Product Description
Amazon.com Essential Video
The date movie of the late 1980s, this had everyone arguing in the aisles. Does Michael Douglas deserve the unwanted attention he and his family are receiving at the hands of loony stalker Glenn Close? After a weekend extramarital affair with colleague Close, he returns home to wife Anne Archer, and Close becomes progressively angrier. You might even say she is boiling bunny mad.
Directed by Adrian Lyne, this is not your average thriller, as it garnered six Academy Award nominations. The plot is too obvious, but the dialogue rings true and the intense performances hold the story together. Anne Archer deserves kudos for side-stepping cliché as the strong but frightened wife, and Close is a scream as she chews up the scenery.
The film's original ending, which was reshot after poor preview screenings, has been added to the video release. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Fatal Attraction: Be careful who you sleep with!,
By
This review is from: Fatal Attraction (DVD)
What a movie. Who knew the this movie would be a blockbuster hit. Well it deservied it. It made ever man in America think twice before having an affair! If you liked Obsessed (2009) which I personaly think is a huge rip off of this you will love this 100 times more. Thrills, chills and if you wanna see a crazy women Glenn Close is just amazing and Michael Douglas seems like ever normal married man who gets caught up in this crazy bitches obsession. This is a movie I still enjoy, and will always enjoy one of my favorites! :)

Fatal Attraction (1987),
By Clob Lane (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fatal Attraction (VHS Tape)
Superb suspense flick has Michael Douglas as a man whose one night stand with a woman (Glenn Close) turns into a deadly nightmare when he wants to end the relationship with her and go back to his wife and daughter. Close begins a deadly rampage and will stop at nothing to get Douglas to herself...even if it means murder or suicide to herself. Excellent performances from Close, Douglas and Anne Archer, and wonderfully creative direction and photography. The script is real and believable, which makes the movie all the more frightening. Some very steamy scenes like the kitchen scene and the elevator scene also make this film a wildly enjoyable experience. "Fatal Attraction" definitly deserves its fame and acceptance into film history.

Where's my wedding ring?,
By D. Mikels "It's always Happy Hour here" (Skunk Holler) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fatal Attraction (VHS Tape)
Let's face it: we're guys. Wandering eyes. A perceptive inclination to gander at a short skirt, a hint of cleavage, a heart-pounding hip wiggle. I ran smack dab into a door the last time I gawked, but consider myself darn lucky compared to Michael Douglas' character in FATAL ATTRACTION--a white-knuckled "don't-let-this-happen-to-you" thriller that vividly demonstrates what can happen to a guy when he lets other parts of his anatomy do his thinking for him.Manhattan lawyer Dan Gallagher (Douglas) has it all: successful career, attractive wife, loving daughter. So why not have an extramarital fling with a woman he met at a party while the family is out of town? Sure. Just a one-night stand. No harm, no foul. But there's something very "foul" about Dan's partner in crime, because blonde Alex Forrest (Glenn Close) may have all the right moves in the sack, but she also has an elevator that doesn't go all the way to the top. So when Dan wants to shake hands and part company, Alex will have none of it, and the table is set for a one-way ticket to Looney Land. Let the stalking. . .the suspense. . .the thrills and chills. . .begin. The bathroom scene, in which Dan's frazzled wife Beth (Anne Archer) wipes the steam off the mirror, is worth the price of purchase of this video alone. Director Adrian Lyne (as usual) delivers a gripping, antacid-popping story. The only positive in FATAL ATTRACTION was the fact all this bad stuff happened to an attorney. Like, how sad. I'd like to write more, but I hear the wife calling--something about all the hair in the sink. Don't want to get her riled.
