    The Big Picture · The Nicole Kidman Hall of Fame, and ‘Babygirl’ · 0:05:14 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
  3. contrast (contrast): Babygirl → Fatal Attraction. It lacks even the mania of the bunny-boiler Glenn Close film.

    The Big Picture · The Nicole Kidman Hall of Fame, and ‘Babygirl’ · 0:05:42 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)

    The Big Picture · The Nicole Kidman Hall of Fame, and ‘Babygirl’ · 2:16:30 · Halina Reijn (0.90 sure it was them)
  5. unmapped (reappraisal): Fatal Attraction → Adrian Lyne. Lyne has been retroactively inserted into the pantheon; Sliver was not valued in 1993.
    “It is funny how Adrian Lyne has become kind of a like sort of retroactively inserted into the pantheon.”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · Empire of the Sun with Bilge Ebiri · 2:37:06 · Griffin Newman (0.50 sure it was them)

    Blank Check — Patreon · The Game with Brendan Hines (Ad-Free) · 0:28:09 · David Sims (0.40 sure it was them)
  7. lineage (lineage): Domestic Disturbance → Fatal Attraction. Domestic Disturbance is the late, bad entry in the 'from hell' thriller cycle that began with Fatal Attraction.
    “We had this really good run that starts with fatal fatal attraction into the 80s.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Domestic Disturbance’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey · 0:04:54 · Bill Simmons (0.50 sure it was them)
  8. contrast (contrast): Working Girl → Fatal Attraction. Fatal Attraction is the reverse: the professional woman pays for it with the home she lacks.
    “Fatal attraction is also like the reverse of it, right?”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Working Girl’ With Bill Simmons, Amanda Dobbins, and Joanna Robinson · 0:09:07 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)

  10. programming (programming): The War of the Roses → Fatal Attraction. Pair an erotic-thriller double with Roses for a full day of 80s marriage trouble.
    “I think that should be like we get an erotic thriller with both of them and then we watch this”
    The Rewatchables · ‘The War of the Roses’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Amanda Dobbins · 1:32:10 · Mallory Rubin (0.45 sure it was them)
