Good later 80s thrillers

Tools    





I recently noticed that there are lot of similarities in the way ghost and fatal attraction movies look and feel despite being different subject matters.
Could you suggest some thrillers where cities look gloomy and dark like in those movies ?



Victim of The Night
I always liked The Jagged Edge. It's a little polished but it's pretty good, was popular at the time, for sure.
Body Heat and Blow Out are a little earlier but they're both very good.
No Way Out's pretty good.
Blood Simple, obviously.
Thief is a favorite.



"How tall is King Kong ?"
The Last Seduction was a favorite of mine. Linda Fiorentino was awesome, in a Wile E. Coyote way, and I really loved the soundtrack. Not sure how it would hold up nowadays, but I have fond memories of it.

1994, though.

Sea of Love (1989) was a good 80s thriller with moments of darkness. Al Pacino and John Goodman made good cop partners using personal ads to track down a killer who leaves the Sea of Love song playing during each murder.
