There was a very strange period during the late eighties and early nineties where the world fell under some kind of mass hypnosis, or lost a bet, or something, and Michael Douglas was considered a sex symbol. The foggy-haired star of Wonder Boys and Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps got his rocks off in multiple films, from Disclosure (with Demi Moore) to Fatal Attraction (with Glen Close). The thriller part of Fatal Attraction is far more evident than the erotic element, as Douglas and Close knock boots fairly early on. Sadly Close is unhinged, and Douglas is married, and that is not a good combination. Close starts stalking his family, culminating in the infamous bunny boiling scene. Post-viewing relationship status: Constant paranoia that your partner is cheating, coupled with obsessive monitoring of their texts and of the safety of any and all pets.
