If you haven't seen the film, you've probably heard the title of this movie, an erotic thriller starring Bridget Fonda as a woman who splits from her boyfriend and needs somebody not weird to move in cover the cost of rent. Cue Jennifer Jason Lee, who does exactly that - and becomes really, super creepy in the process. Single White Female isn't the best film ever made, but it's tense as hell and as an erotic thriller it pushes all the right buttons from start to finish, mostly because its leading actresses spend most of the picture walking about the nude. Still, it's the kind of great trash that you start watching and have to see out to the very end for the sake of your sanity. Both Fonda and Lee are excellent, and though the movie divided a lot of critics, it has since been ingrained in the pantheons of popular culture.
