Cruel Intentions
Cruel IntentionsQuote: Cruel Intentions is a 1999 American drama film starring Ryan Phillippe, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Reese Witherspoon, and Selma Blair. The movie is a comedic and dramatic appropriation of the 18th-century French epistolary novel Les Liaisons dangereuses by Laclos, but unlike other modern film versions of the novel set in the France of that time (such as Dangerous Liaisons and Valmont) Cruel Intentions is set among the wealthy teenagers living in modern New York City. The plot is mainly driven by a bet held between the two main characters, and it heavily involves manipulation, seduction, and love in a rich and sophisticated socially elite youth atmosphere. The film started as an independent film with a much smaller budget, and was later picked up by Columbia Pictures. The film was released on March 5, 1999. It was later followed by two direct-to-video films: a prequel, Cruel Intentions 2, and a sequel, Cruel Intentions 3. I always wanted to see this. Sarah Michelle Gellar + Reese Witherspoon = Great Movie

You should see it Zingy, it's a great movie for what it is. :wink:
I haven't seen Dangerous Liasons yet but Cruel Intentions is one of my guilty pleasures and definatly not an average teen movie. Impressive performances all around. Gellar and Phillippe both give surprisingly fantastic performances. Witherspoon and Blair are both great in their supporting roles as well.
Also the soundtrack rocks, especially Bittersweet Symphony.

Love it too, especially when it's employed in the movie, in the ending.

Wow! I have usually taken to Dr. Lecter's taste in movies, so if this is in his Top 25, where can I go wrong?
My girlfriend LOVES this movie. She stressed over Christmas on getting it at Walmart or some place. She was INCREDIBLY pissed off to find out that I found it at my Walmart, but I had already bought Corner Gas Season 1 (Canadian series), Don't Say a Word, Die Hard and Stripes on DVD. I convinced my mom to take me back, and it was either this or The Good Girl. Seeing as how I never saw The Good Girl or Cruel Intentions, I went on getting a nice kick out of seeing my girlfriend upset (needn't forget she doesn't live near me), and she was! I showed her on the webcamera, and she flipped!

Okay, I'll just ask this. For.. my friend.
.... My friend wants to know if there is, well .. you know, sexual situations in this movie. Possibly between Reese Witherspoon and Sarah Michelle Gellar? And, uh ... is it like ... a hard R rating?
Once again, this is for a friend.

Gellar/Blair!?! My friend says "wtf!?".
Blair isn't that hot. She's alright. Now, if it was Gellar/Witherspoon... .
This talk reminds me of Wild Things.
I need .. I mean, my friend needs to watch that again.

As Homer Simpson would say ...
"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.. boooobies."
I'm renting this movie ASAP. :Jump:
I mean... my friend will be renting this. And I will be at his house. Studying it. Carefully. For... uh... my health class. Umm, we're learning about ... the vagina... and ... boobie licking/groping. I'm doing it for the sake of education, dammit!

My friend is now extremely disturbed. It was bad enough seeing Brad Pitt, Colin Farrell, and Will Smith's butt in the same year in various movies! God, can't directs stick to women. :wink:

Yesh.
I love this movie.
The one major problem with it is how preppy Ryan Phillipe's character is. It's just...not...fitting. No one speaks THAT formally. Well, no one who can fuck everyone in New York.
Some scenes drag on, but even those are made up for with a killer soundtrack and Witherspoon's looks.
A good guilty pleasure. A

This upsets ... my friend.

I think there's two topless girls on a deleted scene on the DVD... Hah. I need to go digging for my copy of Cruel Intentions, it's hidden in my closet. I think it's time to just put it on my DVD shelf.

Wow, some great reviews all around. Aside from Ryan's ass, I might like this movie afterall. Once I'm done with my Alias Season 3 viewing, I'll watch this and post a review. Zing, since we seem to have the relative same taste in movies (except for your love for Alien vs. Predator), you may want to wait, even with my bias for Sarah Michelle and Reese. :wink:
