Thelma & Louise.
The Ridley Scott-directed film, which is hailed as a classic by many, was released in 1991 and followed the story of two friends, Thelma (Geena Davis) and Louise (Susan Sarandon), who flee to Mexico after Louise kills a man who tries to rape Thelma. Thelma & Louise is perhaps most famous for its dramatic ending, which sees the pair surrounded by police and on the verge of being caught.
Instead of surrendering, Thelma and Louise opt to keep on going and drive over the Grand Canyon in their 1966 Thunderbird.

Pearl Jam was still known as Mookie Blaylock. Huh? We didn’t use the Internet for everything (yet), and AOL was king. Google wasn’t even invented until 1998 (though didn’t officially become a verb until 2006); instead, we had Ask Jeeves, Alta Vista, Netscape, Lycos, Earthlink, MindSpring, or Yahoo (among others) to search the mysterious, new World Wide Web.
We also saw the birth of email, or Email, or e-mail, or E-mail; yes, it took a while until we settled on a universally accepted spelling for the abbreviation for electronic mail. AOL Instant Messenger was the first chat-like service to exist in the mainstream and it was life-changing. We could chat friends and make plans to go to happy hour after work right from our work computers without ever picking up the phone. We loved it.
