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

Easy access to online porn = the death of the erotic thriller.

Man, you've been busy!

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

LOL

I mean, it was already established upthread that porn and erotic thrillers do not appeal to the same audience, but I still suspect that many an 80s/90s adolescent was resorting to one in the absence of the other.

The banishment of Joe Eszterhas = the banishment of the erotic thriller.

1992: Sherry Lansing is hired [3] to run Paramount and spends $3.6 million in less than a week, $2.5 million [4] for a two-page outline of Jade by Joe Eszterhas, and $1.1 million [5] for the script Milk Money by John Mattson.

I mean, there's no reason an erotic thriller with Mila Kunis, Lindsay Lohan, and Ruffalo wouldn't be a hit if done well.

pity there were no foreign erotic thrillers in the '80s and '90s.

Imagining the Hollywood remake of Monsieur Hire.

A superior remake of an Amerindie:

Body Double is 100% bravura ridiculousness but Craig Wasson is pretty terrible.

What that movie needs is JAMES SPADER.

Every movie could use a little Spader imo.

what about Diva?

(can't use Spader though)

Online porn is so thrilling.

xp

I love Diva so much. I was sort of obsessed with that movie when I was maybe 13 or 14.

Will Smith and Whitney looked into doing a remake of that for a while.

there are still some seriously terrible non-porn 'erotic thrillers' on the straight-to-DVD/premium cable circuit...i discovered one unintentionally hilarious one that i've been trying to get someone to help me assemble a highlights reel youtube video of, if anyone w/ the technical abilities wants to collaborate on it w/ me.

christ the ending of No Way Out or rather the last third in fact, sinks a really good film up to that point. Sliver is a dreadful piece of garbage.

no Jagged Edge? not very um.. erotic i guess.

Swimfan was a noble '00s experiment in the final frontier of EROTIC THRILLER TEEN MOVIES

SET IN GLISTENING BODIES OF WATER

Swimfan is so funny.

someone in my nabe keeps tagging things with 'swimfan_69' and it makes me laugh every time i see it

No, Body Double is about a hapless dweeb's trip into the world of sleaze.

Spader has too much knowing sleaze in him already. Though I'll give him credit, he fared pretty well as a non-sleazy nerd in Stargate.

I saw Color Of Night in the theater in college, I never forgave my friend for dragging me to see it. Retinal scrubbing continues to this day.

Bound gets my vote. HAWT.

I saw Body Heat when it was first shown in theatres. All I remember is (1) it was boring and not at all erotic, and (2) about every ten minutes someone would complain about how hot it was.

Wasn't Swimfan PG-13? A PG-13 erotic thriller is the very definition of useless.

obsessed is pg-13 too; i feel like it shouldn't be.

Black Swan is kind of an erotic thriller.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Ted Danson dances.

color of night. taught me a lot of things.

i saw body heat pretty recently, i dug it. easy to see why it made kathleen turner a star. mickey rourke and ted danson have fun smaller roles

cat people is one i always wanted really badly to like, but it kinda sucks. nobody has ever been hotter than nastassja kinski was in it though

basic instinct seems like it should be fun junk too, and it sorta is for a while, but i feel like it wears out its welcome pretty fast

the last seduction - actually a good movie

jade - biehn, caruso, friedkin... esterhas. i need to see this

i havent seen bound since the 90s, but i remember digging it a lot back then

wild things is really funny and awesome

eyes wide shut might be the most strikingly shot movie i've ever seen

um..

I was just thinking a few days ago of throwing up a Fatal Attraction/Basic Instinct/Disclosure poll (just rewatched BI for the first time since it came out), but I guess there'd be no point. Loved seeing all the Seinfeld alumni in BI, though it's hard to take the guy who plays Kruger seriously as a bad guy. Confession: I didn't get the ending. If anyone wants to explain the last shot with a suitable spoiler alert--anyone except Newgod--I'd appreciate it. Is it supposed to be ambiguous or incriminating?

SHE DID IT

I thought so, I guess I just over-analyzed that away as being too pat. (So does that mean they go on to get married, and every night for the rest of her life she goes to kill him but has second thoughts?)

sliver is a candidate for the worst movie i've ever seen

Rejected tagline: "If you loved Rear Window and The Tenant, you'll wonder why we bothered."

what's the one where sharon stone and sly stallone bone in the shower? it's probably not even an erotic thriller but it sure was filmed like one.

sharon stone and a minor baldwin iirc

and/or tom berenger

i mean wow

Rocky VII: Fatal Rendezvous? Rocky XIV: Cruel Obsession? Rocky VXIV: Exotic Intruder?

The Specialist, dudes.

My college paper ran a still of Stallone from that film, ripped and veiny, that just read "looks like a penis."

The government taught him how to kill. Now, he's using his skills to help one woman seek revenge against the Miami underworld.

HOW DID I MISS THIS POLL????!?!?
