In addition to Alive, I recently watched another early-90s production, Basic Instinct.This was an "it's Saturday night and we're surfing Netflix" find, but neither S nor I had seen it, so we went for it. I knew that the movie was somewhat risqué, but I didn't realize what a shock it must have been to regular movie-going audiences 25 years ago. It was shocking to me now! S's comment was classic: "That's very porny for such an old movie." He's not wrong.
The plot is as simple as you might expect: Sharon Stone plays the sex kitten who is suspected of killing her lover. Michael Douglas is the cop who is investigating. Shenanigans ensue.
Bottom line: definitely worth seeing, if only for the role it played in changing movie history in my lifetime.
