Body Double, The Last Seduction, and Body Heat are all among the greatest erotic thriller movies that all film fans should watch at least once.

John Dahl‘s The Last Seduction received pretty unanimous critical acclaim and a disappointing level of exposure. Linda Fiorentino delivers one of the greatest performances in all of film noir as the ruthless Bridget Gregory, a Manhattan telemarketing manager who absconds with nearly a million dollars she pushed her husband (Bill Pullman) to acquire in a drug deal.
Neo-noir is so often about shades of grey, and The Last Seduction is all the more remarkable for giving us an unambiguously bad human being front-and-center. Pullman is terrific as the sleazeball scorned husband, as is Peter Berg as the fall guy in Bridget’s last big score, but neither of the men are really sympathetic, so it’s a surprising amount of fun watching this all-timer femme fatale circle her prey, even as her actions become increasingly more beastly.
