Fatal Attraction

Adrian Lyne directed plenty of sex thrillers in his career, but none of them were quite the zeitgeisty blockbuster that Fatal Attraction was. Glenn Close's legendary performance as a disturbed woman who falls hard for Michael Douglas' unfaithful man remains one of the most fascinating things she's ever done. Her movie annoyed feminists though, especially when Close (against the actress' will) did things you can't really excuse. We didn't love the action-packed ending, but the original conclusion wasn't satisfying either. The best thing Lyne and writer James Dearden do in this film though is give the 2 leads plenty of dimensions and motivations throughout the story. You can pick sides, but it's difficult to see either of them as a true villain. Well, until maybe the last 30 minutes. So leave a little girl's beloved pet in the yard where it belongs, live up to your responsibilities and don't ignore the 454th Ellises' Analysis. Also, listening to a woman lecture you on tape would be an easier task if you have Sparkplug Coffee in your mug. Sparkplug will give you a 20% discount if you apply our promo code ("top100project").

The Rock

Moulin Rouge

The first episode of a non-theme month here in June (and the 743rd overall) gets loud about Baz Luhrmann's bombastic Moulin Rouge. It's the kind of zany project where the director and star of this Par...
