Anne Archer, Ellen Hamilton Latzen, Fred Gwynne, Glenn Close, Michael Douglas, Stuart Pankin - Director: Adrian Lyne A happily married New York City lawyer engages in a one-night stand while his wife and child are visiting his in-laws. When he tries to end the affair, she refuses, and initial harassment (phone calls in the middle of the night) escalates until she has terrorized the entire family. Soon the lawyer realizes it's either him or her... and he sets the stage for a final showdown. While his wife (Anne Archer) and daughter are out of town, successful attorney Dan Gallagher (Michael Douglas) has a one-night stand with Alex Forrest (Glenn Close), the publishing executive he has just met. He has no idea what he's getting into. Immediately after the encounter, Dan wants to put the experience behind him, but Alex refuses to let go of their relationship. Driven to madness by his rejection, she turns to violently harassing both Dan and his family. This terrifying morality play, which takes the consequences of infidelity to new heights of horror, became one of 1987's biggest box-office successes.

Rated BBFC 18 by the British Board of Film Classification. Fatal Attraction Reviews: "...An ingeniously teasing style....Sure to spark a lot of cocktail party chatter..."
-- Janet Maslin, New York Times "...The screws are tightened expertly in this suspenseful meller....Glenn Close throws herself into the physical abandon of the early reels with surprising relish, and becomes genuinely frightening..."
-- Cart., Variety "...Glenn Close is infernally brilliant....Lyne's direction here is the tightest and most effective of his career..."
-- Michael Wilmington, Los Angeles Times 3 stars out of 4 -- "[An] iconic 80s movie....Close gives a career performance..."Premiere Fatal Attraction | List Price | $9.98 (You save $2.93) | | Studio | Paramount Home Entertainment | | Orig Year | 1987 | | DVD Encoding | Region 1 | | All Time Sales Rank |  2984  | | CD Universe Part number | 2897598 | | Catalog number | 17624 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Apr 16, 2002 | | Rating | R (MPAA) | | Running Time | 120 Minutes | | Additional Info | Widescreen; Collector's Edition; Subtitled | | Movie Details | Color; Digital Sound; Stereo Sound; Letter Boxed; Widescreen; Collector's Edition; Subtitled; Special Collector's Edition |
Fatal Attraction Movie Review Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars)   How to turn lust into boiling bunny
If you happen to find yourself in a relationship where you answer to another and the "hotty" two offices over is giving you unexpected attention, then this may be the best eleven dollars you ever spend. Take it from a lawyer who specializes in criminal law but who has done divorces for friends, she can pay me now or you can pay me later.
Although this movie probably wouln't change what you ultimately decide, don't tell me "I had no idea" if you pass on this lesson.

 Spooky
Just wondering if this is the reason why the reviewer below lives in a van down by the river now?? I think Glenn Close is highly unattracive, but she is a good psyco head case! Michael Douglas plays your avaerage male DOG in this. He gets what he deserves. His wife should have thrown away the key, or changed the locks. That, or he shoud have been thrown in the pot with the rabbit!! Good film though. If you like this, you'd love Play Misty For ME!!

Wake Up Call For Anyone Married or In a Serious Relationship
Anyone who is married and has any kind of thought about fooling around behind their spouses back, this is the film to watch. It's simply a wake up call. You never really know who you are getting involved with especially if its a one night stand deal. Serious repurcussions could easily follow. Don't judge the book by the cover ladies and gentleman.
I rest my case here. Watch the movie!
