Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4725470, member: 1414"] [B]Twister[/B]. Was in the mood for this the other day. Part disaster movie, part rom-com. Helen Hunt in her Mad About You era, Bill Paxton, Cary Elwes as the bad guy and Jamie Gertz. The cast is pretty epic really, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Allan Ruck, Jeremy Davies. The special effects were great for the time, convey a convincing sense of terror if being unrealistic at times about what it is like "near" a tornado. Michael Crichton did the screenplay. Jan de Bont directed. Reportedly he insisted that it be filmed in Oklahoma. That saved it, because despite the CGI you get a proper sense of the place and it makes a difference. This was the #2 movie back in 1996, and is worth a watch. [/QUOTE]
