Blood Simple vs Body Heat
Both fine films, IMO. Only 3 years apart, there are similarities but mostly differences. Both have double cross, but "Simple" is quirkier, whereas "Heat" has palpable physical atmosphere.
Great actors in both. Re "Simple", M. Emmett Walsh can play an intimidating low down bad guy as good as anyone ever could. In "Heat" there are William Hurt, Kathleen Turner, Richard Crenna, and Mickey Rourke. Couldn't get a better cast, even though Hurt and Turner were really just getting noticed.
