#7. The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996) | Own on DVD for $5 @ Amazon.com
Stars: Samuel L. Jackson, Geena Davis
How you’ll sell it: “It’s the story of a mom from a small town in Pennsylvania — she just so happens to be played by Geena Davis from, ahem, Thelma and Louise — who suffers from amnesia and struggles to piece her life together.”
What you’ll see: A decent action flick. When Davis, a mild-mannered mom, goes Bruce Lee on some dude’s ass when he attacks her, hazy memories of her former life as a CIA operative start to resurface. Jackson is mostly there just to swear.
