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

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

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

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!

and it's really not like people don't KNOW that Wild Things is a ridiculous movie

I saw it in the cinema and we laughed so much that a guy who was not there to enjoy it in the same way got up and left

This poll was so long ago I forgot what I voted for! I thought I had voted for Jade but obviously not.

I'm not hating! It just, I don't know, didn't seem deliberate in its boring cliches (look, a rowdy classroom! You can tell its rowdy because someone is throwing a paper airplane!) and stuff. I know nothing of the director. It just felt like it was supposed to be dramatic/thrilling in adult way and not a comedy but who knows. I enjoyed it.

Wasn't Bill Murray in this?

But it seemed to take itself seriously though

Also the DVD I picked up for 99c is pan & scan and they did THE WORST job of panning. For fucking real half the film looks like a Jim Blashfield animation.

xp yeah which just added to the wtfness

Wild Things is AWESOME watched it the other night actually. so much fun.

Wasn't Bill Murray in this?

wearing a hat!

I think the only thing it takes "seriously" is the class warfare angle. the Bacon/Dillon thing is BLATANTLY super-gay! part of the joke is how both of them are total amoral pervs!

love McNaughton

Of course it's blatantly super-gay but it was just frustrating that someone somewhere was like "okay just NO KISSING OR TOUCHING bcz that would weird people out"

I'm going to rewatch it soon and maybe I'll have a diff approach but idk maybe I just went into it wrong or it's more deadpan than I realize or something *shrug*

y'know, I've never seen Basic Instinct. how bad is it.

kind of amazing Body Double got zero votes, I'd probably rate that over Dressed to Kill these days

basic instinct is classic
gotta see it!

never been able to find a copy of Poison Ivy tbh

try your local blockbuster

Other thread on these monuments of the filmic arts:

'An erotic thriller'

lol xp

Also,

I love Jade, but any movie starring Caruso should be disqualified from being "erotically thrilling".

= truth bomb

never seen Basic Instinct either, but somehow have read most of two different Ezterhaus books

wait, 80s/90s erotic thrillers... and no "Hot Spot" !!??

As for De Palma, it's almost 90s but "Femme Fatale" was one silly movie (and the main action took place in the street I used to live in !)

I saw Body Double for the first time recently, it's really good fun, particularly the Frankie Goes to Hollywood section, which makes no sense at all but is really fun/sleazy.

yeah the film def ratchets the insanity up a notch for that sequence
