One of the steamiest movies I've ever seen (so far) Kim Basinger only 33 yrs old in this film. And wtf happened to Mickey Rourke? He used to be hot? Wow hahaha

Now I want to raid the fridge ;)

This whole movie exudes sex. So 80's!

Back when Mickey Rourke had a human face.

A little Bird told me to watch this movie

God, mickey rourke was hot!!

I think if I watched this movie right now I'd literally drop dead! The soundtrack alone is SOOO sexy!! THAT'S why Adrian Lyne is SUCH an AWESOME director!!!! I have SUCH admiration for him. He... more

I think if I watched this movie right now I'd literally drop dead! The soundtrack alone is SOOO sexy!! THAT'S why Adrian Lyne is SUCH an AWESOME director!!!! I have SUCH admiration for him. He MUST be a VERY passionate man! I only wish he'd make MORE movies!!!

Forgot how attractive Mickey Rourke once was.

Oh Micky Rourke. Wha happen to you?

Boy, do I love this movie... The soundtrack is so great, I had to download it.

She's got one of those heart-shaped asses. Have you ever had a chick with a heart-shaped ass?

Kathleen Turner was originally offered the female lead role, but turned it down. "Body Heat", yes, think film? No.

Tatum O'Neal turned down the role of Elizabeth. I think she would have been great, but I don't think it would have been the same.

Director Adrian Lyne used emotionally manipulative tactics on Kim Basinger during the shooting to elicit the performance he wanted from the somewhat new actress, which Basinger later criticized harshly. For example, Lyne did not allow Mickey Rourke and Basinger to talk to each other off-set. The two were kept isolated from each other and Lyne would tell Basinger rumors about how Rourke intended to make her like or dislike him so that she would carry that attitude into the scene. Lyne would also offer Rourke performance notes, but Basinger none, in order to unnerve her. In a very unusual and expensive move along these lines, Lyne shot the film sequentially, so that Basinger's actual emotional breakdown over time would be effectively translated to the screen.

In 2008, The two leads ranked #1 on Moviefone's 'The Top 25 Sexiest Movie Couples'.

Body doubles were used for Kim Basinger throughout the movie.

Elizabeth wears white or colorful clothing except when she is with John, when she wears black or grey. See also "Dial M for Murder".

In the end she leaves John, telling him it's too little too late when he tries to tell her about himself. When she walks out the door into the apartment complex courtyard, he whispers to himself that... more

In the end she leaves John, telling him it's too little too late when he tries to tell her about himself. When she walks out the door into the apartment complex courtyard, he whispers to himself that he loves her and that she had better come back in 50 seconds. She doesn't though, and the movie ends with her walking down the lonely streets of the city, crying and thinking about the fact that for nine and a half weeks she had an erotic affair with a perfect stranger.

Elizabeth's world is thrown into chaos as she hungers for John sexually, wanting to know who he really is. However, John is unwilling to give her any kind of hint as to his background. She tries to... more

Elizabeth's world is thrown into chaos as she hungers for John sexually, wanting to know who he really is. However, John is unwilling to give her any kind of hint as to his background. She tries to introduce him to her circle of friends, but he flat out refuses, telling her all he wants is the nights with her--she can have the days with her friends. Slowly Elizabeth becomes increasingly dependent on John--he feeds her in the morning, bathes her, takes care of her, and makes love to her in ways she's never experienced. She finally realizes that their relationhip is unhealthy and is driven to the edge when John starts to have sex with a prostitute in front of her in a dingy motel room. She can't think straight anymore, and is desperately unhappy. She becomes even more confused and upset when her best friend begins a relationship with her ex-husband.

John , a wealthy businessman, seduces a beautiful art assistant, Elizabeth, who is recently divorced after a three-year marriage. He first comes across as funny and adventurous, but it soon becomes clear that's not all John is into. He plays strange sexual games with Liz, blindfolding her and putting ice on her body, making her crawl on the floor to him, and "hypnotizing" her with the sound of a watch he gave her, suggesting that every day at twelve o'clock she think of him touching her.

In the often impersonal city of New York, a city that never sleeps, a city filled with the
shadows and secrets of its citizens, a man and a woman conduct a highly sensual sexual affair.

An erotic story about a woman, the assistant of an art gallery, who gets involved in an impersonal affair with a man. She barely knows about his life, only about the sex games they play, so the relationship begins to get complicated.

Adrian Lyne is best known for directing films that focus on sexually charged characters and often uses natural light, a fog machine and other effects to create eroticized atmospheres.

"Divorced white female. Beautiful, statuesque blonde. Witty. Cultured..."

Such a hot movie! Mickey.... you were beautiful.

while Mickey O`Rouke stil had a face and in this, raw sex appeal. taught me a thing or two and just loved the sound~track!

Watching this for a review I am writing. Haven't seen it since college.

Before Mickey was melting

Vou assistir com o Bruno e depois vamos por o que aprendemos em pratica.

after all the comedy last night, a romance sounds like a good idea.
