Body Heat

Pros: stylish, ironically ahead of its time, good twists, killer ending
Cons: some silly stuff and plot holes

There's a lawyer, in my neck of the woods, who has a face as goofy as Gomer Pyle's - and yet he pays good money to plaster that face onto TV ads, billboards and the backs of phone books. Watching the 1981 film, Body Heat, I had a sense of what that guy ...

Pros: Turner & Hurt - SINsational!
Cons: None

A wildly sensual movie starring William Hurt and Kathleen Turner, in her screen debut. Turner, a fine southern gal, married to the embarrassingly wealthy Richard Crenna, has a itch that needs scratched. Just a little blase' about her long suffering...

Pros: This sexy, corkscrew suspense film, full of warm Gulf atmosphere, gets better on every sitting.
Cons: You may have to see it twice just to conclude that its all perfectly logical.

All the people involved with BODY HEAT (1981) may look back on their work here as a Personal Best, or close to it.

Pros: engrossing drama, excellent acting, rock-solid plot
Cons: it ended!!

Generally speaking, I hate movies. So often, like a bad meal at a good restaurant, something grand was expected, but not received...bland..not satisfying.

But then there's Body Heat.

My all-time favorite movie--I have watched this...

Pros: Kathleen Turner's performance! Terrific ending.
Cons: Absolutely none

Body Heat is probably the best underrated film of the 80's. I would go out of the way to say it is one of my 10 favorite films of all time. There, I've said it! I am ashamed myself to say I did not see it for the first time until only a few years ago....

Pros: suspenseful, unpredictable
Cons: drags in beginning

WOW. Is this movie HOT HOT HOT. Ned is an average single man who works as a lawyer and gets into more trouble than his law background can get him out of when he gets involved with an attractive, rich, lonely woman(Not a good combination).
When I...
