Body Heat
Originally released: 1981
Kasdan paired William Hurt and Kathleen Turner to sizzling effect in this neo-noir revenge thriller for the early 80s baby boomers. Turner seduces Hurt and then convinces him to help kill her man. If only Bill had gone to the cinema more often... Kasdan takes obvious glee in his noir conundrums and exploiting Turner at her vampish best in the femme fatale role. She was never this good again. This established Kasdan as a player beyond his origins as a scripter for George Lucas.
