Fatal Attraction (1987)
Great thriller, seriously creepy and nicely shot. I guess the 80’s were when it was finally OK to tell a story about adultery. Lyne’s definitely got a very specific niche. Douglas nails it with a great performance, only he is upstaged by Close. Close is scary and scary good, Oscar-worthy.…

Blood Diamond (2006)
