Emmanuelle is 70s; I know there were 80s sequels, but not much of a thriller element in those.
yeah, i was thinking of the '80s/'90s spinoffs.

Body double one of my fav movies, btw lol 'erotically trilling', gangster

"Erotic thrillers" of the 1940s would be a much better poll.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Poison Ivy yet. I've seen that movie so many times. Darlene! Drew and Skeritt on top of a car in a scene that left me traumatized for years!

I really really hated EWS but the Ligeti piece that is the cornerstone of the soundtrack ("Musica Ricercata" mvmt 2) is one of my favorite things in the entire world

― vitameatawalloginavegamin (donna rouge), Monday, 7 November 2011 22:15 (twelve years ago) link
last seduction is really good. body double is dope and i like how it's almost a slasher film, too. very giallo as much as hitchcockian. wild things is cool. if this was expanded to the nineties i might consider a vote for unfaithful, which was better than it had any right to be.

"Sliver" shouldn't work at all... and it doesn't. It does have Lords of Acid on the soundtrack, tho
but it does have "Unfinished Sympathy."

Craig Wasson is pretty terrible.
yeah srsly. Is this the worst performance in a De Palma movie before TBOTV?

Few movies as forgettable as Sliver have soundtracks as awesome as that one does.

ellen barkin is like a one woman erotic thriller in any movie from the late 80s to the mid 90s

yeah it's like the 'empire records' of erotic thrillers

billy baldwin was the most useless actor hollywood tried to foist upon america as a star. well maybe not as useless as chris o'donnell.
― omar little, Monday, 7 November 2011 22:38 (twelve years ago) link
"Wild Things" is a masterpiece of some sort. Want to say this movie is a key component in the Bill Murray critical comeback, too. But really, everyone is perfect in this, and as erotic thrillers go, it's pretty sneaky. Plus, full frontal Bacon. "
Last Seduction" holds up well, too. Hate pretty much all the De Palma on here as anything more than camp.
Some real batshit stinkers here, from Jade to Color Of Night to Body of Evidence to Sliver. Joe Eszterhas, man. This guy went from esteemed journalists to lines like "I guess he got off before he got offed."
Eszterhas once saved the life of a friend while covering an Ohio race riot.

1. Dressed to Kill, 2. Fatal Attraction, 3. Eyes Wide Shut. I like Body Double, and I'd throw in Disclosure, too.

Wild Things is an excellent comedy.

i'm p sure i've told this story before, but in college some friends had a movie night at their house, and for some reason i succeeded in lobbying for both movie picks, and for some reason those movies were "wild things" and "the cook the thief his wife and her lover" and no i was not allowed to pick movies again.

gotta be body double for the soundtrack alone

Dream Lover is currently on Criterion ending this month, and I thought it was entertaining, some offbeat dialogue, good supporting characters and plot turns. And Madchen Amick is beautiful.

Have we talked about The Hot Spot? Dennis Hopper directed 1990 adaptation of the very hood Charles Williams novel about car salesmen, sex and robbery? I lived that book so I’m gonna watch this one asap. May actually start it now, before work.

Well... so far, I like the shots of the small town location. The acting is not particularly great. It's certainly erotic, and certainly a thriller. The sexy stuff can be a lil over the top (already, hardly into the film) but, I'll enjoy it. Probably finish this evening or tomorrow.

It's not the worst, but definitely helps to date the film. The eating-pussy-in-the-car scene was a littttttle extra, if you know what i mean.

Rep theatre screening of Basic Instinct. It really is kind of terrible. Two good things: Sharon Stone's performance--she seems to be the only one who's onto how campy and overwrought it all is--and four Seinfeld people.
