I tried to read Catcher in the Rye, but I thought it was boring before I finished the first chapter and never went back, so, that and how it relates to Thelma and Louise is completely lost on me.

I did like Thelma and Louise, though, probably for different reasons than you do.

The only Sarandon role I can remember on my own was a John Grisham novel; she played a nun, IIRC, trying to save Sean Penn from being executed or something. Penn was also good in that one.

Maybe she was in two Grisham based movies; I think she played 'Reggie Love' in one, too.
