Saw Body Heat with Kathleen Turner and William Hurt. A steamy noir thriller from 1981 written and directed by Lawrence Kasden (who wrote Empire Strikes Back, funnily enough).
A purposeful throwback to the femme fatale trope. Hurt and Turner are a couple of animals in the movie and are believable/magnetic in their roles.
It's fun because you basically know the whole time where things are going, but they dangle you along as the viewer as Maddie Walker dangles Ned Racine by his cock.
9/10, would watch again, and am considering entering an affair and murdering my lover's husband.
Also, a Mickey Rourke cameo--he's fucking awesome, especially when he's young and handsome. And a young pre-Cheers Ted Danson is featured, and I found him to be very entertaining.
