9 1/2 Weeks (DVD, 2000, Director's Cut; Uncut, Uncensored Version)

I consider 9 1/2 weeks a masterpiece because it took Elizabeth McNeil's' book that would shock many, and from that created a lovely movie, truly mesmerizing.
Mickey Rourke's performance is UNBELIVABLE-subtle, seductive, mysterious,and so adorable, and it has enough close-ups of his face to truly inform the viewer. The exact same goes for Kim Basinger. This is one hell of a lot more than a sexy movie-it is a study in well-defined characters, where issues of love, control, domination, and submission, and also loss, are blended in a beautifully photographed, tight screenplay, with beautiful music and songs. It is not a simple movie, and not a "feel good" movie, and it does not contain even one boring scene.

This movie takes the viewer on a journey into a hot, sexy romance that turns into an obsessive power game... ending the relationship after only 9 and a half weeks of steamy excitment. Kim Bassinger has never been more delicious and beautiful. Micky Rourke plays a mysterious, handsome bachelor that knows how to get what he wants from women. He is intrigued by her but gets a perverse thrill by using his talents to make her angry and then uses his charm to be forgiven for it. He uses money, control and manipulation to get different responses from his new lady and takes the game a little further with each passing date. When he uses her as a plaything to get a thrill with another woman, he has gone too far and she has to draw the line... Although her love for him is genuine, she knows that he can't love her in the way she wants or needs... The detached bachelor ultimately realizes he has genuine feelings for her....hoping his games will keep the romance alive but it's too late...the spell is broken forever..

This wasn't a deep movie but I did enjoy the way John's character unfolded and his softer revealing side at the end. Elizabeth's submissiveness wasn't appealing to me and I would have enjoyed a more feminist woman. I felt that the story line was shallow. The cinematography was well done and from an arty point of you enticing. I think Last Tango In Paris was deeper, also beautifully rendered, exceptionally well acted and much more powerul.

I remembered thi smovie from the year it came out. I recalled the erotic love scenes. Forgot the end. Great as foreplay for fun sex.

This is one of a kind movie, that provides you with so many emotions at one time. I just love the way the movie is composed. This is trully one of the movies you need to have in your collection.

Love the movie but it's a bit low. Having to raise the volume.
Otherwise it's great and watched in twice... Quick shipper reasonable price for item and great shipping and packing.. Thans a mil

DVD was in excellent condition. No skips or blanks when I watched it. Added it to my Mickey Rourke collection. DVD was a great price and I will order from ebay again.

highly recomended es una excelente pelicula despues de muchos meses tratando de conseguirla en tiendas aqui fue el unico lugar en donde la encontre altamente recomendable

The title of this film refers to the length of the relationship between Wall Street investor, John Grey, (played by Mickey Rourke) and an art gallery employee, Elizabeth McGraw (Kim Basinger). The two meet, coincidentally, and begin a passionate, 9 1/2 week relationship.

The film depicts them in a variety of diverse sexual and erotic acts, including the infamous scene in which John teases Elizabeth's body with ice, while she's blindfolded; a scene in which John spoon feeds Elizabeth different kinds of foods while her eyes are closed; a scene in which Elizabeth has sex with her partner in a rainy alley stairway; and Basinger's now famous striptease to Randy Newman's "You Can Leave Your Hat On."

Unfortunately, such intensity inevitably spirals downward, as John pushes Elizabeth's boundaries toward an emotional breakdown. He frequently manipulates her into getting what he wants during sex, and sometimes abuses her, when she unable to resist.

Like the movie itself, I began being interested and aroused; but as the manipulation, and abusiveness, accelerated, I decelerated. I hate to seem sentimental about a film that is not sentimental, but when the people disappear, and the sex acts become all there is - it bottoms out.

have somebody attractive over to watch it; just don't play it all the way through.

Mickey Rourke shines in this 1986 movie as John about a very sexual relationship between two people in New York City. Kim Basinger plays the beautiful Elizabeth, an art dealer who at first seems to have the upper hand but soon falls under the spell of John.

Already having been married and divorced, Elizabeth is still no match for John, who seduces her over and over--each time in a more challenging and sometimes more brutal way. She gets angry with him time and time again, but with his charms and presents she always comes back for more until.... In a last ditch effort to save the relationship, John opens up about his past. But does it do any good?

This 1986 movie belongs to Mickey Rourke. He is amazingly handsome and charming. Kim Basinger is extremely beautiful and very erotic. But it is she who announces what we know from the beginning from the title of the movie: This relationship is doomed; it can only last 9-1/2 weeks. She finally says the ultimate: "We both knew it was over when one of us said 'Stop!'"

This movie's closest relative is "Body Heat," which to me was far superior. Both are erotic movies but the plot in "Body Heat" is much better. This movie, however, has its redeeming scenes. I am especially fond of the chapter when Elizabeth wants to be treated like one of the boys. And the food scene is good too. And the scene with ice. I could go on and on.

Watch this movie for a visual treat. But don't expect much more. And this movie is definitely not for children.

MICKEY LEAVES KIM AND THE FINANCIAL BUSINESS. MOVES ON TO BECOME AN OVERWEIGHT WRESTLER, IS NOMINATED FOR ACADEMY AWARD, BUT GETS REJECTED BY ATTRACTIVE YOUNG ACTRESS WHO PREFERS MARYLIN MANSON INSTEAD. REALITY IS STRANGER THAN FICTION.

Enjoy watching Mickey Rourke & Kim Bassinger perform together and separately; have other films by both of them; next best thing to porn w/out it being porn; imagine 9 1/2 Weeks of raw sex

very fast service thank you, item arrived in excellent condition and just in time for me to give it as a gift

The movie is just as I remember, very erotic. The movie is very simple to today's standards but it's one to spark some new (or old) fantasies. Makes you want to go to the grocery store!

I couldn't find this movie in any store and glad I found it here.The movie was new and in excellent condition.one I'll never get tired of!

A classic, sexy movie, which I have on VHS but wanted a better copy on DVD.
Plus, with DVD, you get all the special features. This will always be a sexy film.

I attempted to purchase this movie. I had not recieved it in three weeks so I tried three times to contact the seller with no response. So I proceeded to contact Paypal who I used to pay immediately for the item I had not recieved. Within 10 days they had esolved the issue and issued me a refund. I did want the movie. Don't know what happend with the seller, Had great feedback prior to this incident.

I wanted to buy it because it's legendary. I was expecting more. I think it was probably in line with the time it was filmed, but today's movies give you a little more. It was still nice though. It was cool to see John seduce Elizabeth and all of the little tricks he had up his sleeve to get her going.

The seller was prompt in delivery of this item, and it was in perfect condition. I will deal with this seller again. I got this item at an excellent price.

Great movie and worth a watch!!

The movie turned out to be something different than I thought it was about, but it was still a fairly good movie. This movie was recommended to me from a friend.

We hadnt seen this movie since we were a kid and the only scene that we thought was in the movie from back then was Mickey Rouke running in the stret naked. But after purchasing this movie and seening again for the first time in years we were very very disappointed and the movie flopped.
