The original Twister (1996) is just so good. I love Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt already, but adding in Phillip Seymour Hoffman as the goofy sidekick and Carey Elwes (from Princess Bride) as the antagonist storm chaser? This movie had no business being this good. It’s light-hearted but dramatic, scary yet heart warming, whilst being revelatory in it’s authenticity. It was so informative about the nature of tornadoes, didn’t have to dramatize a thing, just showcase their spontaneous destructive power, and that was enough. Such a good movie. I’ve yet to try the new one
Twisters - If you liked Twister, you will like this one, not entirely a remake, but pretty close.
