanna Stayton (Goldie Hawn) lands herself in a heap of trouble when she falls overboard during a cruise with her husb&. She is rescued by handyman Dean Proffitt (Kurt Russell), a single parent in desperate need of help with his four obnoxious kids, & as Joanna has lost her memory, she is in no position to object when he claims her as his wife.

When He's Not A Stranger/Little Girl Lost/Making A Case For Mu...

A triple bill of true-story movies. 'When He's Not a Stranger' is a film which challenges the questions raised in the media and public eye over 'date rape'. Lyn (Annabeth Gish), an undergraduate at a California university, arranges to meet Melanie, her best friend, in the dorm of Melanie's boyfriend Ron. However Melanie is not there and Ron takes advantage of the situation, forcing himself on Lyn and raping her. Initially Lyn decides to forget the whole episode (she knew the rapist, did she ask for it?) but then decides to seek legal recourse. This brings pressures not only from the university but also from her best friend... In 'Little Girl Lost' four-year-old Tella is a well-adjusted girl until the courts return her to her natural father, who then abuses her. Clara (Tess Harper)
and Tim Brady (Frederic Forrest), Tella's foster parents, fight to get her back, but come up against the unsympathetic welfare system. Whilst 'Making a Case for Murder' is a made for TV movie which follows the case of three black men who run into trouble when their car breaks down in a middle-class area of New York and they seek refuge in a small local restaurant. The events and courtroom drama which followed reverberated throughout America.
