Body Heat (1981)

During a Florida heat wave, unscrupulous lawyer William Hurt meets and begins an affair with the married Kathleen Turner. They have sultry chemistry and before long, she is convincing him to murder her husband for the inheritance. The setting is ripe for sweat and slow moving fans. Together with a sax-y John Barry score, the scene is perfect for a 1980s noir. In a pair of great supporting roles, J.A. Preston and Ted Danson offer unheeded, level-headed advice and support as Hurt’s friends. The twists and turns are fairly predictable, but that doesn’t stop the gasps from coming when they happen.
