This 1990 movie is one of three collaborations between Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan - two actors who have undoubted chemistry together - but it certainly wasn't the best. The movie is about Joe Banks (Hanks) - a downtrodden everyman from Staten Island - who discovered that he was dying and accepted an offer to throw himself in to a volcano at a tropical island as a human sacrifice and, along the way there, learned to truly live. He fell in love with Patricia (one of three characters played by Ryan in the movie) and the pair declared their mutual love just prior to Joe sacrificing himself. They ultimately jumped in to the volcano together just as it erupted. It blew them in to the ocean and they miraculously survived, at which point Patricia learned who told Joe of his "terminal condition" (a corny of her father's) and realised he was told lies and setup - there was nothing wrong with him. The pair then lived happily ever after! Not your typical "versus" movie, by any stretch of the imagination! So there you have it - the ten weirdest "versus" movies of all time.
