I'm a huge fan of the band, Front 242, and their song, “Rhythm of Time”, is featured during one sequence.

Oh man I completely forgot about that. True story - first CD I ever bought was a 242 disc before I even had a CD player. Saw them live like 20 years ago, it was amazing.

Haven't seen this since it came out on VHS but I'd be up to revisiting it again. I miss seeing Bridget Fonda in films, she was such a great talent. So is Jennifer Jason Leigh. It's funny that their dads also played adversaries in Dirty Mary Crazy Larry.

"One, you lock the target..."

I wish I'd seen those guys live.

As for Single White Female, I'd been hoping there would be a Blu-ray release of this one. A definite buy for me.

DenOfEarth · 07-21-2018, 04:12 AM

I was hoping Scream would do this and the wish came true!

Really underrated thriller this one is and saw it in theaters with my parents when i was 11 and i'm gonna get rid of my DVD to get this replacement very soon.

Tell me about it.

JackForrester · 07-21-2018, 04:18 AM

Easily one of my favorite thrillers from the 90's. Fonda and Leigh are both terrific. Can't wait to see it in HD.

Talal86 · 07-21-2018, 11:58 PM

these obsessive psycho movies are like fast food, but this is one of the better ones. I'll probably buy it

TXMoviebuff77 · 07-22-2018, 12:04 AM

I'll pick this one up, nice little twisted thriller.

And they disappeared! At least I never saw them much after.

postmodel · 07-22-2018, 12:52 AM

Leigh has been around if you know where to look. Especially more recently. I love her so much.

Fonda apparently stopped working once she married Danny Elfman, which I always forget.

Cremildo · 07-22-2018, 01:00 AM

Yeah, Leigh has always been around, mostly in smaller, independent movies, save for the occasional studio gig like Road to Perdition. She's had a kind of resurgence in the past few years, what with her Oscar-nominated turn in The Hateful Eight and more recently in Annihilation and Twin Peaks.

sb5 · 07-22-2018, 01:01 AM

Leigh has been having a bit of a resurgence lately (The Hateful Eight, Annihilation, Twin Peaks: The Return, Patrick Melrose). Would like to see Fonda return at some point.

Doubt Fonda will return to acting, pretty much turned hipster & well living off hubby Danny Elfman, plus she was kinda treated like shit even before the whole MeToo movement.

samlop10 · 07-22-2018, 05:54 AM

Perhaps my favorite obsession-turns-murderous movie. Both leading ladies do a phenomenal acting job and the whole psychological aspect is well explored. On the one hand I like the cathartic climax which turns slashery, on the other it’s interesting to see how films about obsession have evolved, with films like Ingrid Goes West which is more self aware, ironic, and uses social media as the medium through which obsession is carried out. How times have changed. Either way, very excited to get this and I hope the transfer and extras are good. If anyone got the newer DVD, it came with a booklet with a nice essay which included comments from Luciano Tovoli, the same cinematographer who also worked on Suspiria (1979). Will definitely keep the DVD at least for that booklet.

Jennifer Jason Leigh is great. I've always liked her. I recently watched the Kino blu-ray of Rush and she was fantastic in that. I would have liked to have seen her win the Oscar for Hateful Eight because she'd deserve it. She is far more talented than many higher profile actresses but doesn't get the recognition she deserves because so many of her films have been low-budget indie films that fly under the radar (the topic of this thread excepted of course).

She was really good in a movie years ago called Georgia... Where she played a damaged hippie rockstar wannabe who couldn't measure up to her older folk singing sister (played by Mere Winninham). Mere pretty much got all the award buzz for that movie instead of JJL and it didn't make sense.
