The buttery peak of the popcorn mountain, “Twister” is the most movie fun legally allowed for you and your rag-tag crew of storm chasers. Yes, we all know a cow circles the skies, but this whole thing MOVES. A tornado screams through a drive-through showing The Shining, Philip Seymour Hoffman whispers “the suck zone” in someone’s ear, and Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton’s sexual chemistry nearly drowns the screen. It’s gravy that’s practically a food group!

The weather came before anything else. Steven Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy asked George Lucas’s VFX company Industrial Light & Magic if they could make a CGI tornado, and you don’t say no to Amblin. Warner and Universal bought the tornado with no actors, no script, just pixels. They paid Anne-Marie Martin and Michael Crichton to write around it and lucked into one of the finest ensemble casts ever assembled. Fresh off directorial debut “Speed,” brilliant cinematographer slash genius of motion Jan De Bont proved the perfect ringmaster for the ultimate disaster movie.
