    the 80s were such a WILD time, like what psychosexual thriller today would include scenes such as: – the main couple paying a small child to fart the theme from jaws – kim basinger clapping like marilyn monroe over a mechanical chicken laying eggs – a montage of mickey rourke feeding kim basinger various foods (& cough syrup???) while “bread and butter” by the newbeats plays – striptease to joe cocker idk gang i had so much fun with this (except for that one awful scene like an hour in which sucks big time & made the latter half significantly less enjoyable than it would have been. first half? 5 stars. extremely fun.) & i always get mickey rourke confused with judge reinhold and louis tomlinson so uhh it was also kinda weird

    I realized after watching this that the used VHS copy that I bought for a buck at my local thrift store had the name of the previous owner scrawled across Mickey Rourke’s chest in faded ink. A little peek into something obsessive, and charged from the past, leaking out into present day. I wonder what Janice is up to nowadays.

    Mickey Rourke bringing Kim Basinger to his ’80s modern apartment, drenched in the diffuse reflected light from surrounding skyscrapers, playing Brian Eno on his high end stereo, seen through rich film grain like some sort of Patrick Nagel fever dream is 10000% my aesthetic.

    Still adore this film. It would be easy to just cynically write this off as MTV: The Motion Picture, a feature-length music video with a lot of dating tacky soft-core elements. But I always find myself getting absolutely swept up in the atmospheric look and emotional journey of this film, and the differentiation and isolation of Mickey Rourke’s character is a great example of how to enhance this sort of film. The use of the Farnsworth character always touches me as well. For what it is, it doesn’t really get any better than this. One of my go-to 80s films, it never fails. Every time I dive back in, I think this might be the time it finally sits there…

    That striptease scene with the leave your hat on needle drop actually altered my brain chemistry, defined me, made me realise i can conquer and that pussy is power. To be a woman is to be a super heroine. Other than that, the film is boring at times, doesn’t have a lot going for it and the male gaze is everywhere written from the opening credits to the closing.

    Woaaaaah! Talk about renewed appreciation! A recent news article about Kim Basinger prompted me to return to this film, after a hiatus of literally 40 years. It was made in 1986, when I’d just turned 18, and started university. It’s now 2026, and I’m 57 years old. I had forgotten how magical and dark this film is, and how amazing Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke are, it’s perhaps one of the sexiest films ever made. But not just that, it’s…

    Film diretto da Adrian Lyne, con una splendida Kim Basinger ed un grande Mickey Rourke. Elizabeth, impiegata in una galleria d’arte, incontra John, agente di cambio. Tra i due nasce una focosa relazione. Cult degli anni ’80 con una sequenza entrata prepotentemente nell’immaginario collettivo. Grande film!!!

    En parlant du loup on en voit la queue…celle de Mickey Rourke pour l’occasion. Un film qui relève davantage du vidéo clip, cher à l’esthétique pub des années 80. Les acteurs sont beaux, sexys en diable, la BO est canon, le film un brin cretin mais on s’en fout. Bref un film à qui on pardonne tout…

    Objektiivisesti tämä ei ole kovin hyvä elokuva, mutta silti tykkään siitä. Kim Basinger ja Mickey Rourke tekevät tämän elokuvan, jos siinä näyttelisi jotkut muut niin se olisi varmasti aika huono ja unohdettu.

    Oh my God, this was so hot! 🔥 Probably a little bit basic story-wise, but the two leads have really good chemistry and, again, it was so hot! 🔥 (Also, the scene where they confront a pair of homophobes, beat them up and then have sex in the most rain-drenched alley you’ve ever seen… iconic, truly.) ✨

    Tal vez creo que le faltó profundidad, sin embargo es una película que describe en el transcurso las dinámicas de control-sumisión en las relaciones sexuales como sentimentales, especialmente la pérdida del deseo de uno mismo por querer satisfacer el del otro. Creo que tienen detalles que pase por desapercibidos pero, a sido una película con una descripción aunque indirecta bastante a la vista de lo que puede llegar a suceder cuando dos personas se complementan de una forma insana, tal…

    “I don’t fast to lose weight, I fast to save money.” I did thoroughly enjoy watching this straight couple in drag get gay bashed. Basinger did make a pretty man tho. I watched this after American Gigolo for stylistic reasons. The clothes and set design were incredible. It was so beautifully shot even when the str8’s fucked in a sewer.

    9 1/2 weeks was incredibly solid and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The focus on Vicki Vale of Batman 1989 fame and famous aging lesbian actor Mickie Rourke (pre-transition) is on display with gorgeous cinematography. Take my word for it she was mighty handsome in her day. Mick wasn’t exactly a nice guy in this film but she put out a hell of a performance while being engulfed in a rich tapestry of bustling 1980’s New York. Vicki mostly hung out at Mickie’s apartment but there is this scene where she stabbed a dude in the butt. That was cool. Overall, I highly recommend!

    I have to ask: was this movie considered a good entry in its genre in the 1980s? Because it was just laughably awful. It was like a bad fever dream concocted by an 80s writer’s room with a bowl of cocaine and a staff who doesn’t understand the adult themes they were going for. 1. The food fridge scene just felt like comedy 2. Way too many times, he should have stopped instead of him insisting that she “enjoyed it”…

    My girlfriend picked out this film and hooked me in with it being a Mickey Rourke film set in 80s New York. It’s a bit 50 Shades of Grey, but I like that it’s very much of its time with the 80s style. My favourite scene was definitely the “You Can Leave Your Hat On” scene.

    This film stayed on screens in France for a few years. They got good taste. Kim Basinger is such a beautiful creature. My goodness. Mickey at the height of his career. Adrian Lyne’s seductive filming, shadows and fog and rain. The best erotic film I’ve seen in my opinion.

    9½ Weeks was clearly a template for 50 Shades of Grey, which I watched yesterday, right down to the similarity between the names of the male protagonists, Christian Grey and John Gray, but there are also some distinct differences. While both films deal with female erotic fantasies and relationships that are primarily based on sex, 9½ Weeks wants to show us what happens when a fantasy becomes reality. To my knowledge, fantasies about relinquishing control, being dominated or even violent…

    “9 1/2 Wochen” war einer der stilprägendsten Filme der Achtzigerjahre und entfachte einen ähnlichen Hype um Sexspielchen, wie ab 2015 die wesentlich schwächere Fifty-Shades-Of-Grey-Reihe. Psychologisch ist Adrian Lynes Verfilmung des gleichnamigen Romans jedoch sehr viel abgründiger, besonders, wenn man das gedrehte, der Vorlage entsprechende, aber aus dem Film geschnittene Finale beherzigt: Kim Basinger erwähnt in einem Interview in Cinema, dass John Elizabeth zuletzt mit Pillen vergiftet, sie dies erst weiterhin mit sich geschehen lässt, sich dann aber lösen kann -…

    Okay, listen: This movie is so problematic for so many reasons!! Emotional manipulation, gaslighting, violation of boundaries, coercion, not to mention the ending is extremely oversimplified and there’s no actual reckoning with or redemption from any of the trauma. If there had been any of that, I’d let some of it slide a bit more. It’s impossible for me to ignore what’s good about it though–like Unfaithful and Indecent Proposal it’s really well executed and I have always loved Lyne’s…

    I’ve always felt this movie had a lot more depth than it’s given credit for. Peter Bizou’s visuals are of course spectacular, but I agree with Ebert on this one. There are admittedly a few silly scenes, but it’s a time capsule film that highlights Lyne’s visual and sexual preoccupations in interesting ways.

    REMEMBER AS: 80s Fifty Shades of Grey PLOT SUMMARY: Divorced art gallery employee Elizabeth (Kim Basinger) meets John (Mickey Rourke), a charming Wall Street arbitrageur. The two quickly embark on an intense, boundary-pushing relationship marked by a lack of emotional communication and… consent. Despite John’s emotional distance and fear of commitment, Elizabeth falls deeply in love with him. Over time, John becomes increasingly controlling, dictating her appearance and causing her to lose her sense of self. Their dynamic deteriorates as…

    Iconico negli Anni Ottanta, etichettato un po’ come una semplice film “erotico-chic” , è in realtà la rappresentazione di un’epoca (tendente solo al bello, all’estetica) e delle sue fragilità (come quelle che ci sono tra una coppia di innamorati che arrivano ad annullarsi l’un l’altro). I giochetti erotici non sono sconvolgenti, ma c’è da pensare alla data di pubblicazione della pellicola (sicuramente innovativi nell’86) – in aggiunta, è impossibile da dimenticare lo spogliarello di Kim Basinger con il mitico Joe…

    THIS SHIT WAS CRAZY. Both Elizabeth and whatever the other guy’s name is needs to be locked up in horny jail. Also that fact that bro said this line in a store is crazy: Spread your legs for daddy Fucking nuts. Brett did not enjoy this, especially the scene where they shove food in their mouths and lick honey off Elizabeth’s body. Idk what to say anymore. I think Lily somewhat liked it more than Brett. Anyways, I would’ve put it higher if he shoved the ice cube up her cooch. I NEED THAT TO HAPPEN DAMN IT!

    To be a freaky gallerina in 80s NYC. Also that apartment, and Bryan Ferry – I would have been naked also. Additionally, my best friend works in art world and she into freaky shit like this so sending her this with the highest recommendation. Hey if you are reading this x

    Weird, decadent, ridiculous movie – constantly jumping over the lines that separate horny/silly, childish/abusive and bizarre/arty. At times a comedy (it even has an 80s montage), at other times a thriller, at other times titillation. It is sold as a movie about sex but it is much more about the power of desperation and need and consumption. Mickey Rourke is probably the weak link and nearly shits the whole thing up – his gormless smirk communicates nothing and makes you…

    Esse filme envelheceu melhor como objeto de análise do que como romance. Funciona menos pela história de amor e mais pelo que revela sobre dinâmicas de poder e dependência emocional. Kim Basinger entrega uma performance sensível e convincente, transmitindo vulnerabilidade mesmo quando o roteiro limita sua personagem. Mickey Rourke constrói um protagonista carismático, mas também inquietante, alternando sedução e controle de forma que pode incomodar … e esse desconforto é parte do impacto do filme. No fim, não é um…

    That punk’s first red flag was leaving her all alone on a Ferris wheel and cheekily walking off with the ride operator. Also, what is it with BDSM characters with the last name “Gray”? First this film, then “Secretary,” and finally, “50 Shades of Grey.”

    Quem nunca passou por uma crise emocional e decidiu ter um jogo psicosexual dependente? No começo eu fiquei eow hetéros , mas conforme o filme passou a dinâmica do não querer racionalmente mas ainda assim desejar situações degradantes ou abusivas me pegou. Porque gostar dw algo que não é bom pra vc? Que você sabe que não vai dar certo… Porque ela precisa dessa adrenalina ? (Autocrítica aqui), e ainda por cima com tanto desejo e apego por isso .…

    ChromiumBlue.com for Wall Street yuppies–Lyne is kind of uniquely perfect for King? It’s hard for me to tell where one ends and the other begins. King definitely inserted the boy drag (see Wild Orchid; he also just loves watching people share clothes), but he couldn’t have come up with the meshing cogs as analogy for sex. I’m reminded of the stranger next to me who cried all through Flashdance lol

    A strange kind of romance between two people bound together by loneliness. The two leads are intensely sensual and get involved in all sorts of rather provocative situations, but the film’s distinctive visual beauty ultimately takes precedence, making everything feel sensual rather than vulgar. That balance felt truly artistic. I particularly liked the memorable use of light and the way the city was portrayed with a sense of loneliness that could only exist in an urban environment.

    Visto in una bollente estate di qualche anno fa con un’amica, e l’unica cosa davvero scottante era il caldo assassino, ventilatori KO inclusi. Altro che erotismo sullo schermo: quello semmai latita, e quando si affaccia sfiora il ridicolo — vedi la scena stile Emiflex, ma con budget e ambizioni ancora più basse. Mickey Rourke e Kim Basinger, ai tempi, sapevano recitare. Peccato che il film sembri fare di tutto per farmelo dimenticare: è piatto, senza un grammo di tensione erotica…

    The movie “9 1/2 Weeks” arrives in a shroud of mystery and scandal, already notorious as the most explicitly sexual big-budget film since “Last Tango in Paris.” I went expecting erotic brinksmanship (how far will its famous stars go in the name of their art?) and came away surprised by how thoughtful the movie is, how clearly it sees what really happens between its characters. That’s not to say the movie isn’t sexy. I suppose a project of this sort…

    I mean, they didn’t have the internet back then, so you made sure you watched these when they came out. I read the book in college and learned that Kris Kristofferson wrote Me and my Bobby McGee, among other things.
