Come for Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt; stay for the flying cow
Disaster movie - of a sort - from 1996, that is probably best remembered for 2 words: "flying cow".

This follows the exploits of a group of storm chasers - who really only act as ciphers to move the audience from one breathless set piece to the next - who are doing, well, just that: trying to get in front of a Twister to launch scientific equipment up into it to further their understanding of the same, and so that they can better predict just when and where one is going to hit.

Storm Chasers, apparently, are a real thing. Why you'd want to be one is beyond me.

To Infinity and Beyond?
Toy Story spinoff featuring one of their most famous characters, here voiced by Chris Evans rather than Tim Allen.

Cue card at the start of the film states something along the lines that 'In 1995, a bit called Andy received a new toy based on his favourite movie. This is that movie'.

So, we have what is in effect a prequel of sorts - this version of Buzz is not a toy, nor is there and Woody or any of the other gang from those films. Instead, we have a very obviously Star Wars/Star Trek inspired movie, with a few twists along the way and some (as expected) drop dead gorgeous animation!
