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

Swimfan is so funny.

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

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

What that movie needs is JAMES SPADER.

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.

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

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

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.

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????!?!?

COLOR OF NIGHT, OBV

that girl, Jane March, TALK ABOUT FREDDY MERCURY MOUTH. Wow!!!!

the entire movie is on Youtube, enjoy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcYFnMyXKAE&skipcontrinter=1

yesssssssssssssssss

Yeah Jane March had unfortunate teeth. Do you remember when she was poised to be the next big thing? She was in that and The Lover and then I don't think I ever saw her again.

tbf we'd seen pretty much all of her by then

Color Of Night was on TV in Spanish when I was flipping channels the other night

I have not seen Cat People. Should I?

yeah i kinda liked that movie, even though it's a bit unrealistic, but the acting from the leading actors was very nice, ruben blades is a great sidekick, and overall it is atmospheric with it's music score, that's what i like in erotic thrillers, when the music is atmospheric in correlation with the scenery of L.A

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

when I got to the "6 months pass..." break my first thought was "why have I not seen any mandee posts by now?"

why did the genre come to an end lately????

I just said this on the gay thread but Wild Things has to be the most convoluted "film" ever created.

It's basically a farce disguised as an "erotic" "thriller" and has more plot twists than every Hitchcock film combined and ugh jeez it's so ridiculous

It is like Showgirls-level ott/melodramatic/weirdly acted. I mean, "My daughter does NOT get raped in Blue Bay", what???

Like is this regarded as being in the same canon as Showgirls? Why is this not Showgirls-level notorious?

Also pathetic how there's all this nonstop lez action and then when they get to the Bacon/Dillon part that is SO SO FUCKING GAY they just pass it off as like two totally straight dudes just hanging out/being naked/saying things like "why don't you hang around and kick back for an extra day" you know nbd no homo

Wild Things is def the connoisseur's choice here

Like is this regarded as being in the same canon as Showgirls? Why is this not Showgirls-level notorious?

It isn't. Because it's not as much a masterpiece as Showgirls.

Stevie everything you're hating on is being done v v deliberately by Wild Things. It's directed by John McNaughton!
