Body Heat

[Sega Genesis]

Just came across this film last night, does anyone remember it? It's from 1981, I think I may have rented it years ago but anyway... William Hurt was mesmerizing, I think this may have been his BEST performance!

You guys talk about cold approach? Here's a clip of him (as Ned Racine) initially approaching Matty Walker (Kathleen Turner)... I think his delivery is what makes it (and him) so mesmerizing though. You be the judge....

Not too shabby, except for offering to buy her something

Offering to buy her a drink or a snowcone?
I thought it was pretty smooth actually.

You guys.. lol

I'm not saying "Don't buy her something small early on". Offering to do so verbally often comes across weak and desperate

Sometimes it can but certainly not in the way Ned did. And the way he sugued into buying the out-of-town husband a drink too and the rest of it?

Perfect! I watched the movie three times already since renting it two nights ago. Lol

I may have to purchase it. It was that good and I've been getting bored with most films lately.

It's a remake of a old film noir Double Indemnity which I've never seen and will have to stream that one too.

William Hurt was mesmerizing though, what a great actor. I'm gonna have to check out his other films from the 80s.

This type of suave banter in my opinion would rarely work in the real world. From experience you need a real friendly, friendship brotherly type of vibe as if you knew her and ‘ been there, done that’ with her. Just act real comfortable and the sparks are going to fly.
