I will always remember you from not only one of my favorite movies of all time, but also the one that first got me into wanting to become a storm chaser. Thanks for playing a part in cementing the fascination I have with tornadoes that I still carry 22 years on.

God damn. He had exactly the same effect on me, I wanted to be a storm chaser and it is by far my favorite movie.

Tombstone was a fantastic movie. A real shame.

I remember watching that movie in the theatre when I was 11 and coming away from it with a different outlook on tornadoes and the science behind them. I knew it was just a movie, but a lot of effort went into making it feel realistic to a certain extent. I think it sparked interest in a lot of people and really put storm chasing in the spotlight.

One of my bucket list items is seeing one in real life. I realize this is extremely dangerous, but that movie changed me.
