Body Heat: my husband and I disagree on whether she *really* loved him or was just using him. I think the latter.
A Simple Plan: a feeling of doom for the whole movie. And you would be right. Has been described as a neo-noir crime thriller. Bill Paxton, Billy Bob Thornton are very good.

Love that movie. And as far as I'm concerned, you are absolutely right...she was definitely using him from the very beginning.

Been a long time, but remember that scene in the bar when his fellow lawyer says he had met Matty and she was asking about lawyers who had a black mark in their past. That was clincher. Even William Hurt knew it then.

To My Fellow Fans of Body Heat,

I agree. She set him up from the start. No question about it. That meeting was no accident. She knew he would hit on her when she walked by.

In an early scene, if you watch closely, you will see a clown driving a car. -- I saw that scene as foreshadowing. I assume the director did, too. Anyway, William Hurt most certainly was Matty's clown.

I seldom watch movies more than once, but this one I have seen about 4 times, since 1981.......might make it 5.

Absolutely!

How could I have forgotten to include anything with Tom Hanks?
