    i was saying to my wife that even the much-lauded horniness of CHALLENGERS pales in comparison to something like BODY HEAT, a movie where kathleen turner literally leads william hurt away to a bathtub with his dick.

    I blame Mickey Rourke being onscreen for 2 minutes in BODY HEAT, and bluesky, for the fact I'm watching one of my favorite movies of all time. My favorite Rourke role and my favorite portrayal of the devil thanks to De Niro. Fantastic cinematography. Watch this movie. 🎥 #filmsky #horrorsky

    One Great Scene: BODY HEAT (1981) Directed by Lawrence Kasdan. William Hurt as Ned & Kathleen Turner as Matty. Matty: You aren't too smart, are you? I like that in a man. Ned: What else do you like? Lazy? Ugly? Horny? I got em all. Matty: You don't look lazy. Brilliant neo-noir! #filmsky 📽🎥🎞🎬

    Back in 1981, a hot summer movie could mean a HOT summer movie, and they didn't come much hotter than Lawrence Kasdan's Body Heat, a steamy noir thriller with William Hurt's lawyer seduced by a devious Kathleen Turner. This taut mystery still plays well today, 4/5 film-authority.com/2025/06/16/b...

    That’s what makes the movie so intriguing. Does he love her? Or is he swept away by sexual intoxication? You can watch the movie from his POV and a second time from hers. Every scene plays two ways. Body Heat is good enough to make film noir play like we had never ever seen it before.

    Shutter Island was, she said tactfully, not for me so rewatching Body Heat. Every time I see the opening credits I remember the "sweatiest movie of all time" joke in the first Cheers episode but never that it's in there because Ted Danson had fourth billing in Body Heat.
