13 Random Thoughts While Watching Exotic Thriller Movies in the 90s: Basic Instinct!

Updated: May 15


Basic Instinct

'Thriller movies in the 90s'

Intro: An exotic-thriller about an emotionally unstable homicide detective Nick Curran (Michael Douglas), who investigates the brutal murder of a rock star. Catherine Tramell (Sharon Stone) a crime novelist and the girlfriend of the murdered singer is the number one suspect. But, things get dicey quickly when Nick is seduced by the beautiful ‘femme fatale’ which placed a hindrance on the investigation and subsequently endangers the lives of those who have a connection to the detective. A film that is best remembered by the infamous scene when Catherine is shown slowly uncrossing and crossing her legs, giving viewers a little something extra.  [wink wink] 😉


Thought #1: Never allow someone to tie you up during sex!


Thought #2: You gotta love movies from the 90's for their loud, dramatic, over-the-top background music, as if to say this music is more important than dialogue between actors.


Thought #3: Major Processed Hair Alert! "We got a runaway Temptations here."

Basic Instinct - Hair Alert! Man gets on elevator with a serious processed due











Thought #4: Catherine asked detective Nick for a cigarette, he said he don't smoke. Then she pulled out her own cigarette and begin to smoke. In the mist of smoking, she offered Nick a cigarette, his response again was, "I don't smoke I quit." Her response, "It won't last." (Major power move, this meant that she was in control from the start)! 


Basic Instinct - Wanna cigarette? Catherine offers Nick a cigarette more than once










Thought #5: A group of male detectives is interrogating her, using a calm sultry voice she's openly talking about how much she likes to have sex, while purposely not wearing underwear during the interview..."This woman knows how the game is played."


Basic Instinct - She's a tease! Catherine seduces the male detectives









Thought #6: Computers have a come a long way baby!


Basic Instinct - Old Computer! Back in the old days when computers looked like mid size boxes











Thought #7: Didn't she say he would start smoking again?


Basic Instinct - Nick is smoking again, just like what Catherine predicted











Thought #8: (#SexyAngryDancing)


Basic Instinct - Sexy Angry Dancing! Catherine's female lover dancing seductively at a club









Thought #9: Detective Nick is incompetent, dangle a beautiful woman in front of him and he loses all focus on the case.


Basic Instinct - Nick is incompetent in his work as a detective












Thought #10: "I had to hit the pause button on this one." When Nick looked up police records on Hazel Dobkins, it clearly states that she was released from San Quentin on July 7, 1965. This would have been impossible, because San Quentin became a men's only prison in 1933.


Basic Instinct - Blink and you'll miss it moment, films always have a slip up scene if you pay close attention













Thought #11: Moments after Gus is murdered, suspicion points to Beth. Although, she is innocent, it didn't help much that she always seemed suspicious.


Basic Instinct - Oh, Beth! She's not a murderer but it didn't help that she always seemed suspicious













Thought #12: While making love to Nick, Catherine's weapon of choice is underneath the bed. "What is it with this chick's obsession with ice picks!"


Basic Instinct - Don't forget your Ice Pick! Catherine's weapon of choice









Thought #13: A woman who is of a 'certain persuasion', who happens to be wealthy and attractive..."Of course she got away with murder, Duh!" 


Basic Instinct - She got away with it
