Single White Female (1992)

Yes! I very much wanted Steven Weber to come in my mouth. Hot scene!

Where the hell have you been?

great film. 27 years ago

I very clearly stated I rewatched it dumbasses

R4 told you THEN so they wouldn't have to tell you NOW

I agree. I thought Steve Weber was really sexy in this. The scene where JJL blows Weber was hot.

And then she kills him... poor thing.

R4. That was a line from the film — not busting on you. I still use it to this day when someone is late. JJ Leigh says it to Fonda when Fonda comes home late and Leigh is beginning to truly spiral. Leigh’s hair is all messed up. She’s in some Ratty smock dress. Marta closes on on her face and she snarls out “where the hell have you been?”

^ camera closes in... not Marta

I wanted to suck his dick

I love this movie too, OP! We’ve all known girls like JJL’s character to a very slight degree. I could never get past Steven Weber making the jump from TV to film though. Like he’s motherfucking Woody Harrelson. Besides, Weber has never had the essence, what the great Keifer Sutherland calls — gravitas. Fuck you, Weber, for biting off way more than you could ever chew. There, I said it. He’s what’s always kept this film from being in the same conversation with the Basic Instincts and Fatal Attractions of the period’s milieu.

Steven Weber was sexy in this and was a sitcom star that even did nudity to show commitment.

Swinging dick is a circus trick, R12. Now you’re embarrassing both of us. He looked lost up there. Like a third-string rookie trying to keep up with the starting varsity team.

Love this movie. And poor JJLs character did get screwed around by Fonda's.

He did well

Fonda picked a succession of mediocre films afterward that performed poorly at the box office. Then she faded away.

She should make a comeback.

Jennifer is extraordinarily talented.

Are you outing Fonda as a lesbian?

I wish I was the one sucking his dick

I always wonder why they needed to include 'white' in the title. Or that the character put it in her roommate ad. No coloreds need apply?

R21 I remember about 15 years ago reading a thread about just that on IMDb (man I miss their threads). People were wondering the same and some said back then it was normal for someone to post “white” or “black” etc. and that people tended to do that. Not everyone did but many did, especially white transplants that would feel safer etc. with another white person.

But it wasn’t uncommon supposedly.

Ummm, she's not asking for a single WHITE female, she's referring to herself as one (and doing it as SWF, which saved money on words in the ad) and only asking for another single female, no color distinction. The ad is on the fucking poster, you morons.

I love this movie. I watched it with my mom when I as a teen and she was just horrified. She thought it was absolutely stupid.

You’re mom wanted to suck Steven Weber dry, too. Of course she kept that to herself.

Has anyone seen the sequel??

R26 no but I heard it’s absolutely terrible.

I'm still waiting for Jennifer Jason Leigh to start moving her upper lip when she recites dialogue.

Lifetime will be doing a black version of this I'm sure.

The film was based on a book called 'SWF Seeks Same' which was what people used to put in ads.

Seems same means she wanted a another Single WHITE Female! So that asshole up thread mouthing off can fuck off.

I would never let r23 finish in my mouth!

R29 followed by a remake of The Hand That Rocks The Cradle.

I watch it on mute for the rent-controlled apartment.

My co-worker has a rent controlled apartment in Williamsburg and she pays $550 a month for a 2 bedroom.

Death by shoe....

Who gives a fuck what the book says? No one even knew a book existed. We're talking about the movie which doesn't specify that Fonda's character was looking for a specific race. Fuck, you're an idiot. You can't even type properly.

Didn't she end up interviewing a black or asian woman during that potential roommate montage? I think the last time I saw it was in TBS in the late 90's, so my memory might be a little blurry, but I could have sworn she interviewed someone who wasn't white.

It's a great movie, though. I miss those early 90's yuppies in peril movies.

They should make films like this again

R39 those types of films usually go straight to Netflix nowadays.

Maybe Ben Afflecks erotic thriller that comes out next year will be a hit and revive the genre

Do you remember that weird shower that resembled an industrial art project? I thought it was a odd but wanted one so bad so I could sit on the metal bars like JJL.

Weber was hot in this

R41

Ben Affleck and erotic thriller?

The sex life of Walruses, maybe.

R23 was right, she only specifies she wants a female! We've been schooled for our knee-jerk response! It's here on the poster.

I too watched it when I was a kid in the 90s but I think the (Irish) TV channel must have cut Stephen Weber's dick flash.. I would have remembered that! I do recall the great scene where she uses her stiletto!

I saw it on HBO and that’s how I saw the cock flash.

The early 90's was a terrible time for horror besides Exorcist III and Candyman, but the "psychological thriller" genre was really at its height thanks to movies like Misery and Silence of the Lambs. Suddenly, bigger name stars were starring in basically glorified slasher films like this and The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. It was nice to see these movies with big stars and big budgets and a little more character development than usual.

I'd love to see more "yuppies in peril" movies these days that aren't awful Lifetime movies.

In that poster at R45 I can see AnnE in the remake!

The Roommate that came out a few years ago is a remake

I really like the cheesy Julia Roberts movie Sleeping with the Enemy. She flees her Abusive husband who bears a striking resemblance to Manos, changes her identity and gives herself a boho makeover.

Sleeping With the Enemy is pure cheesy entertainment. I love how most of the movie has zero narration whatsoever, but there's that one scene where Julia Roberts comes on to explain to the audience how she faked her death during the montage of her learning how to swim. It makes me laugh for some reason and feels like some test audience complained that they never found out how she escaped, so they added it at the last minute.

Gayish variation.

R49 Leighton's character was a bit more unhinged than JJLs. That belly button scene always makes me wince.

R50 Sleeping With The Enemy is kind of weird in that it starts off as this serious thriller and then in the second half becomes a romcom. The scene with the gay teacher always makes me laugh because it seems like it should be in a different movie.

There were some porn take off of this. The gay porn version was "Single White Male" with Rob Cryson play the obsessed character. He didn't give a bad acting performance (for porn standards).

Then there was a tranny take of too, entitled "Singe White Shemale."

The Roommate came out 8 years ago already?! Time flies!

R56 it really does.

OP = The Aspie Redundant Thread Copycat. A total psycho who just couldn't help itself starting a whole new thread based on pop culture mentioned in another thread -- because it has no life, taste or knowledge of its own and it has to steal observations from other people for social currency.

Please read the thread below, where we caught the Redundant Thread Copycat repeating and re-discussing the same movie THE FLUFFER this summer just one month apart. Scroll down to Reply #46 where I correctly predicted it would start this whole, new thread on SINGLE WHITE FEMALE because I compared it to the lead psycho who doesn't have ideas of her own, so she tries to ingratiate herself with normal people by copying them.

Then F&F the broken-record parasite and encourage him to seek medical treatment and other patients with his condition in his hometown instead of cyberstalking and leeching all day.

It's really an autistic, psychotic compulsion. The OP couldn't stop himself but the mental illness is pollution, plagiarism and a nuisance on the internet.

Seek help R58.

[quote]Sleeping With The Enemy is kind of weird in that it starts off as this serious thriller and then in the second half becomes a romcom

Complete with a standard issue romcom cliche---a montage of the cute couple goofing around while they try on outfits at a store, set to jaunty music.

What’s the Fluffer about?

r61 wrong thread lmao

There is a thread for it

R14 Yes I said the same thing too! It caused quite a fight with my boyfriend when we both watched recently. He could not see it that way. I love you.

How did JJL's character get screwed around by Fonda's?

R64 When Hedy (JJL) first moved in, she asked Allie (Fonda) did she think she would get back with the boyfriend, causing her to have to move out and Fonda told her NO. Now, if you moved into a place and your roommate told you had nothing to worry about and then turns around weeks later and says "oops we're getting back together. You have to move out". You would be tight. Also, Fonda was the first one to go snooping in JJL's room. Another thing in real life, if you caught your new roommate snooping in your room you would be like WTF. Fonda was the one who stood in the hall like a creep and watched JJL masturbate. Fonda almost gets raped and comes crying to JJL. JJL calls the POS and puts him in his place. Fonda looks at her like she's crazy and says, "Gee, I hope you never get mad at me Hedy". The fuck? Like a real friend, JJL stood up for Fonda. Also, Fonda's character was the first one to want to share clothes and shit. All of a sudden Hedy (JJL) is a freak for taking a liking to Fonda's style. And then Fonda called Hedy's parents. For what? Imagine a roommate from Craigslist going through your shit and then calling your estranged family to tell them what you were doing. You would be PISSED. JJL's character definitely went nuts and no one deserved to die but Fonda's Allie was no innocent victim. I just don't like how they immediately want you to say Hedy is bad when in the beginning it was Allie who was being the weirdo who thought nothing of her actions.

Also, Hedy caught Allie talking shit about her with the gay friend through the vent. Something else that would trigger someone.

R65

Pacific Heights is another decent film (from 1990) that fits in this genre. Michael Keaton fucks up the lives of his landlords, played by Matthew Modine and Melanie Griffith.

R67 ❤

I love this movie

Steven Weber's tight bare butt and low-hanging balls were hot hot hot.

R71 there was a shot of his balls??

It's been so long since I've seen this, but I love reading about it and how morally ambiguous it is. Allie is just as much to blame as Hedy. In the same way Dan deserves much of what comes to him from Alex in Fatal Attraction. I like when the protagonists aren't exactly blame free. I always draw the line when Hedy kills the dog and Alex kills the puppy. Once they do that, I can't wait for those evil cunts to die. Up until that point, I was rooting for them.

This movie is a scream! Just watched it while smoking copious pot.

The strawberry muffin hair.

Fonda’s chic business attire.

Stiletto to the eye

The gay guy survives!

R73, when did Alex kill a puppy?

R73 R75 She didn't kill the dog. She boiled the bunny.

See Steven cum.

Cum, Steven, cum.

Also notice his tight ass and low-hanging balls.

Weber was one of my first crushes.

I always find that scene hot. First I love the way it's shot with Hedra's face down in Sam's cock and a nice side view of Weber. Plus that subtle hint that Sam likes the blow job. He doesn't pull her head away.

And like she said, he came in her mouth.

That clip didn't show where she drunk a glass of wine after she swallowed his cum.

It's playing now on a Canadian channel and I forgot how good it is. I forgot what a good actress Jennifer Jason Leigh is (BTW, fuck that piece of shit Noah Baumbach). She really is a risk-taker. I don't think anyone could have played this role like she did.

They would never make this movie today (not just the title). The nudity. You would never see all three leads nowadays do a nude scene in the same film.

And, yes, Hedy did get screwed around. Allie was such a wet mop. She actually thought Hedy went too far??? The fucking creep tried to rape you. If I was Hedy, I would have went over to his house and told his wife.
