Erotic Thrillers • Criterion Channel Teaser

I would add Taylor Hackford's Against All Odds and James Foley's After Dark My Sweet. Rachel Ward double feature. Grrrrrr!

I adore Jennifer Tilly 😍 Bravo Criterion.

Blue velvet seems to be the milestone of this modern subgenre,Jade director's cut ??, Heart of midnight could have been here but it's a bit lame, those seems to be film noirs with more modern femme fatale so there is more sex and perversion into it,The hot spot is ok, with a blonde and a brunette...😛🥪

An overlooked and disreputable genre but DePalma, Lynch, Verhoeven and other great luminaries created a vivid visual language, and a rich legacy of cheap and nasty 90s imitations, of modern sexual appetite and ripe sleaze to be cherished.

AKA: What we masturbated to before the internet.

Body Heat 🤌🏽

Hell yeah!

Turns the lights off real slowly

- Eyes Wide Shut is the best.. though it's quite different
- Crash (1996) as well
- The Hot Spot is a great one too
- there's a guilty pleasure of mine called Sliver (1993) with Sharon Stone
- Wild Things is a good as well

'The Last Seduction' is my favourite and also feel 90s cult classic 'Romeo Is Bleeding' should be added. Both just simply amazing films that hold up :-)

Was a prank?

Right on.

absolutely disgusting, you just lost a subscriber. appalled that you would promote such things, you have such a wonderful collection of classic films but you had to run it. back to tcm.

Will these ever be in physical media?

Two Moon Junction, 9 1/2 weeks, Johnny Handsome, Body Heat, Barfly..... basically anything early Rourke, anything with Yummy Marissa Tomeu.... I deny anything with drew Barrymore, Gweneth Paltrow, orJuliaRoberts, and accept everything by default by Linda Forientino, MadelineStowe, and Jennifer Requiem for a Dream 'Ass to Ass love...... 🕊️

A great April Fools prank would have been Showgirls on Criterion. 😂

1)The Bedroom Window
2)Body Heat
3)Bound
4)Call Me
5)Fleshtone
6)The Comfort of Strangers

“I feel used, betrayed & dirty”

Petition for accessible Criterion in Malaysia!

April Fool's? I hope not.

Body Heat
The last seduction
Sex, lies and videotape.

❤

still waiting for the directors cut of Jade

I absolutely love Body Double.

Let's always be talking about Body Double. Love that film!

What is the that film with that crazy shot zooming in on the street right before a glimpse from Crimes of Passion.

THE LAST SEDUCTION. one of my favorite films of all time. every woman should watch this film. every film lover should read the very interesting backstory about the tv/theater/oscar buzz mess. LINDA F. WAS SPECTACULAR!

Eyes wide shut?

Check out Double Indemnity if you watch Body Heat

An extinct Genre in Hollywood

The original Poison Ivy is an amazing erotic thriller, must've seen it a dozen times on cable TV as a teenager.

criterion channel:
me: go to horny jail b o n k

haha, this seems fun, air it! I might buy this channel! It seems pretty cool.

i grew up on erotic thrillers back then during the days of skinemax and late night cable tv. good times.

"Dressed To Kill" FTW!! 🙌💄

Color Of Night - I mean, Poison Ivy is a bit out there for Criterion but Color of Night is like another level of weird.

How about a Jag Mundhra box set?

Should’ve put this collection out in November as a big troll

Choose Me

How bout a Shannon Tweed collection? 😁

And we UK fans...?

I‘m gonna watch all of these!

Color of Night on Criterion? lol Step aside Armageddon!

Great stuff! Would like to see Crash in the mix but I’m definitely gonna watch this series.

Wow!

If ever there was a genre that needs to make a comeback in the mainstream its erotic thrillers
