Carry a Fire Extinguisher: 10 Candid Movies from the 80s and 90s

Why do we love cinema? Sometimes for the fact that it shows the usual life from the other side. And sometimes for the fact that it gives us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in a fantastic, completely unreal new world. Directors masterfully capture the mood of the viewer and help to experience those emotions that he lacked so much.

Erotic movies are also needed by someone. Thanks to provocative films, we learn more about human nature, psychology, about the principles of relationships between people. It is even better when such pictures are shot by truly talented people - we will tell about them.

1. Showgirls, 1995

A film by Paul Verhoeven tells about the closed life of the elite strip clubs in Las Vegas. There is so much frankness in it that at one time it was mercilessly criticized by the press, and the actress who played the main role was forced to end her career after filming. Despite the tough rating and mixed reviews, the picture still became the leader of the box office and entered the history of cinema.

2. "Striptease", 1996

“Striptease” by Andrew Bergman begins to confuse by the poster - for him, Demi Moore starred completely naked. The film, as the title implies, tells about a woman who agreed to work as a stripper in order to resolve a personal drama. A bright, desperate, and insanely frank tape received a lot of Golden Raspberries, but it has not been erased from the memory and hearts of the audience.

3. "Fatal Attraction", 1987

More than a dozen directors refused to make this film, but Adrian Line was not afraid. In the center of the plot is a married lawyer who spends the weekend with a young colleague. The man believes that this affair will remain in the past, but his new acquaintance has other plans. Glenn Close as a female predator is the best thing that has happened to the cinema in the genre of erotic thriller.

4. "Color of the night", 1994

“Color of the Night”, just like “Striptease”, turned out to be inundated with “Golden Raspberries”, but the audience liked the film. This is a kind of response to Richard Rush's "Special Instinct" - for comparison, there are much more sensual scenes in it. The main roles were played by Jane March and Bruce Willis: not a spark broke out between the actors on the set, but a whole fire.

5. "The Postman Always Rings Twice", 1981

The tramp becomes obsessed with the married lady. The lady would hardly have reciprocated the fan if she had not had a special task for him. The duet of Jack Nicholson and Jessica Lange is the first and main reason why the film is a must-see.

6. “Wild Orchid”, 1989

Mickey Rourke plays a world-weary rich man and a professional stealer of women's hearts. He controls an innocent girl, dragging her into the very darkness, not because of unbridled passion, but from banal boredom. After filming the film, Rourke and female lead Carrie Otis got married. By the way, the hot final scene was not staged - they say that the actors could not resist and completely surrendered to their feelings right on the set.

7. "American Gigolo", 1980

The main location of Paul Schrader's film is noir Los Angeles. Richard Gere plays a man who saves wealthy clients from boredom in a dark erotic drama. Unexpectedly, he is involved not only in a mysterious murder but also in a controversial love triangle.

8. "Blue Velvet", 1986

David Lynch has always been able to create a special atmosphere in his films - and "Blue Velvet" was no exception. Young Kyle MacLachlan is immersed in a surreal world full of violence, sex, and manipulation. The drama was filmed in the neo-noir style and is named after a song by Bobby Vinton, which the director repeatedly uses in the film itself.

9. "Indecent Proposal", 1993

The heroes of Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson are a young couple who find themselves in a difficult financial situation. And then, like a genie from a bottle, a mysterious millionaire appears. He is ready to help the spouses, but only on one condition: the woman must spend one night with him. Director Adrian Lyne once again delivers a complex, sometimes provocative, sometimes touching drama about mistakes and fixing them.

10. "Wildness", 1998

“Wildness” is an erotic thriller aimed at millennials. Kevin Bacon, the lead actor, and part-time producer of the film, at first called the script an "abomination", but eventually saw the artistic potential in the idea of ​​John McNaughton and Stephen Peters. Bacon was accompanied by the inimitable Neve Campbell and Denise Richards.
