'An erotic thriller'

the one with max headroom is "far from home" which is a really weird mix of erotic thriller and abc afterschool special.

this may have been mentioned already.

I see Boxing Helena is mentioned upthread, that movie is amazing.

Boxing Helena

omg "Far From Home"! what a weird fucking movie

"okay, so it's gonna be 'deliverance' meets 'my girl'."

haha i dont even think 'my girl' had come out at that point but it gives you the general vibe

wait waht

maybe I should see this

I remember being totally transfixed by that movie, partially because I kept waiting for Matt Frewer to do a callback to Max Headroom and partially because the tone shifts were so drastic and bizarre.

EVERYONE should see "Far From Home" IMO

shot at the Burning Man site and starring Jennifer Tilly, Matt Frewer, and Drew Barrymore!?!

I'm IN

When I first saw it, I think I missed the first 3-4 minutes so there was a good long period of time where I was convinced it was taking place in a dystopian post-apocalyptic near-future.

how does 'erotic thriller' compare to 'psychosexual thriller'

feel like law and order: svu kinda fills this niche too, minus boobs :(

Boxing Helena is RIDICULOUS. I've seen it way more times than I probably should have. The Warlock is awesome in it.

Homo doens't Willis go full frontal in Color of NIght? Pretty sure there is peen to be seen in that one.

BILL then meets a sexy girl with rabbit teeth and gross hair and they pork in the pool and there's this amazing sex scene montage. The best bit is after they're fucking Bruce has this really outrageous sounding grunting orgasm, and rabbit teeth girl is gasping, "I WANT YOU TO GET DRESSED UP FOR ME!"

It's during the pool scene. I'm sure of it.

Also iirc rabbit teeth girl was Jane March who was in the film version of The Lover and for a while everyone was acting like she was going to be the next big thing but it never really happened for her.

Willis has done full frontal in a few movies hasn't he? (12 Monkeys iirc?)

Oh man I haven't seen 12 Monkeys in a long time so I'm not sure.

Bruce just wants everyone to see his willis

I can't believe I haven't seen JADE!

didn't we have an erotic thriller poll recently? was that on the sandbox?

that cast is so 1995: caruso! fiorentino! palmintieri! EVERHART!

~~ Erotic Thrillers of the 80s and 90s ~~

palminteri! i can't even spell the guy's name right. funny how he was such a big deal for about a week.

Yeah. It seems like there was a spell when he had minor parts in tons of things.

now he has tons of parts in minor things (owned)

Chazz Palminteri recently opened a restaurant in Baltimore called "Chazz: A Bronx Original," i'm not kidding

it's amazing that it took more than a decade for david caruso to become a proper camp icon

Bet Shame will be included in the 'canon' for this in 5 years.

I wanna see Shame

Though they sucked, I miss the "erotic thriller" of yesteryear. American cinema has basically no libidinal component at this point. 70s carnality could at least occasionally be "free", cheerful and all but meaningless. This was still true in the 80s (so many boob-laden teen comedies), but it was more and more frequently used to invoke emotional meltdowns and punishment by knife-wielding maniacs. By the end of the 90s, it had almost entirely vanished, Paul Verhoeven's Showgirls arguably the final nail. These days, our perversions seem to have been scrubbed from family-friendly theater screens, confined to designated filth pits like the internet and HBO series. Sad.

guess i'm referring mostly to overt titillation as an audience lure in american pop cinema. aside from weirdly squeaky-clean teen fodder like american pie...

I miss these movies, too. What made them for me were examinations / explorations of human desire and emotions ... sex, lust, obsession, an element of experiencing something natural yet wrong, something inside ourselves taken a little too far. It's a weird and interesting sensation.

Don't know why they don't make these types of movies anymore, maybe it doesn't appeal to the whole contemporary "feel good everyday! everything is normal and peachy keen!" mentality. Which I find utter bullshit. Life's interesting because it can skew in so many different ways.

yeah the way every hit movie these days is about people feeling good and peachy keen is really tiresome

yeah like doesnt the bad acting and questionable eroticism live in on megahits like twilight even today?

i guess thats a lot more prurient and moralizing (and no tits) but i mean

haha 'even today'

LOL this thread

Some dude otmfm abt peachy keenness btw

I am pretty sure internet porn killed this genre. I miss sex in movies. Like unrealistic sex with lots of thigh high stockings and muted trumpets. These movies shaped a lot of my sexuality! I used to sneak downstairs to watch crap like this on Showtime when I was an adolescent. I said recently that trying to look and feel sexy is my motivation for about 75% of my actions. And it's totally true. I blame backlit sweaty sex scenes and Shannon Tweed.

Also SHAME sucked and it wasn't erotic or thrilling
